Atlanta Mayor Rips 'Delusional' Trump For His 'Almost Blasphemous' Claims About Helping Black Americans

Atlanta Mayor Rips 'Delusional' Trump For His 'Almost Blasphemous' Claims About Helping Black Americans
Matthew Chapman

During a recent interview with Axios' Jonathan Swan, Donald Trump spoke about a number of pressing issues: surging virus cases and deaths; unmarked police vans in Portland, Oregon; his mail-in voting fraud conspiracy theories; and recently deceased Democratic Congressman John Lewis.

Nearly everything Trump said in that interview has sparked outrage across the internet in some way.


His comments regarding John Lewis, who served in Congress for over 30 years and played a key role in the Civil Rights Movement of the early 1960s, were no exception.

When Swan asked Trump how history would remember John Lewis, Trump immediately placed himself at the center of the question:

"I don't know. I don't know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my inauguration. I never met John Lewis, actually, I don't believe."
"I can't say one way or the other. I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive. But, no, he didn't come to my inauguration, he didn't come to my State of the Union."

Trump then devolved into an even less relevant claim:

"But, again, no one has done more for Black Americans than I have."

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms did not take those meandering comments lightly. During an appearance on CNN, Bottoms was asked to respond to Trump's comments:

"He's delusional. He's a narcissist and he is delusional."
"The only person that believes that is him. He's done nothing for African-Americans in this country, and to speak that in the same sentence as speaking of John Lewis is almost blasphemous."

Twitter users wholeheartedly agreed with Bottoms' characterization of the president.







Of course, no amount of claims on Twitter can change the president's mind.

As Bottoms also mentioned in the interview, voting in the election in November is likely the only way that Donald Trump would ever begin to wrap his head around the possibility that things are not as he sees them.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
