It took President Donald Trump just three paragraphs before he began to talk about himself in the opening speech of a meeting held on Mika Muroi ArchivesWednesday morning to honor Black History Month.
The president briefly mentioned Martin Luther King Jr., then pivoted to talk about how news coverage of himself is bad and he does not like it.

"You read all about Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said I took the statue out of my office. And it turned out that that was fake news. Fake news."
A Timereporter is the "somebody" Trump's referring to, though the president didn't say that the reporter quickly apologized for the mistake. Trump and his team have continually brought this up as an example of how they believe media outlets won't fairly cover their administration.
"I am very proud now that we have a museum at the National Mall where people can learn about Reverend King, so many other things," Trump said. "Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who has done an amazing job, and is being recognized more and more, I notice. Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, millions more black Americans who made America what it is today."

He went on to thank a supporter seated at the table for "defending me on television," called CNN "fake news," and thanked Fox News for treating him "very nice."
More than a few folks were appalled at the president's speech, especially since it was given amid a committee confirmation vote for Attorney General Nominee Jeff Sessions, who has a consistently poor record when it comes to the expansion of voting rights.
