What Trumps final tweet should say

A recent tweet from @realDonaldTrump: “John Lewis is an American hero. I look forward to working with him in the years to come.”

That, my friends, is what’s known as “fake news.” It didn’t happen. I made it up.

Here’s real news: Just days before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump got into a verbal battle with Rep.?John Lewis (D-Ga.), one of America’s greatest living heroes and an icon of the civil rights movement.

As all surely know by now, Lewis said that Trump isn’t a legitimate president, to which Trump retorted that Lewis is “all talk, talk, talk — no action.”

Now, now, gentlemen, isn’t one of you about to become president of the United States?

By all means, Irony, take a bow.

How rich that Trump would be so offended by a charge of illegitimacy when he spent years trying to prove the same about Barack Obama’s presidency.
