I just don't think his pedestal should be as high as some think it should be. It not like he walked on water or anything close to it.
The man was the leader of the Civil Rights movement and paid the ultimate price for it. Only Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists don't recognize him as such an his importance in American history.

Isn't that the thing though?

He was just a man like the rest of us, but he did a singularly extraordinary thing, and that's why he's revered.

The difference between him and you, or him and me, is a tiny step.

But he took that step, and that's the difference.

You and I would die for our family- would you die for everyone else's family?

I've never said MLK wasn't a great civil rights leader. I just don't think he deserves the "God" like status some give him.

Interesting old article about tRUmp. Some things never change.

After The Gold Rush

Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.

Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”

“I don’t remember,” I said.

“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)

Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”

Is Ivana trying to convince her friends and lawyer that Trump is a crypto-Nazi? Trump is no reader or history buff. Perhaps his possession of Hitler’s speeches merely indicates an interest in Hitler’s genius at propaganda. The Führer often described his defeats at Stalingrad and in North Africa as great victories. Trump continues to endow his diminishing world with significance as well. “There’s nobody that has the cash flow that I have,” he told The Wall Street Journal long after he knew better. “I want to be king of cash.”

I really enjoy his niece's comments.....Alveta King (sounds like Velveeta when they introduce her). She's a conservative, a Trump supporter and a Fox contributor.
