to me it was sick, passive-aggressive, and some kind of sadistic all rolled into one.

I don't think that Joe - or any of us - could say in public what we really thought of Trump's ridiculous and hateful statement - though for public consumption, "despicable" was a excellent choice of words.

How dare he dishonor the memory of a dead man by using his name to tout his faux accomplishments. It is beyond sickening. Anyone who wasn't disgusted by that has something seriously wrong with them.

I feel so sorry for George Floyd's family. I can't imagine their outrage in having their loved one's name used in such a cheap, sickening political stunt. It is unforgivable.

To have suffered such an unnecessary and devastating loss has to be overwhelming, but to hear the likes of Trump dismiss it in such a way on a national forum is truly unspeakable. The word "despicable" is appropriate.

for all the public to see. It's about character. Personality disorders. Joe knows his foe. He just has to convince the public without being clinical, surgical, or nasty about it.

Donald J. Trump should be very very very worried.
