President Trump declined to praise the late Rep. John Lewis in an interview, claiming that he himself had done more for Black Americans than anyone else. 'He didn't come to my inauguration,” Trump said. “He should've come.”

in the civil rights movement before being elected to Congress, Trump deferred.

"I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive," Trump said."He didn't come to my inauguration. He didn't come to my State of the Union speeches. And that's OK, that's his right. And again, nobody has done more for Black Americans than I have. He should've come. I think he made a big mistake.

"He was a person that devoted a lot of energy and lot of heart to civil rights. But there were many others also."Condemnation of Trump's remarks was swift and severe on Tuesday. "He's delusional. He's a narcissist, and he is delusional," Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said in an interview with CNN.

"He's done nothing for African Americans in this country, and to speak that in the same sentence as speaking of John Lewis is almost blasphemous," she said.

Not good.

Because of the COVID__19 ChinaVirus look at the picture

Many more would come to your resignation.

Always disrespectful of the dead in our society,John Mcain,John Lewis,156,000 COVID victims,this president is dead to me!!!!!

Narcissism at its finest! Let’s be real; there was no way Trump was going to celebrate John Lewis...The center of attention wasn’t about Donald and furthermore, unlike our previous Presidents; he wasn’t even a consideration to speak! If

what a sick sick man. The problem is 50 million Americans support everything he says and does

in 2017, 45 slandered/libeled Mr Lewis before the inauguration for speaking out against him. people boycotted the inauguration for 45’s response on the eve of MLK day. 45’s mental health is declining & we should RemoveTrumpNow

IF Y'ALL DON'T KNOW BY NOW YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HE DON'T CARE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ACHIEVED MORE THAN HIM. AND TRUMP DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT AMERICAN'S HE TOOK THIS JOB TO GET RICH. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW HE WAS BROKE AND NOT THE BILLIONAIRE HE CLAIM TO BE.🤔😏😒😏

He never ceases to amaze me! He is a certified narcissistic sociopath! How did America get duped? Or should I be worried about the majority of Americans?

Fricking whiner....should have come to my inauguration...

Does it really matter? Trump wasn’t invited and wouldn’t have been welcomed.

TrumpIsALaughingStock

Bringing up his hurt feelings bout his inauguration. this is the guy in the WH it's so past disgraceful n pathetic TrumpIsUnwell

POTUS You are the President of the United States. Stop acting like a spoiled brat. Give credit where credit is due. Start being a Leader. You have not done more for Black Americans. You have created hatred to be more prominent in the US today.

What a big baby there’s a very tiny violin playing for trump boo boo boo

What goes around comes around. Good call Mr. President

More childish behaviour from liar in chief!! When will we see some presidential behaviour

Oh

If I had to pick between trump or Covid; I would hesitate to respond for several seconds.

How horrible, we have to have a president like this! No manners, absolutely no intelligence!

Trump looks like a corpse..Melania is married to her grandpa.

Wow. The delusional thinking of Donald Trump is astounding.

The pettiness is strong with this one....

what a childish punk we have as president - cant wait for nov

Awww, the 5 year old has hurt feelings! Trump it’s too late for you to become an adult! Just keep blaming everyone else and go sulk in the corner somewhere else.

😒 If he was doing anything FOR Black Americans, he would have shown up.

He should have!

and from this point on.. nothing but 'tweets from taxpayer supported NPR twits'.. save yourself some time and what's left of your sanity and.. DefundNPR.. and...

realDonaldTrump Did somebody just say Central Park 5?

And you should disappear. They're ALL coming for you!

He's a lowlife

Trump you are acting so childish realDonaldTrump I always heard old people go thru a second childhood. But I don’t think you ever out gree childhood.

Can’t make this shit up! A legend in his small brain 🧠

Was there ever a pettier response by a sitting POTUS to praising the life's work of a devoted American statesman...? I cannot think of one ...noleadership BlackLivesMatter

No sane person turned up at trump’s inauguration

If you didn’t come to my birfday party I’m not your friend..My mom made cupcakes and everything

Then there's this idiot.

He is like a 14 year old girl

Disrespect is paid with respect by the wise A horse needs blinkers to see straight Emotional creatures never judge wisely

Yet, regarding Ghislaine Maxwell He 'wishes her well'

Trump's presence wouldv'e cast a dark cloud of hatred over an otherwise glorious celebration of Rep Lewis' life.

A sad, tiny man. Would be pitiable if he weren’t so powerful.

I try to find something good about everyone: If trump spent as much or even half as much time working for the country as he does stroking himself or making sure everyone else does we’d be in a lot worse shape. So that’s something good, right...

Waiting to see realDonaldTrump tweet that repjohnlewis is not welcome to realDonaldTrump funeral..!

Trump is an empty vessel. An insecure little man who pretends to be confident and capable. Clinton, Bush and Obama attended John Lewis’s service. Trump is a non entity. His absence didn’t matter because the public dislikes him so much.

this man is horrible and a liar why do you report on him!

Can we get a independent mental health assessment on this idiot ?

What a petty little person DJT is.

Seriously, how the hell is NPR still a relevant “news” source.. when you, in fact, NEVER actually report ALL the News in its Truthful Entirety. JokerNews

Translation: I’m butt hurt that he didn’t come to my party.

The man has no soul, and his time will come

You’re putting too much energy into hating one candidate, while simultaneously promoting your personal favorite who is succumbing to Dementia, and helping RIG the debates and elections by Imposing VoterSuppression By NOT talking about 3rd Party Candidates at all. RiggedElection

Yet another example of TrashManTrump

JedipeachS Good. We don’t need his empty.

NarcissistInChief

He’s such a child. No one came to his inauguration. Not even his supporters soo

I’m with Trump 🤟🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

Sociopath behavior again. He is probably glad you didn’t come. You aren’t 1/3 the man he was. Glad you didn’t spoil his funeral.

petty, petty, racist mthafk......

Hey, how about some stories about the George Floyd body cam footage. Ya know, maybe debate the idea that it wasn’t a race motivated killing?

Trumps not a politician. He’s a brawler. Stop acting shocked.

who cares. Talk about a petty article trying to start drama. Our media is like that bad catty negative friend who always talks smack.

NPR quit baiting. John Lewis did what every other politician has done. Line his and his families pockets with taxpayer money for decades. That makes him corrupt as well. I don’t give a shit how many marches he was in. He did nothing for the black community!

He is Trump n “it is what it is”. Most people acknowledged John Lewis great contribution to the world/ mankind than a single person’s disapproval of him. If we had more John Lewis, surely, the world will be a better place that it is at the moment.

Shows the lack of character- I continue to be shocked by his behavior and those that voted him in, appalling

I've figured out why Trump hates Tik tock!: It's the sound of the clock counting down leading to the election! No wonder he ignores the safety precautions of the virus! It just might be his only way to stay out of Leavenworth!

The point is not that he didn't attend, he is acting like a kid🤷🏽‍♀️U didn't go 2my event so I'm not going 2yours &the man is dead🤷🏽‍♀️Like if is hurting Mr Lewis feelings🤷🏽‍♀️My God, U R the POTUS have some class‼️ Mr Lewis had every reason 2believe U R a racist from previous behavior

This. I have no words left.

This man continues to show all of us that he only cares about himself.

Now, That's Funny.

Of course he was at inauguration, along with “million man” Black Americans who got day off at nearby Plantations to celebrate in D.C., at “being free at last” or in near future. .

Good for him for not bending.

He's right.

This is one stupid man and this is what you people want to follow and look up to a a leader. He is a straight clown

I said it once I’ll say it a million times once a narcissistic psychopath always a narcissistic psychopath

He called President Trump an illegitament president, there is a saying respect me I'll respect you.

Good for Trump! Once again proving he is no DemHypocrite.

DefundNPR

What leadership. What a role model for our citizens.

You REFUSE to address the plantation politics John Lewis sold out to for decades. What did HE ACTUALLY DO for his district? Did he ever address violent black on black crime+the devastating effects of welfare & the thug life espoused by wealthy blacks like S_C_ on black families?

John Lewis will be erased from history. Traitor...ring a bell?

What a child you are realDonaldTrump grow the f up and do your job. Better yet, resign...You can’t hold John Lewis’s jock. RidenWithBiden2020 TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsNotWell TrumpPressConference TrumpIsANationalDisgrace Trump TrumpFailedAmerica TrumpIsLosing

Waiting for Sean Hannity to call Trump a greasy politician for making Lewis' death all about himself...

Trump wonders why people don't like him and he says shit like this.

NarcissistInChief

That guy is really delusional or he is used to speaking to fools.

Correct, as dully appointed representative of the people he or any other can't dismiss the people's choice, and therefore those votes because he doesn't like winner! What would of happened if people did that to Obama?

And you should have a brain......but yet here we are!

So can give us a list of accomplishments by Lewis since 1987? You cannot talk about anything prior to 1987. I’ll start he sold seats on trips with lobbyists for at least $25,000 each.

Imagine how far away the camera has to be to get trumps whole head in the picture.

So the president didn't go to LEwis funeral? No big deal. DefundNPR

For John ...

Deplorable.

Think you all may want to chat with more people, there are a lot of black Republicans who are strong Trump supporters because he has done so much for the black community, for America in general. The Democratic leaders only care about power, not the people.

Basically, he has....

I am once again aghast at this POTUS. By now I should just expect it, but the lack of empathy and the narcissism still dumbfounds me.

EDENGATEKEEPER If you can get out-niced by a war criminal in George W. Bush, who actually attended John Lewis’s funeral (even though John Lewis didn’t attend Bush’s inauguration either), then you’re doing something EXTREMELY wrong.

Such a petty, pathetic little man . . .

What a twisted strand of DNA ...

Rep John Lewis is grinning from heaven and tells the pathetic clown he's relieved he didn't show up or brought the porn peasant to disgrace the awesome services.

Cry baby, everything is all about Trump. I'm tired of all the minutiae that he brings. Enough is enough.

So THAT's why he hates most of the country and sows so much chaos. Most of us didn't go to the inauguration, either.

Sad little Donnie. He should have come to the joke you are Donnie. Nah, Lewis did the right thing. Donnie’s too petty to understand.

He is incapable of talking about anything without inserting & oddly praising himself.

Ruling with indignation after not being given the honor of the kingdom!!!!! The man of sin sits where he should!! Repent before it's too late! He's already distributed the wealth, used policy to bring jobs back and has been magnifying himself since day one.

Damn, no compassion lol

And 5 minutes later he wished Maxwell well.... again! He had more nice things to say about a sex trafficker and child rapist than he did of the great John Lewis. Because John like so many of us didn’t go to his inauguration. Most of us did not want to be there. What a narcissist.

The only thing Trump has done is ride Obama's coattails on unemployment decreasing. Under Obama unemployment went from 8.8% to 4.4% that created more jobs for Black Americans than Trump going from 4.4 to 3.2. Now 30% unemployment Trump's claims are bogus.

Barack Obama used his funeral for a Joe Biden rally, TALK ABOUT THAT PLEASE.

He didn't send me a Christmas card last year, so i'm not going to send him one next year. And this is one of the reasons why TrumpIsALaughingStock is trending. He's a pathetic excuse for a human being. Waiting for the day he gets banged up.

Every time I think I can't loathe him more, he does something new like this...

I am quite sure that John Lewis could have cared less if Trump said anything at all. He couldn't stand him. John Lewis was not only brave but he was also very smart.

It’s cool, nobody wanted him there anyway. Plus we all know he could never handle being in the same room as Obama, sooooo.....💁‍♀️

Okay, now lets move on. Black folks did not want to see a tRump at Rep Lewis' funeral. He is ignorant & racist. We know this. Time to move on to his other egregious actions. tRump is a punk. He knows he's hated so he stayed away. What about those kids in cages

Doesn't donald look, in photo after photo lately, more and more like a suit full of vomit? I can't help but think that he might not have been in worse mental condition at the beginning of 2020, but their paths crossed somewhere along the way.

Name ONE thing Democrats have EVER done for ANY Americans let alone Black Americans? Ill wait!

I wonder who will attend trumps funeral.

There really aren’t any words. There is no bottom, and there are no words.

What have ANY Democrats done for Black America? Deception is all

jonathanvswan literally would have been in right to respond to Trump I’ve done more for BlackPeople than anyone since Lincoln, while talking about John Lewis and LBJ votingrightsact selma CivilRights, by asking “sir, are you high right now?” AxiosOnHBO axios hehimself

Keeps trying to get even with people, even when they’re dead.

So appalling......

WTF is wrong with Trump?

Always about him, him, him

I agree good for Trump.

The president probably has. John Lewis had 50 years of a public microphone. President Trump reunited more black families than any American by implementing something simple like prison reform. It wasn't hard.

In a way, he has -- Lewis did a whole lot of pandering, made an awful lot of money with the 'black cause' -- and then got dismal results for all that money -- Just because he is dead, doesn't change his history. . . .

What a repulsive little boy. Still seething after three years. Someone like him shouldn’t be running a lemonade stand, let alone a country.

realDonaldTrump well THEHermanCain came to your rally and now he’s dead.

Its all about him. Always is, always will be.

I plead the 25th MAGA = KLAN

Trump is a disgrace to this country! 2feetandaheartbeat AnyoneButTrump2020 RepublicansForBiden

Well, he has and you'll see it's true come Nov. Black people aren't as stupid as you try to force them to be.

the 'petty' king

What a petty, petulant, poor excuse for a person and a President.

This petulant fucking child.

'But what about meeeeee?!' There is no limit to his asshole-ery.

Trump didn’t know who Lewis was much less noticed or cared that he wasn’t at his inauguration.

Why would he praise a man who hates him?

What a fucking little baby!

Fuck Lewis

This man is so racist and petty. Can we be done with him now?

He is so incredibly petty. I actually recoiled after reading this.

Lewis is above you! Trump is nothing in this society and no one will ever revere you

Lewis was above going to anything Of the liar in the WH. Lewis was a man oh honor and will always hold that place. Trump a liar, cheat, disgusting nonsense human being. Weak uneducated ignorant person

Is he FUCKING SERIOUS? WHAT HAS HE DONE? MAYBE HAD 1 MAN RELEASED FROM PRISON THAT'S ALL I KNOW ABOUT.But he also killed Herman Cain. So I'd say he's maybe even. Wow that's a lot compared to John Lewis who helped get Civil Rights for generations of Blacks.

John Lewis doesn’t need trump’s praise. Rep. Lewis’s life is a testament to a life well lived that trump will never achieve!!

DStewart541

What a terrible man.

What a disgrace, he didn't go to Bush's either and President Bush was there. This is the difference between a President who loves America and one who only loves himself.

What the actual f

Disgusting Ominous Narcissist Arsehole Liar Dictator. Traitor Racist Ugly Megalomaniac Predator

“He was an icon of civil rights and we are a better country for having him in it.” How hard would that have been? It’s so easy to be respectful and costs nothing (in fact enhances you) to act like a decent human. Trump is the smallest person this country has ever produced.

SmokeyStafford PettyFacedPresident*

If it wasn't for all the dead, injured, abused, raped, traumatized, threatened, bullied, unjustly imprisoned, unjustly pardoned, unjustly fired, insulted, cheated, robbed, discriminated against and otherwise betrayed people he has left in his wake... I would feel sorry for him.

Lewis was in the Racist camp with Sharpton and Farrakhan

Have we ever had a more despicable president? Absolutely not. November 3rd can't happen fast enough.

TRUMP HOLDS GRUDGES. This is testimony to his immaturity.

good call trump all lives matter.

In fairness, it was the smallest inauguration in history. TrumpFailedAmerica

Trump is a whiney brat.

Jealous Trumpishki

I don't think John Lewis r his family really care what Trump think of Mr. Lewis. Trump will never be the man Mr. Lewis was, Trump will never have the legacy Mr. Lewis have. No one will come to Trump funeral either, his legacy is very Dark.

45 is the definition of self centered! 8645

DORK

The f**king nerve. The language of slaveholders: I've done more for Black people...' as if he's been kind to his slaves on the plantation. 🤬 'Prison reform' is not 'doing something for AAs'. We're not the only ones in jail, bigot! He's not fit to speak John Lewis'name.

The pettiness and self absorption never cease to amaze.

I’m over it. Nothing will change my mind November 3rd. N O T H I N G

This man is delusional and a pathological liar

Such a little, tiny man with no soul.

FoPRR Hope is on the way.... VOTE! Dotard realDonaldTrump

I can’t even with this statement. It’s said with the same tone as a 5-year-old about friends who didn’t come to their birthday party. 😑

I want him behind bars immediately after he leaves the White House.

OMG- so full of self, most pathetic guy I ever saw. Total loser.

NPR should fight being bought by a political party and have the integrity to give unbiased news. CNN, MSNBC and NY Times already have full time staff writing anti-Trump articles. There’s other topics in the world and we need actual news, not propaganda

He is sick. He has no shame.

No offense to small to miss out on the revenge train.

Talk about holding a grudge!

John Lewis will be remembered and honored for eternity for his tireless and courageous lifetime dedication of civil rights work and no one will ever care that he didn’t attend realDonaldTrump inauguration.

What a flake.

It is staggering how many people live rent free in Mango Mussolini’s head. 🤣

Lewis was an activist. Herman Cain actually was a success and gave back to the community. Trump praised Cain.

Wait till he sees the crowd on the day he leaves office. Legitimately his biggest crowd ever, with the highest ratings.

Politics aside, he is truly one of the most disgusting humans on the planet.

& in that same breath he wished an indicted sex trafficker well 🥴 GOP this is your guy! You own him & history will own you all 🤞🏽 just wait on it 💯

Lewis was a bigot and a racist. Trump isn’t. And Trump has done more for blacks then Lewis ever came close to doing. Trump empowers, Lewis made them victims.

Lies lies lies. He is the King of Denial! 😥😢😡

baby

Let's face it John Lewis was a hateful anti-white racist and a terrible congressman who made his whole career on the fact he marched during the civil rights era. He disrespected Trump and deserved the amount of respect Trump showed him.

What a disgrace...

🙄

45's smug, sanctimonious excuses are sickening!

tik tok times a coming to end the worst administration in US history.

He needs...handcuffs and a jail cell

realDonaldTrump GROW THE FVCK UP!

Not wrong

Has any President EVER been so tacky and juvenile? I mean they might have thought small thoughts, but the decorum of the office would surely have kept them from feeling comfortable voicing them publicly. This can NOT happen again. These values and standards exist for a reason.

OMG

Me me me

Ask any black person who's done the most for them, and they will say Trump. Hands down. Very reasonable claim.

Trump is just incapable of acknowledging a real winner! Trump is the loser! John Lewis has won the game of life!

jackaberlin He’s a petty, hollow husk of a man. You could almost feel sorry for him. But I don’t.

OMG, what a cry baby

Lol petty

What a goddamed baby

Of course it’s always only about him! 👿 He Cares nothing about the lives of Americans!

Could you imagine realDonaldTrump putting someone before himself like repjohnlewis did that day the bridge! Imagine trump acting selflessly or doing something for the movement and not just for himself .... lol I can’t even type this without laughing. He such a miserable slob

tRUmp🇷🇺 didn’t have anything nice to say about McCain either...having that traitortrump say anything more would be an insult to both real Americans

I’ve always called Trump a pathological narcissist, but he is just nuts.

No one hardly went 😂😂😂😂😂

Another example of Trump’s pettiness. Beneath a national leader.

Egotistical idiot. Vote November 4 th!!!!

So shallow his shadow disappeared

This man is such a cowardly narcissist. I cannot even begin to think that this man would allow himself to be beaten bloody and jailed for anyone. He has done nothing but bait a race war in America.

He’s the worst!

The most self-centered man on the planet.He let the virus take hold in NewYork & the country because he hated New York, thought the virus would kill a bunch of democrats, he called it a hoax & sold all our pandemic supplies! Needs to be charged with Crimes against Humanity.

WeWillVote

Once again Trump lies and denies and leaves it to the people to sort out. Most people don't do it they actually will take this buffoons word about what he is saying the virus hasn't level out it's still here it's not going anywhere and this pigment half is making things worse.

charlesadler What a small, pitiful man Trump is

He's killed more blacks than anyone else. Also, it is spelled *Pedophile. Not president. Shame on you for saying that about an impeached pedophile. Very disrespectful to America.

How dare he not praise John Lewis, he deserves to be impeached!

charlesadler WOW! Teeny tiny man with teeny tiny brain! America you deserve better, get out and vote!

Big baby.

VerryBeth What a pitiful human being

It's safe to say, like me, Trump is not a fan of John Lewis. To expect hypocritical praise of Lewis may work among Democrats. But not among those of us who value truth & respect those who do. And, no, this is not a racially motivated statement. It's one based on Lewis' actions.

Please Resign 🙏🙏🙏realDonaldTrump

I would love to see a major expose on what Trump has done for black America.

Is there anyone more loathsome?

Jerk

Yea he has done more of everything for everybody just ask him.

Good for Trump !

Raaaaaaaaacist.

Unbelievable

Well, at least he's consistent. Consistently insensitive and moronic.

Ughhhhhhhh he sucks so much.

Waaaa! You are A grown ass man, too bad you never grew up!

WHAT A BITCH! My word, this thing has no soul.

Once again it’s always about him. Such a self centered man.

What a mean person. Shame.

😡😡😡

Lol what does not going to his inauguration have to do with what either have done for Black Americans

Ghislaine Maxwell, the sex trafficker, he wishes well though.

There’s no bottom to his pettiness. He’s not just the worst president ever, he’s the worst person to be president. By far.

DefundNPR

I honestly believe Trump doesn't know much about John Lewis because it doesn't revolve around him. He'll praise someone like Kim Jong In because it benefits him, but John Lewis? He couldn't care. Probably has no idea what the man did while he was alive.

If only Lewis had regretted being blackballed for not showing up at Trump's inauguration! Hmmm. If only Trump could go back...way back, and out of curiosity slip into Lewis's shoes, even he would give Lewis his props! Those black jacks, rocks, brogans, night sticks, 2 x 4's hurt.

John Lewis was a biased politician and disrespected President Trump every chance he got. So screw Lewis. He died. Big deal. People die everyday. He wasn’t special to me. A white male in my 50’s. Que sera sera.

Geez. Even when he gave a backhanded compliment to Lewis, he went all 'all lives matter' on it.

He sounds way too similar with how my 5 year old niece responded to me when I was negotiating with her to attend her classmate’s birthday party.

realDonaldTrump is a real lunatic making such claims. You’re a WEAK child in an old man’s obese body because someone didn’t come to your birthday party. There’s a reason people don’t come to your poorly attended inauguration- it’s because you’re a wretched scum!

realDonaldTrump is a petty, insecure person.

Comforting to know that Trump is so petty.

Why didnt john do anything about the civil rights in chicago..Edmund Pettus was grand dragon for KKK the bridge in selma al.was named after him..

Excuse me while I run away to fetch. People praising Lewis after not not working with him on his goals is also nauseating, but Trump flat out makes the man's death about himself.

sickening, evil and wicked !

He is a small, small boy

Pettiness is his thing.

This MF’er is truly going to hell. I hope it’s today or tomorrow! 🙏

Wow....

When Dump claims he's done MORE for Black Americans than any other POTUS/Person...

Petty

NPR PIT OF MISINFORMATION!

Ugly from head to toe- heart and soul.The scourge of America.

Petty little man

Disgusting. Disrespectful.

What a sociopath!!

This is not a sign of emotional intelligence

John Lewis was not a likable man. One could say he was rather unhinged the last few years.

Asshole.

Trump is correct he has done more for blacks than anyone else ever.

'Nobody' came to it.

Lewis was constantly disrespectful of the President. Npr pushing race narratives always.

He’s a mean old man.

. He just repeated a fact he didn’t go to the inauguration or any state of the union both facts . President Trump actually said it was his choice to do so .

He keeps on digging his hole deeper

Look at this $$&

Look at Trump in this picture. Something is finally giving him the mandatory presidential stress.

Our pres is a grudge-holding, egotistical petty thug who can’t see the forest for the trees johnroberts

what. a. petulant. manchild.

howarth_cornell And now we can all agree. This guy definitely raped children

Most Americans didn't come to his inauguration. Is that why he's killing us?

Yes John Lewis has shown TOTAL DISRESPECT to President Trump, not even coming to his inauguration! As ALL the Deomocrats have done toward Trump, along with the corrupt evil dishonest liberal news media...and YES NPR ALSO! DEFUND LIBERAL LOVING NPR IMMEDIATELY AFTER ELECTION!

realDonaldTrump You brag about doing more for blacks but yet watch many be brutalized & killed by the police while a white man shoots an AK47 at cops & live(no brutality).You have cops holding a 6y/o at gunpoint along w/her fam. You protect FAKE things (statues) over people!

Why would a person that fought for equality, and justice attend the inauguration of a racist

There, there Baby, Mr. Lewis passed away. So you can let that go now.

We know trump... no explanation is needed.

He’s such an a-hole.

This guys is a dispicable human being!

Breaking: bratty toddler continues to act like bratty toddler. ToddlerInChief

So very self-centered.

This man does not want to be re-elected.

Lewis didn’t go to George bush inauguration either. Bush spoke at Lewis’ funeral. DT is a 💩 stain.

It's unbelievable that Trump could only focus on the fact that John Lewis did not attend his inauguration. Who are we kidding...he has no clue about John Lewis's story.

He is such a baby. So embarrassing. TrumpIsALaughingStock

NPR needs to be defunded because you do not use this platform to inform the public, you are all just propagandist

What a tool.

Once again it's all about him Mr. Vindictive

DonaldTrump at his usual: showing impudence to people

realDonaldTrump is not well.

Bunkerboy does not know John Lewis!

😳🤦‍♀️

Tump is a very small minded, pathetic man! Let’s not waste anymore time discussing this. Let’s focus on voting this POS out this November.

Trump just doesn’t know who he is. Trump keeps praising people he doesn’t know and it bites him in the butt.... Trump should have taken the time to figure out who Lewis was.

What an absolute tool.

That inauguration was a hoax.

So small !

Well?

What a child.

You almost need a microscope to see this president.

Wow; he ONLY sees himself in EVERY situation.

Self absorbed buffoon

Trump’s brain reserves 90% of it to remembering every slight against him and 10% to everything else.

Real petty

He meant to say he’s the president that been mostly mentioned in rap more than any other presidents beside bill Clinton and regan plus Obama

What an absolute disgusting person. Self centered asshole. Trump knows nothing of leadership, empathy, compassion and greatness. He will go down as a laughing stalk of a POTUS.

one of the best things Congressman John Lewis ever done good trouble 💕

Americans, PLEASE pray for Trump! 🙏✝️ I do despite my disagreements; as a human being, nonetheless, Trump needs genuine concern and compassion.

Has there ever been a more petty, pathetic, self-important schmuck, to hold the office of President? He's a failure in business, a failure as *president, and a failure as a human being. He's not COMPLETELY useless; he will always serve as a bad example. 864511032020

Not only his hands are small

He should have.

Pres Trump is a petty and ungracious man. He is also racist, so why would Mr. Lewis have attended his inauguration or State of the Union speeches? ‘It is what it is,’ Pres Trump 🧐🧐🧐

Chief ' PETTY ' officer

I have an idea; how about none of us give a shit about what this human garbage pile thinks? About this, or anything else. We know everything we need to know to vote in November - Let's all stay focused on that.

Ever the petty and disrespectful abomination that he is RestinPowerJohnLewis

How low can he go?

Appalling.

Dude clearly has Borderline personality syndrome... the pinnacle of toxic narcisissm. He only remembers when someone transgresses against him, he can't maintain any long term relationship (look at his cabinet), and takes credit for anything good / forces all blame onto others.

Shameful

This was a no win situation for the President!

Trump: I'm mad at him because he didn't come to my party What a child.

realDonaldTrump is a tiny orange mushroom.

While wishing an indicted serial sexual predator well for the second time in the same interview. Let’s not leave out that point.

He has not done more for black America than the guy who literally was a leader of the civil rights movement. This man needs to be voted out. Absolute disgrace to America

What a pathetic little man. Holed up in his lair, nursing his grievances, he descends further into the misery he has created for himself.

He’s a sick sick mf

'It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.' Why would John Lewis come to your opening party when he'd known for years you were a destroyer of black souls? Did you not then prove him correct? And what is one flop party missed in a lifetime full of courage and sacrifice?Big baby.

The responses of an emotional toddler.

Lmao what a bitch ass joke

Look at the cold, hard economic data. President Trump is right.

What a small petty man

Such a petty little male because he certainly isn’t a man.

Like saving Confederate statues?

He refuses to praise, or acknowledge John Lewus’lifw work, but wishes a suspected sex trafficker well and he’s concerned she may die in jail. Logic, right?

quid pro quo

How hasn't he choked on that who yet?

What a petty, sad, old man. Too bad he doesn't even understand that the only people that will come to his funeral are the grifters hanging on to their sycophancy. Sigh..

sad old fool.

He sinks to new lows day after day. A complete disgrace.

I mean Ion think anyone wanted him at the funeral anyway. However, based on the headline, his reason for not wanting to go is pretty petty

John Lewis was mostly a celebrity. He was in Congress forever and what exactly did he accomplish? LBJ did a lot more than Trump but what concrete thing did John Lewis accomplish in his 4 decades in Washington?

Why?

No shame whatsoever. Complete narcissist.

Well, he didn't come to MY party, so I'm not gonna say anything nice bout him! So there!

realDonaldTrump

Does this mean that if I die he won't come to my funeral as I didn't go to his inauguration? Aw Donny, you can't slide down my cellar door, for we won't be friends anymore.....

Petty petty old man

What a childish thing to say.... I didn't know he was in elementary school. He, and a lot of other people didn't go to his inauguration despite the claims of an unprecedented crowd that wasn't

TRUMP has done more for blacks than all the black congress combined.

Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

What a bitter and sad person realDonaldTrump is. I know 5 year olds with better people skills

Sad man and bad President. Time for change. Vote Biden

How is this bs news?

John Lewis parlayed being around great people four or five decades ago into a permanent seat in the house and then sat around with his thumb up his ass calling everybody a racist. There was nothing to praise

Another level of assholery..but of course, we’re all glad he wasn’t there.

Gotta love this new tone. He really has turned the corner and become presidential. Susan Collins was right - he's certainly grown as a person from impeachment.

Why should be praise a man who constantly called him a racist? You people are absurd

I have words. But they are all bad and include colorful invective.

This man is truly delusional!!!

All you Trump haters will have to get used to Trump eventually being the president with the most published books about him... more than Lincoln....because it will take volumes to cover all the crap he's shit upon this country.

And he should have rose to a level that's just above a spoiled adult brat!!

Such a baby

Donald Trump is a blatant liar. He has done nothing for Black Americans or any other minority. He and his corrupt administration only make everything harder and much more expensive with their unending greed. They have been busy filling their own pockets, and telling more lies.

NARCISSISTIC baby

What a prat.

He didn't 'criticize' him, come on.🙄

The man has NO redeeming qualities!! A Narcissist and Egomaniac.

absolutely correct. John Lewis should have been there.

The man is a mucking foron. We need to 86 45!

monster

textiff 'He didn't come to my inauguration,” Trump said. “He should've come.” Because all that ever matters to him is his fragile, warped ego. Nothing else exists in the world.

You really need to stop taking your news out of context. It's beneath you. I listened back in 80s with Cokie, Susan, real journalism--is this why Pelosi included you in pandemic funding? Shame NPR!

Give us a list of concrete examples.

Genuine answers only please: if you’re African American, how do you feel about Trump saying he’s done more for you? As a White person, I’m insulted that he would say this

What an idiot!

BabyMan presidunceFUBAR

Sad

i feel ya donny. my beloved grandmother didn’t come to watch me at the Regional Spelling Bee back in 2002... fortunately I was 13 by the time she died, so i had developed the maturity to not bring it up at the funeral.

Small mind. Big pout.

I pretty much laughed through the whole interview. He’s a idiot joke. The world is laughing at him.

A face only a mother could—oh, wait

IKR 👊🏻

Neither did Putin.

Well as long as Trump doesn't criticize him for skipping the next one.

realDonaldTrump is correct again! JohnLewis past great accomplishments doesn't change that he hung around too long and was a political hack at the end. No need to pretend he likes John Lewis, John Lewis hated him despite what trump has done for POC.

The petulant child speaks.

What makes realDonaldTrump sad are not his words. They are what they are. His motivations don’t matter either. His station in our history shames and stains what we stand for together as a people.

Trump is beyond petty and a liar! He has done NOTHING for Black Americans! Nothing!!!!!! Just spreading hate and divisiveness.

The petulance 🤦🏻‍♀️

petty toosoon

He's such a little b

Pathetic little man.

petty

Truly repulsive

Pathetic child....

Beyond parody, deteriorating into a sick and pathetic joke.

Yup, Trump and his father have done more than anybody else to screw and rob black renters.

What a petty, small man. By that reasoning almost no one should attend Trump's funeral.

Hey Rump, I know this is a difficult concept to grasp but. Doing things TO them is not the same as doing things FOR them. I know, I'm asking you too much to understand it but baby steps... Sorry LARVA steps. I forgot you're not human, sorry.

Yep, he’s done more to promote continued racist actions to people of color. Job well done!

Black Americans:

John Lewis is a hero. He was right to boycott 45’s inauguration. He knew then that BozoTrump would disgrace this great country. He knew that 45 was PutinsPuppet from the beginning. He knew TrumpIsALaughingStock John Lewis knew TrumpIsACompleteFailure

Rep. Lewis called Trump a racist on more than one occasion and boycotted his inauguration. It's unreasonable to expect Trump to supinely just accept this treatment. That Republicans do so too much is exactly why Trump is in the White House. He talks back.

Can we just set him adrift in the ocean when he's ousted from office?

Malignant narcissist

He’s pathetic

Of course! EVERYTHING is ALWAYS about HIM!

Ew. He’s a gross person. Miserable and small.

Congressman Lewis called Trump 'illegitimate' which seems to be an astute observation to me.

Trump has one principle. It's all about him. Everything. Always and forever. Amen.

King Petty

This guy takes the word „Narcissist” down to a brand new level.

Krabby Petty

Where is the unemployment relief package? realDonaldTrump senatemajldr

Trump is fecal matter. 🖕

What a petty, INSECURE, pathetic man. Such a waste of humanity. And I'm trying to put this as politely and kindly as I can. To quote him.. 'SAD!'

he has dementia

'Cause it's all about me. LOL!!

President Trump has my vote 👍

Anything going on with negotiations between the White House and Schumer/Pelosi about legislation to help Americans cope with being out of work? That is real news; this post is old ladies' gossip.

charlesadler Yeah, he’s done more damage than anyone else 🤦🏻‍♀️

Incompetent and petty. Shocker.

He’s pitiful

The great one

Better call the waaaambulance!!

Lewis got beat up by Democrats before civil rights were voted into law mainly because I’d republicans then sold his soul to the devil when he switched to democrat party and got rich while his voters suffered

Petty little man.

Just so unbelievable it's funny.

😂😂😂🤣

Because attending the inauguration of the work’s leading racist would have done so much for the black community.

TrumpMantra

His Royal Prickness

I bet he does n't go to Biden's inauguration.

Trump2020

A federal mandate is needed directly from the President , to show the seriousness of wearing a mask and social distancing are in slowing down the pandemic's death march . He has yet to step up an do this, why not ?

Some of the most disrespectful, outrageous lies ever spoken.

He’s an immoral failure who should be removed from office as he exploits the vulnerable and suffering

What a BIG piece of s&%$!!!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Donald Trump is a petulant egomaniac.

What a repulsive entity he is.
