President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.s memorial in Washington, D.C. on Monday but he stayed for less than two minutes.
Although Trump had no public events scheduled on MLK Day, he and Vice President Mike Pence took time out of their morning for a short trip to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
But as the White House pool noted, the visit was short-lived. MSNBC video shows Trump spending less than two minutes at the site.
According to the pool, Trump made no remarks about King while visiting the memorial.

President Trump did in fact place a wreath at the #MLK memorial. Per WH pool it was an efficient trip:
11:06am left WH
11:12am arrive MLK Memorial
11:15am left MLK Memorial
11:22am back at WH
9:38 AM - 21 Jan 2019

(18,837 posts)Said Trump is "inspiring" us with his desire to build a wall, and you can read the rest at the link above.
That made it even more galling to see the two of them standing there, even if it was only for 2 minutes.

He will be remembered as a failure, a disgrace and a treasonous asshole,
and down deep he knows it. How he lives with himself is beyond me.
He needs about 1000 micrograms of LSD.

(18,837 posts)I don't see that 35% ever eroding. Even if the Mueller and / or New York investigations bear fruit, the MAGAts will mourn forever once Trump shuffles off to meet Beelzebub.

(63,221 posts)Not one word about the man or his legacy. Of course he wouldn't want to get his racist base in an uproar, so he was probably trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.
