      Chris Geidner Retweeted Donald J. Trump

      Per pool: "Trump offered his 'warmest best wishes and sympathies' to the family of Aretha Franklin. He described her as a person he knew well and who worked for him. Trump also said her 'legacy will thrive and inspire' many generations." He also tweeted:https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1030116078125568006 …

      The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, is dead. She was a great woman, with a wonderful gift from God, her voice. She will be missed!

      (Not quite clear what the "worked for him" means, but I was looking for times when they interacted, and all I can figure is that she was paid to sing at an event.)

          Isn’t that what “working for someone“ means? If you were paid, as I’m sure she was, then she worked for him. Not complicated…

          Maybe if he had used the PC term “with” as opposed to “for” it would’ve been acceptable? No probably not…

          To clarify people were scrambling to find out whether she really did work with or for him.

          Yea when you pay someone to carry out a task for you, that’s called working for you. Pretty simple actually.

          But, I guess because she has been “paid” to perform in a lot of places I doubt if anyone would reference it as “working for them”

          I’m sure that’s what he meant. He could have said, “She performed at my casinos many times,” but I’m sure people would criticize that as well.

          Why was it necessary to mention their working relationship if he’s known her for many years. But it’s good to know that when they were pictured together it was business not a “friendship”
