“I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” Mr. Trump said, referring to news coverage of the rally date. “It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.”

My positively white bread bank that won’t close for MLK Day is suddenly closing today.

2. "No one has ever done so much for black poeple as I have."

"I made their little nothing holiday that no one ever heard of before into a major celebration. You're welcome!"

He is as stupid as he is insane.

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Shut up. Shut Up! JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, PLEASE!

[sop]

10. The entire country collectively becomes more stupid every time this imbecile opens his mouth.

5. Of course

old great wise man of the universe. Sheesh his neediness is just revolting.

6. Insane Moron

Is Crazy Stupid.

He forgets that other people have working memories, many of whom also are capable “readers.”

[nolabear]

7. Well he's done one thing. I have NEVER cried out "JESUS CHRIST!" So much before.

[irisblue]

15. Almost every morning, BBC Overnight Service US says something about him

and "F that guy" is the thought I have

[demmiblue]

8. "Mr. Trump said he polled many people around him, none of whom had heard of Juneteenth."

"Mr. Trump said he polled many people around him, none of whom had heard of Juneteenth." He finally heard from a black Secret Service agent what the date meant.

20. My thoughts exactly.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. My guess: First time he heard of it was when Miller or other Nazi suggested it for his KKK rally.

[StarfishSaver]

31. Whenever he says "nobody knew," it's a tell

It means HE didn't know

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. I can't understand that level of narcissism and self-delusion

How has he survived this long? It has to be dangerous being so self-centered as to think he knows everything, yet so self-deluded that when he does learn something new, he immediately claims credit for its discovery.

12. Wait, what?

[TxVietVet]

13. tRump💩 has me now screaming

Stupid MFs for hours

[C_U_L8R]

14. What's next? Hitler claims credit for D-Day?

Or does vanity-case Trump want to be congratulated for that too?? !!

[LakeVermilion]

26. Or perhaps

The beautiful cemeteries in France.

[brewens]

16. Ya know, he's got a point there, but not in the positive way he thinks. There are in fact a great

many people hearing more about the Tulsa massacre now thanks to him. It was in the news because of BLM, but his idiocy has amplified that considerably

[sop]

17. Someone should tell Trump Festivus is a real thing so he can take credit for it, too.

[crickets]

28. Nono! The Airing of Grievances would never end!

[Initech]

18. I really just want him to shut up for about a week.

Hell I'd rather he shut up as long as coronavirus lingers in the air.

[gratuitous]

19. Now, now, Trump isn't saying he's the greatest champion of civil rights (even though he is)

But it's amazing how much he knows about history and civil rights and stuff. Why, before Trump came along, nobody knew who Frederick Douglass was or what Juneteenth meant. Did any of you know there was a Civil Rights Act passed way back in the 1960s? Bet you didn't! That will be Needy Amin's next great discovery.

[greatauntoftriplets]

21. I've known about Juneteenth for a long time.

It was news to him.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. You And 180 Million Other People

So, other than 180 million people, nobody ever heard of it.

[smirkymonkey]

22. Ugh!

I just can't today.

[MoonchildCA]

23. He polled many people around him?

Well, when you surround yourself with ill-informed, racist sycophants, what do you expect?

[yellowcanine]

24. Trump Derangement Syndrome...

[jcgoldie]

25. Sometimes I think the entire country is on candid camera...

...because nobody could possibly be this much of a DICK.

[NurseJackie]

30. TRANSLATIONS: When he says "Nobody had ever heard of it" it really means "I had never heard of it"

TRANSLATIONS:

"Nobody had ever heard of it" = "I had never heard of it"

"A lot of people don't know that" = "I didn't know that"

[lunatica]

32. Ike Turner liked to brag that if he hadn't beaten and raped Tina Turner

she would have never left and become a Superstar. He took credit for that, saying he “made” Tina, and that none of us would even know about her if it wasn’t for him.

I do believe Ike was a Malignant Narcissist too.

[Cha]

34. Fucking Narcissist personality Disordered FUBARED ASSHOLE

[malaise]

35. Of course nobody heard of it because African Americans don't count

Keep exposing yourself you racist piece of shit
