TEXT: "Ben Carson has been my friend since the first day we met," Trump says.

Except, erm, for that one time when Trump compared Carson to a child molester.


Trump likens Carson's 'pathology' to that of a child molester

(WaPo) "A character calling himself 'Michael the Black Man' has appeared in the crowd directly behind Donald Trump, impossible to miss and prompting widespread fascination...He holds signs that scream 'BLACKS FOR TRUMP' and wears a T-shirt proclaiming with equal conviction that 'TRUMP & Republicans Are Not Racist.'

"The radical fringe activist from Miami once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult, and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites. He has called Barack Obama 'The Beast' and Hillary Clinton a Ku Klux Klan member. Oprah Winfrey, he says, is the devil. Most curiously, in the 1990s, he was charged, then acquitted, with conspiracy to commit two murders. But Michael the Black Man loves President Trump."

So I guess the emancipation proclamation is nothing.
Eisenhower desegregating the military is nothing
The Civil rights act from Kennedy and Johnson is nothing
And President Obama being the first black President has not been a source of pride for black Americans is nothing

What has MF45 done?........Crickets


The only thing he has done is raise white supremacy and he thinks that’s a good thing for Black Americans? I DON’T THINK SO!

Zoom in on their faces. They all look like they just figured out that they're props for Dump's desperate attempt to retool his floundering campaign using his great ideas to solve race issues.

Either that or someone has really bad gas. Probably Dumpus, after eating all that fast food and sucking down Diet Coke.
