    Before obviously.
    A sarcastic tweet by Trump is not surprising but all sarcasm has truth.
  • What was the Ali award for?

    Uh, no. I don't think it was sarcastic. He was going after Obama and Muslims (oh wait, doesn't he think Obama is a Muslim?) He was just being ignorant. I mean, how can there be truth when one of the greatest athletes in our nation's history was Muslim? That makes zero sense.

    Zero sense?, to who?
    This is why there will always be opposition.

    If I say the Patriots are a terrible franchise because they never won the Super Bowl; there's no truth in that statement. It's demonstrably incorrect. It's the same with Trump's statement.

    Why are you trying to defend something that is indefensible? He fucked it up. You don't have to be the chief apologist.

    ^^Is your argument that Ali was not a great athlete, not of the Muslim faith or not American? You must make one of those to defend Trump's dipshit tweet.

    None of the above.
    The Obama team did not do their research before letting that comment slip.
    Trump has some heat for talking about muslims but it is not a problem for one of the greatest.

    See? I can repeat a lie over and over again and try to magically make it true, too! Who needs facts when you can spin and deflect?!

    Hey, was this picture before or after he tweeted this in Dec '15

    Obama said in his speech that Muslims are our sports heroes. What sport is he talking about, and who? Is Obama profiling?

    What a doofus. Not only did he forget Ali, but also Kareem, Shaquille, Hakeem and lots more. What a fucking moron. I had forgotten about this.

    It means there is no way that the greatest of all didn't know what Donald was like as a person therefore gave him the award.
    Now, what was that award for?

    First, that has nothing to do with Trump's tweet questioning who are these great Muslim athletes. All you're trying to do is deflect here. And second, he has been suffering from debilitating Parkinson's for years. He probably had no clue what Trump has been up to for the last 18 months.

    I read today that Ginacarlo Stanton got to meet him at the Marlins stadium opener two years ago, but Ali couldn't even speak.

    So what was that award for?

    I don't know. You posted the fucking picture. Trump is still stupid enough to send that Tweet when he got to meet this Muslim.

    In 2007, for instance, Trump accepted a Muhammad Ali Award at a charity event in Phoenix hosted by the three-time heavyweight champion of the world, who converted to Islam in 1964.

    So why did he send such a stupid fucking tweet? That's the question. Is it because he's a moron, or is it because he thinks his supporters are morons and he can placate them? Which is it?

    It keeps his enemies at bay while building a majority.
    So a bit of both.
    He has stated from day one he speaks how he feels and if it lands him in the whitehouse so be it.
