 [LATIMES] Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
met with Martin Luther King III on Monday, a holiday commemorating the life of King's father, which this year was marked by Trump’s quarrel with Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a hero of the civil rights struggle.
King, the oldest surviving child of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., described the meeting at Trump Tower as constructive and said it had centered on efforts to improve the voting system.
| A lot of us could go along with that, if Mr. King is serious about cleaning up the system. |
Asked by news hounds about Trump’s characterization Saturday of Lewis as "all talk ... no action," King said he "absolutely" disagreed.
"I would say John Lewis has demonstrated that he is action," said King. But, he added, "Things get said on both sides in the heat of emotion. And at some point in this nation, we’ve got to move forward."
King said that Trump told him that he intended to represent all Americans.
"I believe that’s his intent," King said. "I believe we have to consistently engage with pressure, public pressure."
| And, maybe sir, a little cooperation... |
