Documented Racist Trump’s Black History Month Remarks Send Internet Reeling

On Wednesday (Feb. 18), President Donald Trump hosted a Black History Month reception at the White House, weeks after the backlash over posting a video on his Truth Social media platform depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes in the jungle.

At the outset of his speech, he thanked those gathered at the event including U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon (who he would call Harmeet Diller) and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner. “Happy Black History Month, Happy Black History Year, Happy Black History Century,” Trump stated.
