Ahmaud Arbery’s Mother: President Trump Was “Very Compassionate”
According to Wanda Cooper-Jones, the mother of Ahmaud Arbery, President Trump was “very compassionate” when he met with families before signing an executive order “geared toward reforming the country's policing tactics,” as reported by Fox News.
“I was very, very emotional throughout the whole conference,” she said. “[Trump] was very compassionate. He showed major concern for all families,” she also mentioned. “Not just one family, but for all families.”
“I can say that President Trump was very receiving. He listened and he addressed each and every family accordingly,” she added.
Ivanka Trump tweeted the video of Cooper-Jones talking about the president, with the caption: “Mrs. Cooper-Jones, the tragic loss and injustice that you have suffered should be experienced by no parent. My father was honored to meet you today and deeply moved by your story. We are with you and will continue to hold your family and Ahmaud in our hearts. God Bless.”
