Trump responds to Obama’s eulogy: I did much more for minorities than he did

In the wake of former President Barack Obama’s widely-revered eulogy at the funeral for the late U.S. Representative John Lewis, President Trump was asked by a reporter this Friday about his thoughts on Obama’s record when it comes to minorities.

“Well, he did a bad job for minorities,” Trump said. “I did much more for minorities than he did.”

Trump went on to say that he did a much better job than Obama “by far” for “African Americans, for Asian Americans, for women, for any group you look at — far better than Obama did.”

Maybe if they would all laugh when he makes such asinine remarks, he'll realize what a fool he is. And if not, it'll totally piss him off, which alone would be worth it.

If he really believed he stood a chance at reelection he would have said “I have done...”

He truly believes this nonsense too. He's fucking delusional. Do enlighten us all, Trumplethinskin, just what have you done to "help minorities" and how did our last real president do a "bad job"

Is it still a mystery why nobody likes you?

Oh, and Portland says if you want to be humiliated some more, send your storm troopers back in.
