Yesterday, a transcript of Trump's remarks at the Black History Month Breakfast was published and contrasted to the last duly elected president of the republic, President Barack Obama.
I was asked by a few kind DU'ers to post this translation, so without further adieu
Welcome to our "little breakfast." I didn't really want to do this today because to be honest, it's pretty stupid, but they say I have to do this now so I'll go ahead and skim a few notes here and then I'll be getting back to my morning TV, okay? Alright.
OK, here we go.
The blacks love me because even though I am a very great man, I went ahead and let Ben take me to some real shit holes, and I didn't have to go there at all but I did and I went there and I was really uncomfortable you know? - You know what I'm talking about, but now they love me. The Af-ric-an Americans love me now. Ben loves me, so he is a good Negro. Just the best.
Martin Luther King Jr. is a big deal now because of the fake dishonest news press media saying I took his statue out of my office, and now I have to leave it there, can you believe that? With Lincoln and Jefferson and now we have to keep that statue too. Unbelievable. Such a disgrace.
So - I just found out now that we have this whole museum. Smithsonian is a long word, long word, hard to remember but it's on the mall, and I have a list of names for you, this guy Fredrick Doug, . . Douglass . . . never heard of him right?? but now you will because I said him in this speech. And then there's Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman. Okay? I'm probably going to have to do this again next year. (sigh)
But enough about all those folks. Look at all these people here who love me. These are some good Negros folks. Who would have thought a black guy named Paris could love me so much, right? but he's been there at the CNN and I watch him every day but I don't watch the CNN because it's fake news, I mean, every day when I watch it they are just disgraceful towards me it's unbelievable, but Fox News has been pretty nice to me now that they got that Megan Kelly out of there. What was her problem? So thank you Fox wherever you guys are. This is probably your first time at the "little breakfast" too huh? I bet. Just wait. You guys are going to love this. We are really going to roll on these inner cities and crack some heads with the law enforcement. These people gotta learn. Right now they're terrible. We're going to teach them how to behave though. I am going to fix that.
