Donald Trump, a Racist, Sends Awful Tweet About MLK Jr Day

The Washington Post on January 17th:

More than 8 in 10 black Americans say they believe Trump is a racist and that he has made racism a bigger problem in the country. Nine in 10 disapprove of his job performance overall.

The pessimism goes well beyond assessments of the president. A 65 percent majority of African Americans say it is a “bad time” to be a black person in America. That view is widely shared by clear majorities of black adults across income, generational and political lines. By contrast, 77 percent of black Americans say it is a “good time” to be a white person, with a wide majority saying white people don’t understand the discrimination faced by black Americans.

Courtney Tate, a 40-year-old elementary school teacher in Irving, Tex., outside Dallas, said that since Trump was elected, he’s been having more conversations with his co-workers — discussions that are simultaneously enlightening and exhausting — about racial issues he and his students face every day.

“As a black person, you’ve always seen all the racism, the microaggressions. But as white people, they don’t understand this is how things are going for me,” said Tate, who said he is the only black male teacher in his school. “They don’t live those experiences. They don’t live in those neighborhoods. They moved out. It’s so easy to be white and oblivious in this country.”

Donald Trump is a racist. This has been true since long before he became president. It was true when he called for the Central Park Five to get the death penalty. It was true when he was called out for not hiring black people. It was true when he said he would be more succesfull if he were black. It was true when he said Obama was born in Kenya. It has been true throughout his presidency. It will be true long after his presidency is over. Time and time again he has shown it every step of the way.

Donald Trump, today:

It was exactly three years ago today, January 20, 2017, that I was sworn into office. So appropriate that today is also MLK jr DAY. African-American Unemployment is the LOWEST in the history of our Country, by far. Also, best Poverty, Youth, and Employment numbers, ever. Great!

What an embarrassment.

[FirstLight]

1. I won't dignify this with a share... I want to but decided not

Because instead I choose to focus on the person this day is named after, not this smudge on the heel of humanity

[thegoose]

2. This despicable POS

Words cannot describe what he deserves...

[UniteFightBack]

3. He is a MALIGNANT NARCISSIST SOCIOPATH, so of course this day is about him and then that

other guy can get a mention.

Every day is about him.

[Totally Tunsie]

4. Pig.

[blm]

5. Oh geez.

He has no redeeming features. Not one.

[sarcasmo]

6. Trump proved his narcissism in on tweet.

[rickyhall]

7. He must wear fireproof pants or we'd see his ugly naked ass.

8. Thank you Obama.

9. That Tweet was literally one step short of "YOU PEOPLE NEED TO GET DOWN ON

YOUR KNEES AND THANK ME!"

I failed to include the inevitable spelling and grammatical errors.

[NotHardly]

10. best Poverty, ... numbers, ever. He ain't wrong, greatest number in poverty since

the Great Depression. Gotta love winning.

[alphafemale]

11. It always has to be about him.

He is such a vile person that has not emotionally matured beyond 4.

[OMGWTF]

12. IMPOTUS still doesn't understand why he's been impeached. Zero self-awareness.

[Dukkha]

13. Always ME ME ME ME ME ME!
