You didn’t allow black people into your hotel: Twitter slams Trump for thinking he has the African American vote in the bag
On Monday, users on Twitter slammed President Donald Trump after he claimed that he is more progressive than 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden.
In an attempt to positively pit himself against Biden, Trump claimed that he was the better candidate for African American voters because he approved of the 2018 criminal justice reform bill, while Biden helped pass the 1994 crime act.
However, people reminded Trump of his dark past and noted that at one point Trump didn’t even allow African Americans into his hotels. He has also been associated with exploiting and threatening the five young minority men involved in the Central Park 5 case.

Thousands of kids have been stolen from their parents with no plan in place to reunite them, and at least 6 kids have died in U.S custody.

I’m not so sure black people are gonna be “ble” to vote for you either. They tend to hate White Nationalists.

Your presidency is the dark period we are going through, now. Soon the clouds will break, you will no longer be president, and Americans will be able to work together to fix the vast damage you have inflicted on our country.

What is hypocrisy? The guy who called for the lynching of 5 Black teens & still won’t accept their exonerations, urged police to use *more excessive force, & wants the death penalty for drug sale, lecturing anyone on criminal justice policy. pic.twitter.com/jueuDJ8A0Z

U.S. Congressman Steve King, a nine-term Republican of Iowa, has just lost his primary to a GOP challenger. It's a huge fall from grace: In 2014 The Des Moines Register labeled the former earth-moving company founder a "presidential kingmaker."
But his racist, white nationalist, white supremacist, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic, biphobic remarks and disturbing ties to far right radical European politicians – including one he endorsed who has ties to a neo-Nazi, finally caught up with him.

When the president’s son-in-law truly was a great success
For many Americans, the idea of the president tasking his son-in-law with solving national, even international, crises, seems problematic, if not absurd. But it happened once before and turned out to be the kind of “great success story” our current first family wants us to believe in again. Slightly over a century ago, as the US mobilized for the First World War, the nation faced devastating breakdowns of its financial and transport systems. In response, President Woodrow Wilson leaned heavily on his talented and experienced Treasury Secretary, William McAdoo, who just happened to be his son-in-law. Looking back at this episode tells us a lot about what makes for successful emergency management at the highest levels of government.

Here are 7 ways Donald Trump is just like Henry Ford — and why that’s not good for American democracy
On May 21, speaking at the Ford Motor Company’s Rawsonville plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Donald Trump paid his latest homage to Henry Ford, lauding the family’s “good bloodlines” with Ford’s great grandson sitting in the front row.
Ford, like Trump, was obsessed with bloodlines—with the idea that race and genetic origins determined who counted as the “best people.”
