Coming from him I'm sure it was purely sarcastic but he still hit on the truth...

A North Carolina civil rights museum that recently rejected a request to visit from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has since come under the threat of violence and destruction.
The International Civil Rights Center and Museum in Greensboro said it was forced to turn away the Republican presidential nominee late last month after his campaign staff was aggressive and rude to museum personnel.
According to museum CEO John Swaine, Trumps team was not interested in a tour of the facility that includes the landmark site of the F.W. Woolworth whites-only lunch counter, where a historic civil rights protest took place. Museum staff indicated that Trump was interested only in a photo op while he was in the state campaigning and demanded that the institution be closed for a substantial part of the day.
We did not honor the request of the Donald Trump campaign because we thought [what its members] demonstrated in their approach was disrespectful, so therefore we did not grant it, museum co-founder Earl Jones explained at the time.
Said Jones: Mr. Trump is welcome to come to the museum, just as everyone else, but hes not going to receive any special treatment.
