Trump, as usual, has no idea what he’s talking about. Most open-minded historically inquisitive people here are aware of John Lewis. Those reading this who are unaware, look into the Freedom Riders. Lewis put his ass on the line in a way that Trump can’t comprehend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcvsWXrS2PI ---

It’s really quite extraordinary how nowadays part of my day is checking my phone to see what new idiocy the President-Elect of the United States has tweeted during his morning bowel movement. The 21st century hasn’t really turned out like I hoped it would, to be honest. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > … Lewis may have been over the top in his criticism of Trump’s legitimacy as president, but Trump’s response was personal and hurtful, just like any 10-year-old bully’s. I don’t think it was over the top. For one thing, Lewis didn’t make that statement for shock value or to get headlines. I believe he said it because that is truly what he believes. In stark contrast with Trump, who has never made a sincere statement stemmiing from a deeply held belief, mainly because he has no core beliefs. He is a Tower of Jell-o who routinely spouts contradictory crap from day to day purely for the shock/headline value, as \*\*Chefguy \*\*said, like a 10-year old bully.
