Donald Trump: "the first black president"

Kevin M. Kruse Retweeted

Tell me again that it isn’t a cult.



One of these so-called black Trump supporters had the nerve to call Donald Trump “the first black president” during a Black History Month celebration at the White House.

The audience cheered.

That tells you everything you need to know about the people in the room with Trump.

Supposedly because his staff was diverse, his first term policies focused on Black America almost as much as White America, the economy started going up, and "he was cool".
I remember that period pretty well.
Don't get me started on his second term Welfare Reform debacle, though.

Unless you are referring to those two clowns known as "Diamond and Silk", who were also a part of that farce.

I do not advocate for violence but I'm sure there would be someone out there who would beat the president black and blue - if given an opportunity.

I bet if you check his bank account there’s a large cash deposit made recently. Seriously if you want to say he’s been good for the black community I may disagree but understand. But who goes this over the top just to praise someone without getting something for it?

There were some Jews who supported it, thinking the antisemitism was a fetish that would die out. At some point, when THEY were the ones dying out, one might assume that changed their minds.

Sort of like "pro-life lemmings."

One would think that they were forced to get the hint sooner or later.

Even Tim Scott has been forced, once or twice, to realize that some of his fellow Republicans have an "N" word for him, too, and it isn't "Nazi."
