George Floyd's brother says Trump 'didn't give me an opportunity to even speak' during phone call

Speaking to MSNBC's Al Sharpton, George's brother, Philonise Floyd, said his conversation with President Trump was "so fast."

"He didn't give me an opportunity to even speak," Floyd said. "It was hard. I was trying to talk to him, but he just kept, like, pushing me off, like 'I don't want to hear what you're talking about.'

"And I just told him, I want justice. I said that I couldn't believe that they committed a modern-day lynching in broad daylight," he said.

Expect more threats of punishment, retaliation and tough talk from this wounded political animal

Trump goes to war on multiple fronts as older and women voters flee
Analysis: Expect more threats of punishment, retaliation and tough talk from this wounded political animal as key voters swing to Joe Biden

Donald Trump is in trouble, trailing former Vice President Joe Biden nationally and in most key swing states. He's lost – for now, at least – older voters and white educated women.

The president appears to know his road to a second term is going to be winding and uphill. So he is, once again, following his instincts. And they always tell him one thing: Fight.

The latest Quinnipiac University poll put Mr Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, up nationally 50 per cent to 39 per cent, over the incumbent. But national polls are only a starting point.

------

o Mr Trump is doing what he does, playing the role of political fisherman. He sets the bait. And his opponents and critics, yet again, have taken it.

Twitter executives and Chinese leaders, like so many before them, just could not resist the chum on the hooks Mr Trump tossed into the water. For Mr Trump, being president includes doling out punishment to anyone who has slighted him.
