He's a fucking white supremacist who will never forgive John Lewis for being right about him and boycotting his inauguration

If he can possibly manage it, Trump would be better off saying nothing.

Most of us as we were growing up might of heard from her parents something along the lines of if you can’t say anything good about someone don’t say anything. Trump’s mantra is if I can’t say something bad about someone I don’t like, don’t say anything as he goes about spending his time manipulating stupid people 24/7. All you need to figure Trump out, is think of all the dirt bag car salesmen you’ve ever met (which are most of them) and that’s Trump.

For Trump to make a statement about John Lewis, he would first have to know who John Lewis was.
For Trump to know who John Lewis was, someone on his staff would have to tell him.
For someone on his staff to tell him, someone on his staff would have to know who John Lewis was.

Ergo--no statement.

Did good things with his life. Donald Trump has done nothing good with his life and his only claim to fame is the biggest national disgrace we’ve ever had as the President. Trump is not worthy of shining John Lewis’s shoes.
