    Default Global Anger Grows Over George Floyd Death, and Becomes an Anti-Trump Cudgel

    This sure is making Trump look bad and inept too, so much for MAGA?!! I think that the George Floyd murder and the resulting protesting in the states and around the world too, will be the final nail in Trump's coffin too?!! Think about it, worldwide condemnation?!!

    Public outcries over racism in the United States erupted from Addis Ababa to Vancouver. China and Iran, criticized on human rights by the Trump administration, called the killing of Mr. Floyd a symbol of American hypocrisy.

    Mass protests over the police killing of another black man in the United States spread globally in the past few days, as many demonstrators not only expressed solidarity with their American counterparts but denounced racism in their own countries.

    Some critics, notably in China and Iran, used the killing to deflect from their own problems, saying it showed what they called the hypocrisy and arrogance of an increasingly isolated Trump administration.

    The criticism thundered from the streets of Berlin, London, Paris and Vancouver, British Columbia, to capitals in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Artists drew an anti-racism mural in a besieged part of Syria. Lebanese and Chilean protesters offered advice on protection from police abuse.

    The catalyst for the worldwide outpouring, George Floyd, 46, died last week after he was handcuffed and pinned to the ground by a white Minneapolis police officer, who has been charged with murder.

    Ya Trump is responsible for the death which occurred under a Democrat police chief, under a Democrat mayor, under a Democrat governor.
