On Wednesday, September 23, President Trump was asked at a White House press briefing how he felt about the Louisville grand jury's decision not to charge the police officers who shot 26-year-old Breonna Taylor in her own apartment.

The officers, executing a warrant for a suspect already in police custody, burst into Taylor's home, weapons drawn, and killed the ER technician. One of the three officers involved was charged with wanton endangerment for accidentally firing his weapon into the neighboring apartment. No officers faced any charges related to the shooting death of Taylor.


Asked about this tragedy, however, President Trump took the opportunity to give himself a pat on the back.

Trump commented:

"My message is that I love the Black community, and I've done more for the Black community than any other president, and I say, with a possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, and I mean that."
"With opportunity zones and with criminal justice reform, with prison reform, with what we've done for historically Black universities, colleges, schools, what we've done, nobody's done more. Abraham Lincoln, let's give him the nod, but beyond that nobody's done more."

Twitter wasn't surprised that President Trump seems habitually unable to empathize with the concerns of his citizens.


Later that same day, President Trump was again asked about the Breonna Taylor grand jury verdict.

This time, he chose to praise the Kentucky Attorney General for his handling of the case, which has resulted in nation-wide protests.


When reporters persisted, President Trump made an excuse and left the room.

The internet is already decrying the Breonna Taylor verdict as a miscarriage of justice.


Others online called out President Trump for his apparent lack of knowledge about such an important issue.



President Trump continues to show Americans where his priorities lie—with himself before anyone else.

The exchange occurred after host Rebecca Quick pressed Louisiana Republican and former physician Bill Cassidy on how his party intended to fund the “trillion-dollar tax cuts” sought by President Donald Trump.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
