Trump refused to say whether a widely lauded civil rights hero, the late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), who was repeatedly jailed and beaten bloody during his fight for racial equality before becoming a Georgia congressman, was impressive.
Keep it up, asshole. You aren’t fit to lick John Lewis’s boots.
“I can’t say one way or the other,” Trump told Axios’ Jonathan Swan in an interview that aired in full Monday night, when asked whether he found the congressman’s achievements impressive. “He didn’t come to my inauguration,” Trump said.
Yes, Trump, you are an asshole.
Impotus Americanus of Extraordinary Pettiness!
Swan: Do you find John Lewis impressive?
Trump: I can’t say one way or the other… but, no, he didn’t come to my inauguration. He didn’t come to my SOTU speeches, and that’s ok… And again, nobody has done more for Black Americans than I have.

Addendum:
Surprising literally no one.
John Lewis didn’t attend his inauguration. That’s the only thing Trump knows about the man. And with that, a grievance was born that will never end, in Trump’s mind.
. “He didn’t come to my inauguration,” Trump said." That’s as far as tRump’s tiny little brain can go. Congressman Lewis’ decades of service and personal sacrifice mean nothing if he didn’t choose to grovel at the feet of The Great One. November can’t come soon enough.
Gee, here I thought I had made up this quote last week…
Unless they’ve been handled by a Covid-positive person first…
The GOP and Trump break it and then complain that it hasn’t worked out.
Swan: “Lyndon Johnson! He passed the Civil Rights Act.”
Trump: “Ask, ask: how has it worked out? If you take a look at what Lyndon Johnson did. How has it worked out?”
Swan: “You think the Civil Rights Act was a mistake?”
Melania will say the same thing at his funeral party:
“I really don’t care; There were many others, also”
Ah, the pivot at last.
Shut up
OT, but I would bet anything that that bruise on the back of his hand means he’s getting antibody plasma, which I have suspected for weeks because he’s been so exposed to the virus.
Trump: “I read a lot. I read a lot. They like to say I don’t read. I read a lot. I comprehend extraordinarily well. Probably better than anybody that you’ve interviewed in a long time. I read a lot. I spend a lot of time with – at meetings.”
“He chose not to come to my inauguration.”
But I know plenty of people who will be at your conviction, sentence and funeral.
Lewis wasn’t the only one who didn’t attend the inauguration. Millions of others sat it out. This man gets smaller every day.
1963-The March on Washington for jobs and justice with John Lewis as one of the organizers led to the Civil rights and voting rights acts.
1963-Fred Trump just a few years after being forced to testify before congress for allegedly purloining federal housing funds was engaging in discriminatory behavior against Black applicants.
Duh. Forced trump and his dad to let dark people into their slums.
45* couldn’t be gracious for 20 seconds.
Even if you handed him instructions printed on an engraved, gold-embossed card and dangled a cheeseburger on a string in front of him.
At his age, it’s more likely it’s a senile purpura from accidentally hitting an object with the back of his hand. Happens to me several times a year. The skin thins with age and connective tissue underneath becomes sparse. You don’t even know you’ve hit something, then later, you look down and there’s a large bruise.
