Like Trump, JFK faced riots. Here’s what he did to stop the violence in Birmingham in 1963.

Such an important story-- the contrast between JFK's response to the Birmingham riots and Trump's incendiary Tweets about "vicious dogs" and "shooting the looters."

Among other differences, JFK was able to establish a meaningful, constructive rapport with MLK and the black community in Birmingham.

In contrast, Trump has no credibility with black (or Hispanic) communities in America.  None.

For the past four years, Trump has repeatedly denied the serious problem of police violence against black men in America, and has denigrated the Black Lives Matter movement, including Colin Kaepernick.

In the depositions of NFL owners during Kaepernick's successful lawsuit against the NFL, Dallas Cowboy's owner Jerry Jones revealed that Trump had aggressively urged the NFL owners to ban the BLM protests, and told them that bashing Kaepernick, "LIFTS ME."
