      Can Trump be a martyr too? Like any time soon?

      MLK’s words resonate because they meant something. Trump’s popularity will drop as soon as he isn’t around to stir the pot with his random word salad said in a way that gets people emotional.

        He eats nothing but mcdonalds and well done steak. His diet is likely to make him a martyr sooner than we all think.

        Eat your veggies, kids.

      A month ago, but apparently it was a gubernatorial endorsement, not himself:

      GREENSBORO, N.C. — Former President Donald Trump likened North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson to Martin Luther King Jr. in an endorsement Saturday, despite the gubernatorial candidate’s long history of controversial comments about homosexuality, religion and victims of sexual abuse.

      “This is Martin Luther King on steroids,” Trump said of Robinson at a pre-Super Tuesday rally in North Carolina.

      “I told that to Mark. I said, I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two,” he continued as he offered Robinson his endorsement in the Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday.
