The White House should not let Trump walk around unsupervised. On Wednesday, the president showed up at a Black History Month event and, just like your racist uncle after having a few too many drinks at the family party, decides he’s going to prove he’s not racist by listing his black friends.

Trump said:
Mike Tyson. Boy, I tell you, Mike has been faithful to me. Every time they say it, they say Trump is racist. You know? It’s like a statement. Trump is a racist. Mike Tyson says he is not racist. He’s my friend. He is. I’ve been there since the beginning.
Good times and bad times. But Mike Tyson is a great guy and he was so loyal, he was always loyal and Herschel Walker, talking about loyalty, pointed out what a good football player he was. Herschel Walker. He is now ambassador to the Bahamas. I don’t know. Bahamas. Is Bermuda the Bahamas? Never mind. It’s nice. A beautiful place. You’d like this Bruce, wouldn’t you?
Bruce wants it. And, uh, a friend, a guy who got real. He loved Trump. Jim Brown. He was tough. He had entered. He was very quiet. He was silent, but deadly. He would come in and look at people and if he didn’t like them, he would look at me and he would leave, no. He wanted to rip their hearts out. I would say they can’t be a better football player, a better football player than Jim Brown.
By the way, Lawrence Taylor, great friend Lawrence, the great Lawrence Taylor, probably the greatest defensive player in the history of football. He’s a great friend of mine and uh, but I’m further from the tee than him. Do you know why? Because they push the club back further. He brings the club back here and he hits it 200 yards.
When you can do that, you are strong. He’s a great guy, he’s a great guy. I’ll tell you.

Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist who spent years in prison. Lawrence Taylor is a registered sex offender as he was convicted of sexual misconduct with a minor. These are two examples of what Trump considers to be a “great guy.”
At least Trump was actually talking about black people, but that wasn’t the case when he was rambling about election conspiracies and Joe Biden.
