[quoteWell this is Black History Month, so this is our little breakfast, our little get-together. Hi Lynn, how are you? Just a few notes. During this month, we honor the tremendous history of African-Americans throughout our country. Throughout the world, if you really think about it, right? And their story is one of unimaginable sacrifice, hard work, and faith in Americ[/quote]

Again, Trump says " just a few notes" before making some comments. That's it. My point is, I don't think those in attendance were expecting a detailed speech about Black History Month. They were invited there to discuss issues, just like Trump had done with small business leaders, auto industry leaders, etc. the liberals' collective heads are exploding because they are saying he passed on giving a proper speech and instead talked about himself, etc.
that's fake news. It's not what happened here.

The twitter universe et al, is going crazy over Trump's comments about Douglass, MLK, Black History month, etc.
Myself, I think this is being blown way out of proportion. I tried to search the news to find the "real" story. But that's proving too difficult. The media bias is flooding the search results, repeating the same narrative.
My thoughts on this : ( please correct any "alternative facts" ; I'm piecing this together from bits I've picked up, and there's conjecture also.


Most people I know are stuck on the fact that he turned the whole thing into a conversation abot the evil media and his feeling persecuted. Guy is such a narcissist that he turned praise for black leaders into a crybaby session about himself. Nothing nee
