Self praise, loaded with lies, and self-serving timing. For instance, he takes credit for criminal justice reform, when the bill passed 87-12 in the Senate and 358-36 in the House. Veto proof bipartisan vote, and culmination of effort started in the previous administration.

However, he massively increased reliance on "private" jails, to make his financial supporters happy.

His claim that President Obama did not acknowledge Jesse Jackson is a bold faced lie as well.

When Obama was running for the Presidency in 2008, Jesse Jackson had ambitions of running as well, and during a 2008 Interview with Fox, Jackson not realized his phone was "hot", said he wanted to have Obama "castrated".

Jackson apologized about the sour grapes comment and Obama accepted it. Jackson was not perfect and he felt that he was more entitled to be the "black" president, but it is what it is, and sour grapes is something Trump is well versed in.

President Obama was gracious in accepting the apology and acknowledging Jesse Jackson's contributions to the civil rights movement and black empowerment, during his lifetime and in the comments he released following Jackson's death.

But Trump be Trump and MAGA be MAGA.
