@SpiritualMan They're too busy talking about the 1986 fiasco to deal with fraudulent memes about 1989 is my guess. https://apnews.com/article/archive-fact-checking-6348420521
The answer is really simple: because it did not happen.
Donald Trump was awarded an Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1986, but the award was given as an acknowledgement of his German ancestry and his contributions to New York City as a real estate developer.
Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali, were also given an award that same day, so all three of them were present at the same time, in the same place. It's possible that a picture was taken, but the claim made in the meme is 100%, certified bullshit.
CLAIM: There are only three people who won the Ellis Island award for their work within the black community: Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali and Donald Trump. Yet the “squad” wants you to believe he’s racist.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Trump was one of 87 people to be honored with the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1986 for his successful work as a developer in New York City, not for his work within the black community.
THE FACTS: Social media users for years have wrongly suggested Trump was honored with the 1986 award for his work in the black community.
New posts circulating on social media are now holding up Trump’s Ellis Island award to rebuff claims that the president is racist after he suggested on Twitter that the “squad,” four freshmen Democrats who are all women of color and U.S. citizens, should go back to the “broken and crime infested” countries they came from.
