The fact that Trump's jaw-dropping assertion that he's done more for African Americans than any president with the possible exception of Lincoln as just Trump shows just How Far We've descended as a country. Leave aside the notion of whether or not Trump is racist or not (though he obviously is). The fact that someone could make such a megalomaniac statement while still sitting in the Oval Office and 45% of Americans just shrug or nod their heads in agreement is - - - mind-blowing and utterly disappointing at the same time.
This statement is aimed at his base and not African Americans.
This is true, but it's still an outrageous claim to make.
And it also demonstrates how mind-numbingly ignorant Trump is about American history, and history in general. Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and even Presidents such as Ulysses S. Grant have done more for black Americans than Trump.
