President Donald Trump claimed in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that he’s done more for the Black community than any other president in history, including Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln is one of the most popular presidents in US history and widely revered for signing the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery.
“So I think I’ve done more for the Black community than any other president, and let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln because he did good, although it’s always questionable, you know, in other words, the end result —” Trump said before Faulkner interjected.
“Well, we are free, Mr. President, so I think he did pretty well,” she said, referring to Lincoln.
“We are free,” Trump said. “You understand what I mean.”
“Yeah, I get it,” Faulkner said.
This isn’t the first time Trump has claimed he’s done more for the Black community than his predecessors.
