Donald Trump Pays Tribute to Jesse Jackson Despite Claims He is “A Racist”

Donald Trump is paying his respects and addressing disrespect.

Just hours after civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson passed away at 84, The President took to Truth Social to pay tribute in a way only Trump can.

Full story below…

While acknowledging Jackson’s impact on criminal justice reform and historically Black colleges and universities, Trump quickly pivoted the spotlight back to himself, noting he had given Jackson office space in one of his buildings and claiming:

“despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a Racist.”

Then, in classic Trump fashion, he threw shade at former President Barack Obama, writing:

“He had much to do with the election, without acknowledgement or credit, of Barack Hussein Obama, a man who Jesse could not stand.”

Jackson had publicly apologized for past tension with Obama, a relationship that began awkwardly during the 2008 campaign but ultimately reflected the long legacy of a man who paved the way for generations.

RIP Jesse Jackson.
