I disagree with Trump here. But I understand why he said it.
Trump: I bet Renee Good was a "solid, wonderful person" under "normal circumstances," but "her actions were pretty tough"
President Trump told CBS News he believes the woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, was likely a "very, solid wonderful person," but her actions before she was killed were "pretty tough."

Dokoupil asked if the president had a message for Good's father, Timothy Ganger, a Trump supporter who spoke with Dokoupil last week and described his daughter as a warm and witty person who wrote poetry and taught English. Ganger told CBS News he's heartbroken that the Trump administration quickly called Good "a domestic terrorist."
Mr. Trump said: "I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person. But, you know, her actions were pretty tough."
Of course, Trump did not want to badmouth Good in a message to her grieving father, as CBS was trying to get him to do.
But nothing I've heard about Good indicated that she was a solid, wonderful person.
No job. Not ever, as far as I know. If she had had one, they would have interviews with her former co-workers telling how great she was.
Two kids from her first marriage (of three) that she lost custody of. One more kid that she "dropped off" so she could participate in harassing federal agents.
Most of all, she was willing to risk killing a federal agent directly in front of her vehicle and other bystanders because her wife said "drive baby drive."
If I were her dad, I'm sure that I would blame the victim also. It is a natural and emotion-driven reaction. But logic must prevail.
