Trump’s “amazing” ignorance: The president’s Black History Month celebration was embarrassing

From the site:

It’s pretty obvious that Donald Trump does not know why Frederick Douglass is an important figure in American history. That’s to be expected from someone who, as The New York Times put it recently, “does not read books,” and Trump has often described himself as someone who doesn’t really care for details when consuming information. Trump likely has heard the name Frederick Douglass before, and he probably knows Douglass was a human who existed and that he is significant in some way, but odds are he can’t explain why.
