President Trump and Vice President Pence just made an unannounced trip to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington. They stood in front of it for approximately 30 seconds with their heads bowed before turning and leaving without making remarks.

A moment I will never forget captured by @PeteSouza on the night before the public opening of the MLK, Jr. Monument. Let’s honor MLK, Jr., by continuing the hard work of “bending the long arc of the moral universe towards justice”.

1. You can't blame them

Neither of them knew what the "L" stood for, and both realized it at the same time, so in order to avoid further embarrassment, they suddenly remembered an urgent golf appointment in Florida.

3. They only agreed that he was the King of the Lutheran Church.

Yes, they're that dumb.

2. Better to remain silent and be thought insensitive fools than to speak and remove all doubt

they both don't care about black people. They don't care about all people.

7. Let's make sure there are no statues of trumpence ...

We have to win this war for democracy. The world is at stake and it doesn't want statues of Agolf Twitler and the white-haired guy.
