Trump Completely Ignores MLK Day While Obama Shows How a Real President Honors the Civil Rights Leader

BY ANDREA JEFFERSON
JANUARY 20, 2020

Former President Barack Obama marked Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a tweet on Monday honoring the slain civil rights leader for his “poetic brilliance” and “moral clarity.”

Of course this is completely opposite of what Donald Trump did…which is nothing.

“Every so often, I re-read Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Obama wrote. “While some of the injustices may have changed, his poetic brilliance, moral clarity, and tests of conscience still reverberate today.”

“Take a moment to reflect on his righteous call,” he added in the message to his 112 million followers. His tweet also featured a link to a copy of the roughly 7,000-word letter King wrote from a jail in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963 that was published online by The Atlantic.

So what is current president Donald Trump doing to celebrate the day?

Nothing.

Take a look at Trump’s schedule for the day:
