Singer/actress Lady Gaga, has branded President Donald Trump a ‘racist fool’ in a lengthy statement addressing the death of George Floyd and the protests that have followed.  George Floyd, an unarmed and handcuffed black man, died after being arrested by police for alleged use of counterfeit currency with footage showing police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck as he struggled to breathe and eventually died.  Chauvin was arrested Friday on suspicion of third-degree murder. Reacting to the death of George Floyd and the protests that followed thereafter, Lady Gaga hit out at the President for what she described as ‘fueling racist activity’. ‘I have a lot of things to say about this, but the first thing I want to say is I’m afraid to say anything that will incite further anger, although that is precisely the emotion that’s justified,’ she posted Sunday on her Instagram and Twitter handles.  ‘I do not wish to contribute to more violence, I wish to contr

In the wake of protests that erupted in different American cities over the police killing of George Floyd last week, US President Donald J. Trump on Sunday announced that the US would be designating ‘Antifa’ as a terrorist organization. Antifa, who describe themselves as an anti-fascist group, have been targeted by Trump during times of civil unrest and protests, and Trump and Attorney General William Barr have blamed ‘Antifa’ for violence and property damage during the protests. Antifa, short for anti-fascists, is a fluid movement consisting of left-wing activists, anarchists and other militant anti-fascist demonstrators. Trump's designation would place the group in the same bracket with international organizations such as ISIS and Al Qaeda, as well as white supremacist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan . “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization,” Trump tweeted on Sunday evening .
