This tiny bit that the media played was taken way out of context. The museum he was talking about had just opened a Frederick Douglass exhibition.
No. It was clear he had no idea who Frederick Douglass was other than some black person that might've had something to do with civil rights. You may as well just own it

Yeah, but they probably won't pretend like they know who he was. Nor are they president of the United States, much less a class president

And nobody is outraged. It's par for the course.
He's going to say stuff like this every day. I'm already numb to it.

Trump could have said Frederick Douglass was his favorite player from the 1997 Chicago White Sox and obama would have said, "yea, mine too."

The outrage is because it's just something Trump said. He could've made comments saying he's going to disperse his earnings to all the protestors and they'd be outraged over that as well.
It is indeed at that point.

I've still yet to see a clear answer as to why you libs are upset? What specifically did he say?

Who's upset? Link? I just think it's funny.

The libs are upset because they demand that their president at least take the job seriously enough to not act like an ignorant person over something so simple.

I remember when that dumbass obama stumbled and bumbled over that one too. This post was edited on 2/1/17 at 10:29 pm

Whatever it was Trump should have just said "sorry bruh, no Black History month at Wharton in 1968".

Is this real fricking life?
The amount of deflection in this thread is fricking scary.

Nothing, its the media piggy backing off of significant historical figures and their accomplishments to create political drama. Literally no one is off limits. They will stoop to the lowest of all lows for a political jab and its disgusting.

If labescaster didn't know who Frederick Douglass was, I'd make fun of her in public and make her cry, so in that context, I'm goddamn outraged and melting super hard, but I don't think the GDP will be affected, so I'll just call this a kayfabe controversy. He made a mockery of something he shouldn't have made a mockery of, but m'eh.

Yeah. That was pretty obvious. He did say he is a good guy, really, really good guy, and getting more and more and more recognition.
You're being purposely obtuse...you really must hate yourself...or something.

I hope Trump shows up with a living man actually named Frederick Douglas at his next press conference and says, "Frederick Douglas everyone. You can all see how great of a man he is, such recognition."
