In recent days, President-elect Donald Trump has been engaged in a pissing match with Georgia Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights leader who marched with Martin Luther King and paid for it with beatings, arrests and a skull fracture. Both have been petty. Lewis refuses to recognize that Trump is his President, while the latter erupted in a tweetstorm, reciting several inaccuracies along the way.
Now Trump is going to show Lewis by snubbing a planned visit to the African American Museum.
This is sure to delight the numerous racists who supported Trump, but is also evidence that he simply lacks the temperament to be a President. I want him to succeed, but thin-skinned gestures like this are appalling.
