Translation:

I love black people. I wanna thank my black friend ben for showing me round the ghetto.

Now lemme use MLK's legacy to clear some petty grievance involving myself, then dispose of him just like that statue.

Btw I'm also going to show off how many other black people names I can drop using the teleprompter.

And just in case all that's not convincing, here are some right now sitting right beside me, some of them even on the payroll. Would a racist hire blacks? Don't think so. I probably have some hispanics on the payroll, too, but I'm saving that for their month.

Oh and don't forget my other african american, Omarosa. I like her so much "I don't want to destroy her reputation". Black people love me, esp when I talk about their inner city.

PPS, also don't forget those fake reporters never have anything good to say about me. I'm even celebrating their people's holiday or whatever. Can't imagine why.

Wow, just fucking wow
Well, the election, it came out really well. Next time, we'll triple the number, or quadruple it. We want to get it over 51, right. At least 51.

Well, this is Black History Month, so this is our little breakfast, our little get-together. And just a few notes. During this month, we honor the tremendous history of the 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 America. I've gotten a real glimpse during the campaign; I'd go around with Ben to a lot of places that I wasn't so familiar with. They're incredible people. And I want to thank Ben Carson, who's going to be heading up HUD, and it's a big job, and it's a job that's not only housing, it's mind and spirit, right? And you understand that. Nobody's going to be better than Ben.

Last month we celebrated the life of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose incredible example is unique in American history. You read all about Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said I took the statue out of my office. And it turned out that that was fake news. The statue is cherished. It's one of the favorite things — and we have some good ones. We have Lincoln, and we have Jefferson and we have Dr. Martin Luther King. And we have other. But they said the statue, the bust, of Dr. Martin Luther King was taken out of the office. And it was never even touched. So I think it was a disgrace, but that's the way the press is. It's very unfortunate.

I am very proud now that we have a museum, National Mall, where people can learn about Reverend King, so many other things, Frederick Doug — Douglass is an example of somebody who's done an amazing job that is being recognized more and more, I notice. Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and millions more black Americans who made Americans what it is today. Big impact. I'm proud to honor this heritage and will be honoring it more and more.

Folks at the table, in almost all cases, have been great friends and supporters. And Darrell, I met Darrel when he was defending me on television. And the people that were on the other side of the argument didn't have a chance, right. And Paris has done an amazing job in a very hostile CNN community; he's all by himself. Seven people and Paris. I'll take Paris over the seven. But I don't watch CNN, so I don't get to see you as much. I don't like watching fake news. But Fox has treated me very nice, wherever Fox is, thank you. We're going to need better schools, and we need 'em soon. We need more jobs, we need better wages, a lot better wages. We're going to work very hard on the inner city. Ben's going to be doing that, big league, that's one of his big things that we're going to be looking at. We need safer communities and we're going to do that with law enforcement. We're going to make it safe. We're going to make it much better than it is right now. Right now, it's terrible.

I saw you talking about it the other night, Paris, on something else that was really — you did a fantastic job the other night on a very unrelated show. I'm ready to do my part, and I will say this, we're going to work together. This is a great group, this is a group that's been so special to me, you really helped me a lot. If you remember, I wasn't going to do well with the African-American community, and after they heard me speaking and talking about the inner city and lots of other things, we ended up getting, I won't go into details, but we ended up getting substantially more than other candidates who had run in the past years. And now we're going to take that to new levels. I want to thank my television star over here — Omarosa's actually a very nice person. Nobody knows that. I don't want to destroy her reputation. She is a very good person and she's been helpful right from the beginning with the campaign and I appreciate it, I really do. Very special. So I want to thank everybody for being here.

And I think the Dr Martin Luther King Jr put it best when he said

Wow!...just read the transcript..that was one incoherent, self-absorbed word salad. I think he thinks Frederick Douglass is still alive, and I love how whenever he talks about black people, he always talks about fixing them.

Paris, a black pro-Trump pundit on CNN, is now a great civil rights leader, up there with MLK and some Tubman fellow.

Remember for 8 years how people would count and post threads about how many times the president said I, ME etc... in any speech?

Where'd they go?

Why would they bother counting now? As Trump himself has probably told us, he's the most tremendous and humble president ever, bigly.

I see he's moved on from the election and has decided to accept his victory with all the grace, humility, and gravitas that it deserves.

Yeah Its getting old and stale listening as he derides the press for being unfair, along with his fake news dogma. I see many staunch conservatives who voted for him. They come in our shop daily and they are already starting to roll their eye's at his antics.

He could be getting it so much worse. The press pretend like what he says is rational and coherent. I wonder how long it's going to take for the press to get tired of being shit on and start baiting him. He’ll fall for the hook every single time. Start asking questions like “do you think there were a significant amount of African-Americans among the millions you claimed voted illegally in the past election?” Or a work of literature by a black author he found inspiring. To name 5 countries in Africa. Then sit back and watch the fun begin.

Breaking news... Trump disgraces America, again. More to come the next time he opens his mouth.

It's the most incredible mile a minute stream of bullshit ever created, a very effective exploitation of Brandolini's law.

He sounds exactly like a clueless old white cheeto head who's been told he has to say something nice about black people.
