31. I'm surprised that he didn't ask why we don't have a White History Month.

"Well, this is Black History Month, so this is our little breakfast, our little get together. Hey, do we have a White History Month? I don't know if we have one or not but if we don't, we should. We should have one. It would be great. Really great. White History Month. We should have one of those."

Leave it to Trump to make Black History Month all about him. His speech is so insulting that I don't even know where to start. He might as well have come out and said "Well, this is Black History Month so, to all my Nazi and KKK supporters out there, I really don't want to do this but I have an obligation to give a speech. I have to do this because I'm important. Really important. Love the Nazis and the KKK. They're doing a lot of great work. Really great work."

Also noteworthy in his completely reprensible speech was the failure to even MENTION the first black President. But hey, that's not important. What's important is that CNN sucks and Fox treats Trump nice. Very nice.

As for his statement that he's "proud to honor this heritage and will be honoring it more and more." Please don't. Stop while you're behind. You've done enough "honoring" of Black History Month to last a lifetime.
