Trump attempts to reach out to African Americans

Donald Trump altered his campaign's theme Saturday while attempting to reach out to African American voters.

The GOP's presumptive nominee says he "revised" the "Make America great again" theme to "Make America safe again" in the wake of last week's shooting in Orlando.

"We want to do it for everybody," Trump said at a rally in Las Vegas. "We want to do it for African Americans."

African American youth have a 59 percent rate of unemployment and we're letting people pour into our country. We have no idea who the hell they are," Trump said.

No chance we forgive and forget. Not even for a ride on his plane.

Trump reaches out and tugs on the sleeve of a passing waiter. "Boy, fill my glass here! I've been sitting here waiting!..."

In high school I was absolutely certain that Nixon would be the worst President in history. Then, I knew that no one could possibly be worse than BushCheney, and then Trump comes along.
If he were to somehow get elected, he might be the last President as well as the worst.
