Something tells me that he had never said he was going, and this is just more #fakenews. I don’t trust anything they say any more. If Trump didn’t tweet about planning on going, then I don’t believe he was intending to go.

How does the Daily Mail consistently beat the media here in the USA? Too many people in the US media have to sign off on every story?

I’m sure the secret service said it was a bad idea.

Good. To the extent MLK was a facilitator of the feds unconstitutional interference with individuals’ freedom of choice (”discrimination”) MLK is part of the problem, not the solution.

Trump is a busy man. Why should he waste his time going to a "museum" about a communist stooge?

I have a feeling you’re right. My first thought was that it could be dangerous.

Well, if this is true, it does not bother me. Where is it written that every politician/President has to prostrate themselves before the NAACP or MLK altar?

"I’m sure the secret service said it was a bad idea."

Nevermind them, until they are back under treasury and get a full DJT re-org, I'd say having his own team aboard still is a really good thing. I can read between the lines here what we don't know about threat levels etc, hmmm....

Every time Trump demonstrates that he has no time or patience for pandering, my opinion of him goes up a notch.

I never seen a tweet that this is what he was planning...he always says where’s he going, unless he is running a scam to catch liars...

I think this is more ‘fake news’...why do we post anymore???

“Good. To the extent MLK was a facilitator of the feds unconstitutional interference with individuals’ freedom of choice (”discrimination”) MLK is part of the problem, not the solution.”

Jim Crow was imposed by the state.

Nothing to do with freedom of choice.

Of course it was Democrats doing it.

To me the Mall is depressing. It was being redone when we were there in October 2015 so maybe I will like it better when its redone (needs a lot more bathrooms) and Trump is in the White House. I hated that you could not get within a half a mile of the White House, no tours, Penn Ave closed. Ugly metal fences every where. And yes, the MLK monument is ugly. I don’t have a lot of animus towards him as a man but his image has been so distorted by the Dems.

It would be more appropriate to honor someone like Frederick Douglass really with a memorial. The MLK marchers like Lewis and Jesse Jackson have turned out to be some of the biggest racists though. Ironic considering what MLK preached.
