<\/a>By Maya J. Carter<\/strong><\/p>\nHere we go again. The Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump has stated IT yet again, and since he repeats IT so tremendously much, IT must be true. And we should all be beholden to his benevolent words.<\/p>\n
Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump was recently interviewed by Axios\u2019 Jonathan Swan, aired on HBO. During the discussion of a number of pressing issues currently facing the country, he was asked about his relationship with the late Congressman John Lewis. I would be remiss to misquote any of his stupendous words, so please allow me to present a portion of the interview to you unfiltered.<\/p>\n
JS: John Lewis is laying in state in the US Capitol. How do you think history will remember John Lewis?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: I don\u2019t know. I really don\u2019t know. Uh, I don\u2019t know. Uh, I don\u2019t know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my, uh ah, inauguration. Uh, he chose, uh, I\u2026I don\u2019t\u2026uh, I never met John Lewis actually, I don\u2019t believe.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: Do you find him impressive?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: [smacks lips] Ahhhhh\u2026[sniff] I can\u2019t say one way or the other. I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive, but, no, but I didn\u2019t go\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: Do find his story impressive?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: [wide hands] He didn\u2019t come\u2026he didn’t come to my inauguration. He didn\u2019t come to my State of the Union speeches, and that\u2019s okay. That\u2019s his right. And, again, nobody has done more\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: Right\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: \u2026for the Black Americans than I have.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n And there IT is again. Let me repeat that phenomenal statement – \u201cNobody has done more for the Black Americans than I have.\u201d The big, beautiful bold assertion that so readily flows out of the Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump\u2019s grand facial orifice which transmits big, beautiful words. All the best words. Who could argue with the man who says \u201cI have a great relationship with the Blacks,\u201d (April 2011) and has \u201ctremendous African-American support\u201d – all 8% of the African American vote in 2016?<\/p>\n Well, let us take a moment to reflect upon some of the other big, beautiful best words he has shared about Black Americans over the past few years. I will not delve too far into the past, because I would not wish to \u201caccidentally\u201d contradict such imposing words. I mean, why rehash any of the various statements made by him during the Justice Department 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company and his refusal to lease to African American tenants, or his call to bring back the death penalty for the later exonerated Central Park Five, or even his pitch for airing a season of the Apprentice in 2005 where he would pit a team of successful African American contestants against a team of successful whites? These examples would be frankly unnecessary and do not support his supposition, thus are to be forgotten and shall forever disappear miraculously in an imaginary void, much like he says about the coronavirus. Instead, let us focus on the following statements, listed in no particular order, because they are all equally impressive and should support his declaration, right? Let us travel down memory lane.<\/p>\n About President Barack Obama – \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t he show his birth certificate? There\u2019s something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like. (March 23, 2011) \u201cI have people that have been studying [Obama\u2019s birth certificate] and they cannot believe what they\u2019re finding \u2026 I would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can I be honest with you, I hope he can. Because if he can\u2019t, if he can\u2019t, if he wasn\u2019t born in this country, which is a real possibility \u2026 then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics.\u201d (April 7, 2011) Since then, the Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump has said that our first African American President of the United States was indeed born in this country, although through to at least 2017, still pushed the birtherism conspiracy theory. He has also deflected his role in perpetuating the conspiracy, once blaming the belief on the Hillary Clinton campaign.<\/p>\n About voting for him in 2016 – \u201cIt\u2019s just, like, a total catastrophe, the unemployment rates, everything is bad \u2014 no health care, no education, no anything, no anything. And poverty is unbelievable. Then, I said, \u2018Hey, wait a minute, vote for me. What have you got to lose? You can’t do worse, you can’t do any worse than what these people have been doing and I will do better.\u201d (August 21, 2016) Well, who can argue with that? Certainly not me, because before he came along, apparently I had \u201cno anything\u201d!<\/p>\n Describing attendees at one of his fantabulous rallies – \u201cWe had a great event yesterday, an event that was so beautiful, young African American leaders. One of the things I asked them, and I\u2019ve been thinking about this for a long time\u2026 And great people, great people. Some of them are here tonight. Do you like the name African American or Black? And they said, \u201cBlack!\u201d all at the same time. No, true. I tell you. Because you say, \u201cAfrican American or Black?\u201d And they said almost immediately, \u201cBlack.\u201d\u2019 (February 28, 2020) Well, if he says they say so! African American people are a supposed monolith now, I am to believe.<\/p>\n He has spoken the kindest words of support about various African American White House correspondents, especially female reporters including April Ryan, Abby Phillip and Yamiche Alcindor. For example, one of his gems of a compliment – \u201cYou talk about someone who\u2019s a loser. She doesn\u2019t know what the hell she\u2019s doing. She gets publicity and then she gets a pay raise, or she gets a contract with, I think, CNN. But she\u2019s very nasty and shouldn\u2019t be. You\u2019ve got to treat the White House and the office of the presidency with respect.\u201d (November 2018) And, when he was asked during a press conference about labeling himself as a \u201cnationalist\u201d and whether it is \u201cemboldening white nationalists\u201d, his wonderful reply – \u201cI don’t know why you say that, that\u2019s such a racist question.\u201d But\u2026but, he also has stated – \u201cA globalist is a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly, not caring about our country so much. And you know what? We can\u2019t have that. \u2026You know, they have a word \u2013 it\u2019s sort of became old-fashioned \u2013 it\u2019s called a nationalist. And I say, really, we\u2019re not supposed to use that word. You know what I am? I\u2019m a nationalist, okay? I\u2019m a nationalist. Nationalist. Nothing wrong. Use that word. Use that word.\u201d (October 22, 2018) He had also addressed African American female reporters with the utmost respect – \u201cSit down! I didn\u2019t call on you. Such a hostile media, it\u2019s so sad,\u201d he once said after being asked about voter suppression during the midterms. (November 2018) Isn\u2019t he precious?<\/p>\n About NFL players kneeling in support a movement sparked by Colin Kaepernick who protests the national anthem during games – \u201cWouldn\u2019t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, \u2018Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He\u2019s fired. He\u2019s fired!\u2019\u201d (September 22, 2017) Is he upset because of his failed entr\u00e9e into the NFL? I do not think so, and there is no need for further comment. [sweeping under the rug and moving on]<\/p>\n About peaceful protesters expressing their first amendment rights via glorious tweet – “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!” (May 29, 2020) Because this is no way has any equivalence to remarks made by Walter Headley who in the 1960s was a sheriff in the Miami Police Department and added to the racial unrest in the city during that era. And he likes to toss out the word \u201cthugs\u201d to describe folks, but to whom is he referring? Definitely not Black Americans.<\/p>\n On scheduling a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Juneteenth – “I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous. It\u2019s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.\u201d (June 19, 2020) You see, his royalness is merely educating us about African American history – although many, many people have known about the commemoration of the end of slavery on June 19, 1895. Not to mention hosting a rally in the very city of one of the most brutal terroristic acts upon a community of African Americans referred to as the Tulsa Massacre. But that is not the point. He merely wanted to express his joy! “The fact that I’m having a rally on that day — you can really think about that very positively as a celebration. Because a rally to me is a celebration. It’s an interesting date. It wasn’t done for that reason, but it’s an interesting date.\u201d<\/p>\n And who can forget his statement [definitely not] of support for White Nationalist protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia protesting the removal of a statue of a Confederate leader – “Excuse me, excuse me. They didn\u2019t put themselves — and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.\u201d (August 15, 2017) Well, we know very well there is no moral equivalency here, even if one of those very fine people killed a peaceful counterprotester.<\/p>\n Oh, and he retweeted a video and expressed gratitude to some of his ardent supporters. \u201cThank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!” (June 29, 2020) That was very nice, even if the supporter in the video was chanting \u201cWhite Power!\u201d No worries though, that tweet only stayed up on Twitter for 3 hours while he golfed.<\/p>\n And with regard to Bubba Wallace, an African American NASCAR driver who furthered efforts to ban the Confederate flag at NASCAR events, who was informed that there was a possible noose hanging in his racing garage, later found to be a \u201cgarage door pull\u201d by the FBI, the Dear Leader tweeted, \u201cHas @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!\u201d (July 6, 2020) No mention of how that garage door pull looked.<\/p>\n The Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump has stated he has done more for the Black American than anyone else. I cannot recall, but was he the one that referred to New York City\u2019s painting \u2018Black Lives Matter\u2019 on Fifth Avenue in front of Trump Tower a \u201csymbol of hate\u2019? (July 1, 2020) I again cannot recall, but was he the same one that stated about the Confederate flag – \u201cIt depends on who you\u2019re talking about, when you\u2019re talking about. When people proudly had their Confederate flags they\u2019re not talking about racism. They love their flag, it represents the South. They like the South … I say it\u2019s freedom of many things, but it\u2019s freedom of speech.\u201d (July 19, 2020) He did later go on to say Black Lives Matter was freedom of speech after public outcry.<\/p>\n The Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump has asserted that he had done more for the Black American, and recounts his vast contributions including creation of opportunity zones, funding for historically Black colleges and universities, lowering rates of unemployment, and sponsoring anemic criminal justice reform. No other prior President has done any of those mighty things \u2026 except maybe a few, including his predecessor in the Oval Office, the target of his birther conspiracy. The Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump most certainly did more in his opinion than President Lincoln who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, and President John F. Kennedy who proposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and President Lyndon B. Johnson who pushed it to House and Senate and later signed it into law after President Kennedy\u2019s assassination. And obviously more than abolitionists, a multitude of civil rights leaders who paid in blood, sweat and tears to fight for equality, and African Americans ourselves. There are other examples, but I we must only focus on contributions by The Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump, because he said IT, and his words are trustworthy, even his 20,000+ documented lies and falsehoods.<\/p>\n I would be remiss, as a lifelong Black American, to not thank him for all he has said and done for us Black Americans. Without his superb words of support and action, we would have continued racial turmoil, inequality, injustice, or persistent socioeconomic and health disparities. I am so sure that the highly praised civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis who spent his life devoted to justice to the point of personal sacrifice – especially championing the Voting Rights Act, portions of which were repealed by the SCOTUS in 2013 thus contributing to rampant voter suppression efforts by the Dear Leader\u2019s political party – would have been much obliged as well. Even though the Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump \u201cnever met him, I don\u2019t think.\u201d<\/p>\n Getting back to the Axios interview:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: \u2026I understand.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: He should have come. I think he made a big mistake.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: [trying to get a word in after several attempts] But taking your relationship with him out of it, do you find his story impressive? What he\u2019s done for this country?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: He was a person that devoted a lot of energy and a lot of heart to civil rights, but there were many others also.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: There\u2019s a petition to rename the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama as the John Lewis Bridge. Would you support that idea?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: I would\u2026I would have no objection to it if they\u2019d like to do it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n JS: Yes, it\u2019s a good idea\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n DL, HMSP DJT: \u2026would have no objection to it whatsoever.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Seems like he kind of knows about the late Congressman John Lewis. Should we hold the Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump to his word? [AdSense-A] By Maya J. Carter Here we go again. The Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J. Trump has stated IT yet again, and since he repeats IT so tremendously much, IT must be true. And we should all be beholden to his benevolent words. Dear Leader, His Majesty Sir President Donald J.
