(AURN News) — President Donald Trump posted a tribute to the late Rev. Jesse Jackson that later took a political turn.
“The Reverend Jesse Jackson is dead at 84. I knew him well, long before becoming president. He was a good man, with lots of personality, grit and ‘street smarts.’ He was very gregarious — someone who truly loved people!” Trump wrote.
“Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Lunatics on the Radical Left, Democrats ALL, it was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way. I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition, for years, in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street,” he said.
“Jesse was a force of nature like few others before him. He had much to do with the Election, without acknowledgment or credit, of Barack Hussein Obama, a man who Jesse could not stand,” Trump wrote.
