Twitler's statement at MLK memorial today:

Daniel Dale ✔ @ddale8 (Toronto Star)

Per the pool reporter, here’s what Trump said during a visit of “approximately two minutes” to the MLK memorial in Washington: “Good morning, everybody. Great day. Beautiful day. Thank you for being here. Appreciate it."

People are not at the MLK Memorial to pay homage to Trump.

Trump wil not have much named for him once he is removed from office. Like Pres. Obama will. A Garbage Dump maybe because that is what he peddled during his time in office....GARBAGE.

Trump couldn't have been more obvious in his disrespectful 2 minute photo op that made no mention of MLK or the purpose of the National day of remembrance to enshrine his efforts to change the country.
