On MLK Day, President Trump visits Trump golf course
Source: The Washington Post
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. President Trump's first stop Monday was Trump International Golf Club, apparently beginning the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday with golf rather than the charitable service the slain civil rights leader's family has urged as the best way to memorialize him.
The morning after declaring I'm not a racist, Trump began his Monday the same way he has begun each day of the three-day holiday weekend: with tweets sent before leaving his private Mar-a-Lago estate and then a short motorcade to the golf club.
It was not clear whether he planned to perform service later in the day; his public schedule is blank. A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the president's plans, including whether he was playing golf.

(4,407 posts)Why debase MLK Day with a racist President pretending to not be a racist? I'd rather not hear Trump read another scripted lip-service speech where he ad-libs at the end with "congratulations" to the slain civil rights leader.

(11,535 posts)I'm trying to decide which aspect of 45*s personality is worse, his obvious blatant racism or the fact that he just flat out doesn't give a shit about anyone other than himself. It seems like he could forgo golfing for JUST ONE DAY..... but we know where his priorities lie.

(17 posts)To insinuate that Andrew Jackson's picture should be insensitive to the Navajo is being historically ignorant.
If instead of Navajo, they were Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminoles then you might have a point.
Also to lump all native American's together as a group is akin to lumping Historical Enemies of Italians, Germans, French and the English as a single group
