Trump offers Mike Tyson, convicted felon Diddy & accused child molester Michael Jackson as proof he's not racist

Trump has embarked on a bizarre posting spree touting his friendship with Black celebrities following his racist video of Barack and Michelle Obama.

The president took to social media on Wednesday morning to post a series of clips showing him with everyone from ear-biting boxer Mike Tyson, convicted felon Diddy and accused child molester Michael Jackson.

“How quickly people forget. So Sad! President DJT,” Trump wrote in an apparent effort to bolster his credentials with the Black community.

One post, sarcastically titled “A Timeline of Trump’s bigotry,” featured a TikTok video with various images, from the president kissing Black babies and hugging Oprah Winfrey, to shaking Will Smith’s hand and hanging out with Snoop Dogg.
