President Trump attacked the Rev. Al Sharpton on Monday as “a con man” and someone who “Hates Whites & Cops,” just hours before Sharpton was scheduled to hold a news conference in Baltimore to decry Trump’s derogatory weekend tweets directed at the city and an African American congressman.

Sharpton, a former Democratic presidential candidate and MSNBC talk-show host, is scheduled to appear in Baltimore alongside Michael Steele, who formerly chaired the Republican National Committee and served as Maryland’s lieutenant governor.

The two plan to address “Trump’s remarks and bipartisan outrage in the black community,” according to an advisory

“I have known Al for 25 years,” Trump said in a morning tweet. He said the two “always got along well” and attended boxing matches together.

“He would ask me for favors often,” Trump said. “Al is a con man, a troublemaker, always looking for a score. Just doing his thing. Must have intimidated Comcast/NBC. Hates Whites & Cops!”

Trump says I’m a troublemaker & con man. I do make trouble for bigots. If he really thought I was a con man he would want me in his cabinet.

6. He uses these tactics to redirect attention away from really bad issues

Like his Epstein and Putin ties, and his taxes, and how Mueller testified he and Barr lied all along about his findings. He also knows his base will be incited with the racial issues. And attacks, and will run away when he's exposed with Epstein for being involved with a child sex ring , and bribing Putin to help him get elected. He did this to Hillary too. He doesn't want to talk policy because of his ignorance would be exposed for all to see.

7. "Con man, troublemaker, hates whites...."

...and one of my best friends for 25 years. We always got along well and I did favors for him.

On the other hand, he barely knew Michael Flynn, Jeff Epstein, and Paul Manafort, but they were great guys.

If Trump says it, believe the opposite.
