Boycott, protests threatened if President Trump comes
No he can't. He is a fraud. He wouldn't condemn the alt-right speicificly the Neo Nazis and KKK at Charlotsville. This is him trying to win points and honestly it wont work. Trump isn't a uniter in chief, he is a divider in chief. And that is just in America. Outside of it, we are a joke and allies are left shaking their heads at us.

Of course-then they would accuse him of being a racist for NOT attending. Haters gonna hate. Losers gonna lose. And Trump keeps on winning.

You have automatically forfeited the debate.

Which is unfortunate, really, since we were eager for you to document, in exact fashion, how this imaginary Trump-led genocide you believe actually happened was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of minority persons.

trump has refused several high profile invitations such as the kennedy honors and the correspondent's dinner normally attended by the president. he may not have attended those functions and others due to the hostility of the participants towards him and feeling those events weren't important.

trump did choose to attend the museum opening likely knowing he would face hostility from black leaders like Lewis and others. I don't think he would attend unless he felt the President's attendance at the museum was important to the country as a whole and especially to honor the history of the people it represents. sadly, some don't see that.
I think he had other motivations, the timing and holding a rally in Pensacola and his support for Moore's election this week. It would have been better if he didn't attend, after his comments on Charlottesville this could have been expected

Exactly. So proud that President Trump isn't giving into this hate from the left. This is a day that should be about unity. That some members of the CBC are playing race-based politics is sad. But President Trump should never cower to such tactics. The only ones who will look like fools on opening day are those who aren't in attendance.

A Civil Rights "Icon" has, at his own choosing, reduced himself to being seen by others as just a con.

David Clarke: John Lewis Has Become Irrelevant In Congress. Look at his district and the condition its in.

I agree he would be criticized for NOT attending and for good reason, so what's your point? He always will and always should be criticized for being a racist because he is one. Google the central park five, he still hasn't apologized after the actual murderer confessed and DNA evidence found them innocent;

Incredibly, 14 years after their sentences were vacated based on DNA evidence and the detailed and accurate confession of a serial rapist named Matias Reyes, Mr. Trump has doubled down.

“They admitted they were guilty,” he said in a statement to CNN this month. “The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous.”


It's sad that so many conservatives look up to authoritarian types who never back down, admit a mistake or apologize, especially when there's so much to apologize for.

I agree haters gonna hate but if you're observant, you'll notice that while many Dems hate our petty, divisive racist in the WH, Republicans spew their hatred for every liberal in the country. Unless conservatives take to arms, we'll see who loses in the long run.

And Trump keeps on whining...

In this case Trump is like a fish trying to prove he can't swim.
