President-elect Donald Trump is no longer expected to visit the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture in observance of Martin Luther King Day, senior level transition sources tell ABC News.

Senior sources initially said Trump would visit the museum, but ABC has learned that the visit was removed from his calendar due to scheduling issues and was not fully planned out.

Trump is expected to visit the museum sometime after he assumes office, the sources say. He will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Washington, D.C., in another way, though details were not immediately available today.

News of the planned visit on Martin Luther King Day came Saturday as Trump drew ire from critics over a Twitter attack against Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis.

"Scheduling Issues"....

[madaboutharry]

1. What is wrong with these people?

[2naSalit]

5. Hateful zealots....nt

[MissKat]

2. What, did someone tell him that he might not be welcomed with adoring fans?

I love John Lewis.

He set the trap and BOOM, the phony fool fell in. (Can we all agree to start calling him a phony? I think it's a word that the orange one will absolutely hate).

If he were to step foot into that museum it would be an opportunity for every black person to tell it like it is-- that not all black people life in ghettoes. That people of color hold important, productive jobs and are happily raising families.

Thank you John Lewis, for being so very brave, then and now. Thank you for making the phony fool react so insanely, once again showing the world what an idiot he is.

13. There are probably pictures of John Lewis being beaten there

Doesn't want to draw more attention to his own cowardice

[left-of-center2012]

3. Those damn scheduling issues

I know Trump must be devastated!

[lark]

4. He just realized African Americans equals blacks.

So, of course he will never go there, it would ruin his hater image and the KKK and Nazis wouldn't like that.

11. Your right! Trump's white supremacists base would not approve.

I have noticed an uptick this weekend of confederate flags flying from pickup trucks.

[Bengus81]

6. Gosh...I am like sooooo SHOCKED!!

Maybe when he's in office him and the CONS in Congress can get a bill passed to eliminate that em...."holiday".

[George II]

7. "He will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Washington, D.C. in another way"?

Knowing how class-less and tact-less he is, probably by getting a bucket of KFC and eating it with a knife and fork:

8. It's gonna be a long 4 years.

[sheshe2]

22. He will probably share the bucket with these guys.

[2naSalit]

9. Just as well...

he has the affect of anti-midas touch and has a way of fouling everything he touches and every place he goes. I would rather he never darken the premises with his ugliness and that rank, oily cloud of disgustingness that oozes from every cell of his nasty self.

[vlyons]

12. makes me want to take a hot shower

Reading about Traitor Trump, seeing him and/or his stooges and apologists gives me the creeps. I feel so dirty and want to shower his contaminating filth away. Traitor Trump and his criminal cohorts are poison.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. He's scared.

Either he doesn't want to create another situation that will galvanize Black-Americans against him, or he knows that enough shit is coming down the pike that he's not going to make it through his inauguration.

[Eyeball_Kid]

14. Trumpy is upsetting his KKK/white supremacy constituency.

He can't let THAT happen. He needs them as his Second Amendment remedy to massive street protests against His Majesty. He's make more political points with his volunteer henchmen if he hoisted the Confederate battle flag on the front porch of the White House.

[tenorly]

17. Bingo.

And welcome to DU, Eyeball Kid. Always good to have people who tell it like it is.

[avebury]

15. He is afraid to go. Plain and simple. nt

[groundloop]

16. "was not fully planned out" - that's the story of this buffoon, can't properly plan anything

[secondwind]

18. maybe he will be busy rescinding all of the President's E.O's, signing whatever is put in front of

him without reading it fully, sign here, sign there, sign, sign sign.

[WhiteTara]

19. I wonder if he will hire US hookers

to pee on MLK's tombstone. That would create some US jobs, so it's all good.

[BigDemVoter]

20. Chicken Shit

He's fucking scared. What a total and complete dumbass.

[Bradical79]

21. Trump, don't even pretend to care.

Best thing he can do for himself is hide in his tower, and leave everyone alone for the day.

[sheshe2]

23. Scared off getting booed the hell out of there.

[sheshe2]

24. "Scheduling Issues"....

Is that the same excuse as 'I want to spend more time with my family'?
