THE BEAST

Adam Lambert   has lambasted   Donald Trump   for his failure to "even try to act presidential amidst the chaos" over the death of   George Floyd .

The   QUEEN   singer and   "American Idol"   runner-up made his comments less than a day after   Trump   gave a press conference celebrating surprisingly positive employment numbers for May.   Trump   drew controversy for suggesting during the same press conference that Friday was a "great day" for   George Floyd , whose death in police custody has sparked massive, mostly peaceful protests across the country.

"Hopefully   George   is looking down and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country. [It's] a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody,"   Trump   said during a White House Rose Garden event. "This is a great, great day in terms of equality,"   Trump   added.

Late Friday night,   Lambert   took to his   Twitter   to write: "I watched the   Trump   press conference today... I have NO idea what he was Rambling about! He can't even string together a sentence. It's literally incoherent, fragmented nonsense. I wish I could even decipher what bullshit he's trying to sell!"

An hour later, he added: "I watched the press conference because I wanted to see if he would even try to act presidential amidst the chaos. Nope. Political views are one thing. Xenophobia and racism are not things I tolerate."

For the second month in a row, fewer than half of black Americans were working, with only 49.6% of the population employed, up less than 1 percentage point from April,   according to CNN .

Last month, shortly after riots began erupting across the country over   Floyd 's death,   Lambert   called   Trump   "a complete joke, a liability, a liar and a cancer."

QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT   recently recorded a new version of   "We Are The Champions"   — retitled   "You Are The Champions"   — as a tribute to workers on the frontline fighting coronavirus. All proceeds made from the song will go towards the   COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund   for the   World Health Organization . Via Blabbermouth
