Trump Misses The Point Of MLKs Life And Shows Why He'll Be A Presidential Disaster

Source: PoliticusUSA, by Jason Easley

With a single tweet about Martin Luther King, Donald Trump revealed why he is going to be a disaster of a president.

Trump tweeted:

Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), who marched with King, reminded everyone what we are remembering today:

Donald Trump completely missed the point of Dr. King’s life and work. Trump loves to claim that he is leading a movement, but the president-elect has confused a movement with an egocentric cult of personality. Trump isn’t leading a movement because intellectually incapable of thinking in the terms needed to lead a group of people.

How Trump interpreted the life of Dr. King speaks volumes about the kind of president he will be. Donald Trump will never govern for all Americans. Trump can’t see America. All Donald Trump can see is his own power and interests, and this fatal flaw is why he is destined to fail as president.

He isn't interested in other people or what their lives meant or stood for. I would think Trump couldn't pass a 3rd grade quiz about Martin Luther King, Jr.

His tweet about MLK only is more evidence that the man (Trump) has no depth.
