Trump turns Jesse Jackson tribute into explosive attack on Obama as he denies being racist

Donald Trump showed his respect for the Rev. Jesse Jackson by ripping into Barack Obama and slamming Democrats for calling him a racist.

The civil rights leader died Tuesday morning at the age of 84, surrounded by his loved ones, according to his family.

The president released a statement praising Jackson as a “good man” with a lot of “street smarts” before using the tribute to attack his political enemies.

“Although I have been erroneously and consistently called a Racist by the Scoundrels and Crazies on the Radical Left and ALL Democrats, it has always been a pleasure to help Jesse along the way,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The president alleged that Jackson provided office space for his nonprofit social justice organization in the Trump Building in Manhattan for years.

He also boasted that he helped sign criminal justice reform as a favor to Jackson, a former U.S. presidential candidate, during his first administration.

“Jesse was a force of nature like few before him,” Trump continued, before highlighting Obama’s middle name. ‘He had a huge hand in getting Barack Hussein Obama elected, without any endorsement or credit, a man Jesse couldn’t stand.’

Trump’s attack comes just weeks after he released an AI-generated video depicting former president and first lady Michelle Obama as a monkey.

In 2008, Jackson attacked Obama with a harsh microphone for ‘insulting’ black Americans.

‘He loved his family very much and I send them my deepest love and condolences. Jesse will be missed!’ Trump concluded his remarks.

Jackson was an influential supporter of Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

During his tribute Tuesday morning, Trump noted that the late civil rights leader disliked the 44th president.

Trump’s insult may be a reference to a 2008 incident in which Jackson harshly slammed Obama into a microphone for ‘insulting’ him to black Americans and then said, ‘I want to cut his balls off.’

Jackson later apologized for those remarks and continued his support for Obama and his administration.

Born in the Jim Crow South in 1941, Jackson was one of the most influential civil rights leaders of the 21st century.
