Former President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., is asking whether or not a lightning strike in Toledo that destroyed a mural of George Floyd was an act of God.
In several social media posts about the incident, Trump Jr. asked if a "higher power" was responsible for the mural's destruction.
The mural depicted Floyd, whom Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin killed in May 2020.
He even shared a meme on his Instagram account about the incident.
"This will drive some people nuts but oh well," Trump Jr. wrote on Instagram. "I mean you have to wonder if someone, like a higher power, is telling us something here?!? Obviously what happened to George Floyd should never happen anywhere!!! That said, objectively speaking, given his history I'm not sure turning him into a deity and a role model for our children is exactly the right idea either. Also please don't tell me they're not trying to turn him into a role model/hero there's statues of him going up all over the country etc. etc. The same lunatics who want to erase our founding fathers want statues of this man all over the place. Again, we can learn from a disastrous situation but the pendulum seems to always correct way too far these days. Discuss!!!"
The Toledo artist who created the mural, David Ross, has already said that he plans on remaking his piece somewhere where everyone can enjoy it.
