Trump signs MLK Jr. proclamation amid cries of racism
CNN, Jan 12, 2018, Allie Malloy

Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump signed a proclamation Friday declaring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, one day after making disparaging comments about Haiti and African countries.

"Today we celebrate Dr. King for standing up for the self-evident truth Americans hold so dear, that no matter the color of our skin, or the place of our birth we are all created equal by God," Trump said Friday ahead of the signing.

King's nephew, Isaac Newton Farris Jr., also spoke at the event about his uncle's legacy.  "If my uncle were here today, the first thing he would say is, what are we or what are you doing for others?" Farris asked.

Several African-American leaders and Trump supporters were present at the event, including former Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, as well as Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.

Excellent!  We're going to get a lot of butt-hurt mileage out of that sh*thole comment.   :laugh:
