Could Trump actually take the knee also? Martin Luther III , who was hosted by Trump at White House for MLK celeberation agreed with Morgan's call going by media reports.
Trump had earlier called for Justice for George Floyd , which is latest of his pro-social justice stances in the series of recent stances for pro minority rights causes (designation of MLK birthplace as national historic park, prison reform, use of 'white terrorism' term by Trump Attorney General after recent shootings, inviting Black Lives matter activists to CPAC 2020/White House, Jack Johnson pardon over anti-White Slave Act violation, threatening Sweden for immediate release of rappaer Rocky ASAP among other initiatives to enhance diversity and race relations). Various Trump allies and celebs like Kanye West, Kim Kardshian, Tom Brady, Rocky ASAP among others have also raised voices for BLM supported social justice campaign.
