During a Wednesday interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, President Trump admitted he hadn't seen the entire video of George Floyd's murder because of its extreme length—more than eight minutes.
Here's video of Trump's interview with Hannity.
Trump admits he didn't watch full George Floyd video: “It was over eight minutes. Who could watch that?" https://t.co/1SFqaRzOu6

Trump told Hannity:
"Well, the George Floyd case, nothing has to be said. I watched that, I couldn't really watch it for that long a period of time, it was over eight minutes, and who could watch that?"
Trump tells Sean Hannity that he could not watch George Floyd being murdered for over eight minutes. That's because he can't sit still for more than 30 seconds. And because he himself wasn't on the screen. Don't think for a second he cared about a black man being murdered.

He has the attention span of a gnat

tRump admits his attention span is less than 8 minutes. That's less than a kindergartner. Sad.

Though Trump did acknowledge the officer who killed Floyd may have "some big problems, there's no question about it," he went on to defend the killer of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta.
Trump claimed Brook's murderer "heard a gunshot and saw a flash" which the officer never claimed.
Trump: “It was over eight minutes. Who could watch that?"
Everyone else: "Anyone with a soul"

He should resign just for this statement.

The very essence of trash

Twitter couldn't believe the shameless insensitivity of Trump's words.
What an inconvenience? Amirite

Trump asks who could watch the killing of George Floyd for that long a period of time. I'd hope the president would watch in order to better understand what black Americans suffer every single day. What a
sickening response.

I wonder how he is able to watch 16 hours of cable TV every day.

Just as worrisome to many online was Trump's apparent inability to focus on anything but himself for extended periods of time.
The president of the United States admits to not being able to watch a video for 8 minutes. What does that say for briefings, reports, cabinet meeting?

8 minutes... no music track.... no cuts.. no flashing lights or explosions.. no teenagers in bikinis .. how could that hold his attention? Sorry, what was it about?

A mature compassionate person could watch and face the awfulness of it.
So clearly not him.

Some thought that Trump might govern differently if he made himself confront difficult footage like the video of Floyd's death.
Hook him up like Alex in Clockwork Orange and force him to watch every minute.

He can only watch footage about himself. #NoEmpathyPresident

America deserves a President that can focus on important issues for much longer than eight minutes.
