I thought so as well, that Trump was making fun of George Floyd, but it turns out that the clip was from February, when he was making fun of Michael Bloomberg's lackluster performance in the Democratic debates.

OK, fine ... but then, let's also state that the "I Can't Breathe" didn't start with George Floyd. It started with Eric Garner, and had already been used as a rallying cry for systemic racism in policing across the country.
And if Trump knew that and still used it, he's still disgusting. And if his supporters knew it and still think it's funny, then they're disgusting.
And if Trump didn't know it, then shame on him. In the position he currently holds, he should.
