To Check His Boasting, Fox News Host Reminds Trump Lincoln Freed Slaves
Trump tried to suggest that he had accomplished more for the black community than any past presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, even a Fox News host felt the need to check him and remind the president that Lincoln freed the slaves.
During an interview that aired on Friday, Harris Faulkner, a Black Fox News host, asked Trump an open-ended question always a risky and adventurous move about how past legislation he has supported or signed, like opportunity zones and criminal justice reform, might help him with the ongoing protests.
Trump immediately started to heap praise upon himself and spoke in terms of his own greatness while trying to minimize Lincoln, saying the 16th presidents accomplishments are always questionable.
Trump said, So, I think Ive done more for the Black community than any other president. And, lets take a pass on Abraham Lincoln because he did good, although, its always questionable, you know, in other words, the end result.
