Trump Just Honored Jesse Jackson – And Used One Line To Destroy Obama’s Legacy
Jesse Jackson died Tuesday at 84, and the tributes poured in from politicians across the spectrum.But Trump's tribute wasn't like the others.
He honored Jackson, listed everything he did to help him – and then dropped a line about Obama that nobody saw coming. Trump's Truth Social Post Lists Rainbow PUSH Coalition Support and HBCU Funding.
Trump didn't just offer hollow words. He provided concrete examples of how he helped Jackson for decades before anyone called him racist. "I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition, for years, in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
That was the 1990s, when Jackson publicly praised Trump for supporting minority business initiatives. At the 1999 Wall Street Project conference, Jackson commended Trump's "sense of curiosity" and commitment to minority business development. They attended boxing matches together at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City.
Jackson took Trump seriously during both his 1984 and 1988 presidential runs when others dismissed him.
