In a roundtable Thursday in Dallas, Trump proclaimed that the nation’s problems with racism will be solved “very easily. It will go quickly and it will go very easily.”“Americans are good and virtuous people,” Trump said. During a meeting with Republicans at the White House last week, Trump said what happened to Floyd was “horrible,” said one of the attendees, speaking anonymously to share details of a private conversation. “If he was trying to lose, he’d be doing basically what he is doing right now,” said a Republican strategist in frequent touch with the White House. Katrina Pierson, a senior adviser for the Trump campaign, also touted Trump’s work for black Americans.
