Trump Tells Some Convention Goers to Wear Blackface to Show GOP's Diversity

CLEVELAND, OHIO (The Nil Admirari) - Today, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged some Republicans to show up to the 2016 Republican National Convention in blackface. Trump claimed the act would show how diverse the GOP was.

"The Blacks know I have done a lot for them. No one has done more for the Blacks than me, and that is why some Republicans should show up to the convention in blackface. We have so few Blacks," explained Trump.

Spurious news.
