Isn’t it crazy how a ‘racist’ (as the Dems say) like President Trump would do something to honor black American heroes?

Let’s see how the left-wing media tries to spin this one…

From Fox News:

President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the National Garden of American Heroes will be getting statues of American sports legends.

During a Black History Month ceremony at the White House, Trump revealed that late NBA star Kobe Bryant, late boxing star Muhammad Ali and late civil rights icon and MLB pioneer Jackie Robinson will all be represented with statues in the garden.

In addition to the legendary athletes getting statues, Trump announced multiple civil rights leaders in other fields, including Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Coretta Scott King and Frederick Douglass, will also get statues.
