As protests took place across America on Tuesday the music industry began a #BlackoutTuesday campaign which ended up spreading and being joined by people from every walk of life.
And while President Donald Trump was tweeting, “NYC, CALL UP THE NATIONAL GUARD. The lowlifes and losers are ripping you apart.
Act fast! Don’t make the same horrible and deadly mistake you made with the Nursing Homes!!!” his daughter Tiffany Trump was joining the #BlackoutTuesday campaign.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 2, 2020
“Alone we can achieve so little; together we can achieve so much.”- Helen Keller #blackoutTuesday #justiceforgeorgefloyd,” Tiffany wrote on Instagram.
Notably, 26-year-old Tiffany Trump, who just graduated from law school at Georgetown University, was the only Trump to participate, though her mother Marla Maples, Donald Trump’s ex-wife, did join her daughter in the campaign.
“🖤One world 💛One Love🤍One Spirit flows between us… Please God let’s pause to feel this … let’s take this day to feel the pain and fear which has been inflicted on our brothers and sisters and come together… Unified … I Choose Love 💜 I Choose Peace ☮️ I Choose to Listen 🙌 I Choose to Learn with a heart wide open 🙏🏼 #georgefloyd #callforlove #blackouttuesday #pray,” wrote Maples.
The responses to Tiffany Trump’s #BlackoutTuesday post were, of course, mixed, with many commenters asking her to speak to her father.
“Maybe you could try to explain this to your father,” one person commented.
“Hey Tiffany, have you tried to talk to your father about the racist and dangerous words he’s been using throughout his presidency? That seems like a great place to start,” another wrote.
“UNFOLLOWED FOREVER,” wrote a dissenter.
Meanwhile, Tuesday night, the President’s wife Melania Trump urged people on social media to obey the curfews and spend time with their loved ones.
