Donald Trump slammed for racist Obama tweet
Updated | By Staff Writer
Donald Trump has once again got Durban and the world talking; this time for his tweet over the riots in Baltimore.
Clearly the man has tons of followers because every time he says something racist or inappropriate the internet goes wild.
Just last week, he had South Africans up in arms over his comments about the recent spate of xenophobic attacks.
This time the business mogul, TV personality and presidential hopeful took a jab at President Barack Obama saying: "Our great African American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!"
Blatant and rampant property destruction in Baltimore as the police stand by and watch. Should be a lesson on how NOT to handle riots. SAD!

Now it’s no secret that he has been a critic of Obama since his early days in office, but this time (as usual) he got a lot of heat for his comments on Twitter:
Donald Trump is living proof wealth can't buy intellect. His ignorant racist statements have proven this time and time again.

Donald Trump is like that old, bigoted, racist relative you spend all your time trying to avoid at family parties.

Donald Trump: a man so repugnant that even his wig is trying to get away from him. In two different directions

Whenever things go wrong in the US, Obama is reminded by Donald Trump that he's black.

Yes - Trump is entitled to his opinion but I don't think the fact that Obama is African American should factor in how the situation in Baltimore is handled.
Nonetheless violence is never an answer to solving any issues.
Pray for Baltimore.
