Trump becomes first president to skip MLK Day proclamation

[TheInfiniteSadness]

gee, maybe they'll only get 7% of the black vote, instead of 9%.

Sheep you should look things up first so you can prevent me from making you look stupid like I'm doing right now.

Black voters also moved to Trump but remained overwhelmingly Democratic.
Trump nearly doubled his support among Black voters between 2020 and 2024: 8% voted for him in 2020 vs. "15% last year." Still, 83% of Black voters backed Harris.

Voting patterns in the 2024 election

Voting patterns among many demographic groups in 2024 were similar to those in 2020 and 2016, but Trump made gains among several key groups, a Pew Research Center analysis shows.

Are you going to lay a wreath on George Washington Day, you ignorant hypocrite?

Why would I lay a wreath for a slave owner?

Because you'd live in a shithole if it weren't for him.

bud, I'm still pissed they combined Feb 12th and Feb 22 for a generic president's day,

I'm pretty sure that will change.

No trash pick up or mail delivery today. Looks like the usual paid day off to honor MLK, so what's the problem SuperMadBro?

You mean you and your racist buddies didn't work today.

From looking at the posts here it's obvious the Sheep can't figure out by doing this trump has cost the Republicans a massive amount of black votes.

Not as long as they have those like Struth.

The Klan will make up the diference.

Donald Trump has become the first U.S. president since Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established to not issue a proclamation honoring the federal holiday, breaking a tradition observed for nearly 40 consecutive years.

At the time of publication, there is no Martin Luther King Jr. Day proclamation from Trump posted on the White House’s official website, its social media accounts, or in the Federal Register. These proclamations are usually signed days in advance of a holiday and even if Trump signed one late, his administration isn’t making the proclamation public in a timely manner. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, Trump is skipping the presidential emphasis on the MLK holiday.

The absence marks a sharp departure not only from presidential precedent dating back to Ronald Reagan, but from Trump’s own first term, during which he issued MLK Day proclamations every year from 2018 through 2021.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan in 1983 and first observed as a federal holiday in 1986. In his 1986 proclamation, Reagan said, “Dr. King's activism was rooted in the true patriotism that cherishes America's ideals and strives to narrow the gap between those ideals and reality.”

I'm surprised you haven't named MLK as a terrorist.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Because you'd live in a shithole if it weren't for him.

Pretty sure that the folks who he held in bondage didn't think they were living in paradise, they probably called it a shithole.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Where you at Struth?

 

[Anarchy666]

Go back to reddit, debate politics and spacebattles libtards

I can't wait to hear Struth come and defend this.

What's to defend?

He was in Miami admiring the Black representation for pregame of the National Championship. Where were the Latinos represented for the game?

We'll deal with it.

Funny, how you think people will pull support over something like this.

Trump could turn his back on the border and I'd still support him. I'd be pissed, but the alternative is unthinkable.

We celebrate what...really?

Are people going to buy less presents?

Oh wait.......

The left hates MLK. The OP is just trolling because if the OP actually cared about MLK, then it would be shown by adhering to what he taught.

Good luck with that.

You people can't get past your own noses.

He is adhering to what he taught. You only know one sentence and think that's what he taught.

<~~~~~~~~~~>
Could be because Superbadbrutha's like you have made a mockery of the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr.!

You don't know his teachings.

You're an idiot.


All Democrats are.

And that was 250 years ago.
You ever gonna let that shit go, pal?
They weren't quite as advanced back then as we are now, you know?
You just gonna let shit like that eat you up forever?
