'I think I've done more for the Black community than any other president, and let's take a pass on Abraham Lincoln,' Trump said, weeks after the death of George Floyd in police custody.

President Donald Trump said that while President Abraham Lincoln — who freed Blacks from slavery during the Civil War while also saving the Union — did some good, the "end result" is "always questionable."

Trump's interview came nearly three weeks after the death of a black man, George Floyd, after a white Minneapolis cop kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes ignited protests nationwide. Trump's bizarre comment about his fellow Republican came during an interview with Fox News' Harris Faulkner, in which the president saidany other president, with the possible exception of Lincoln.

JonathanLanday 🤣🤣😂😂 the brazenness, the brazenness of Trump and his entourage!! Aren't people waking up by now? do Americans really want to deliver democracy and our Constitution on a silver plate to this chronically lying and corrupt individual?

Can you please just report on business news, your lib BS is hard to read. Thank you!

Law & Order ♥️🇺🇸

What is ignorantly trying to deflect responsibility

I watched the interview. Trump was being honest. Questionable refers to the end result. Could have we just freed the slaves without so much bloodshed and war in the end? That’s what he’s trying to say.

How can he compare his record to Lincoln. Lincoln freed them from slavery, gave the voting rights, encourage blacks to run for congress. He could of done more, but he was assassinated.

He's saying the 'results were questionable' the results were the abolition of slavery and defeat of the south. He's questioning abolition. It's not exactly subtle.

Trump has done a lot more for Black America than even abama did.

No one on earth believes that Obama is a republican. Obama would have 0 chance to be a US president if he were a republican. Republicans have treated the African origins not thing more than ___. Trump is the liar, and he has been lying all his life to support his family.

Lincoln is the new Obama?

Corruption racism a powerful few get to say when something earned or not set the yardsticks we go by. Its time we legislate those yardsticks not allow a few to arbitrarily set them for their own gain wages grades benefits. Stats say grades and wages manipulated

He fixed the economy and cured the pandemic too, right? 😏

Here he is telling one of his close friends all about his Abraham Lincoln theories, maybe.

The man is not fit to be President and this is example No. 47388926291926

Lowest black unemployment in history — First Step Act — much more than Obama did, that’s for sure

Americans shifting on racism yet Trump digs in: NYT.Morning_Joe discusses NYTimes reporting on how Americans are shifting on racism, while 'Trump’s inability to demonstrate empathy illustrates the limitations of his political arsenal.' Morning_Joe Trump is who he has always been... a raging racist, zenophobe, misogynist, wannabe dictator, self-serving bully and pathological liar. Those who support this man are no better and are guilty of turning their back on the people and the country. Morning_Joe His political arsenal is limited? Yes, by his inherent personal limitations. You can’t be a leader if you despise those you’re supposed to lead. Nor if you cannot relate to the reality of their lives. Morning_Joe And he can't pretend because he has no idea what empathy is. It's part of his pathology.
