Trump’s Mugshot Compared to MLK on March on Washington’s 60th Anniversary

Donald Trump and Martin Luther King Jr. have loads in widespread, particularly of their mugs — at the very least that is what some on the suitable are saying … on a momentous day, no much less.

Indeed, it is a comparability that a number of conservatives on Twitter have truly been making over the past 24 hours — which simply so occurs to fall on the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington Saturday, when MLK delivered his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech in D.C.

The cause so many of those right-wing figures are suggesting DT and MLK are one in the identical right here, apparently, has to do with how they give the impression of being within the police reserving pictures.

Obviously, Trump comes throughout as indignant and defiant — and lots of are suggesting he is echoing the likes of different iconic American figures all through historical past … like Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin and, sure, even Dr. King. That’s what FOX News’s Will Cain mentioned Friday, anyway.

He obtained pushback from FOX contributor Jessica Tarlov … who mentioned what Trump’s going by way of within the prison justice system proper now is not even shut to what MLK put up with.

One would suppose it is an apparent apples-to-oranges case, but it surely appears like A LOT of Trump supporters legitimately suppose he is a sufferer of political persecution … and a goal of Justice Department. That was true in Dr. King’s case, little question, however the jury’s kinda out on Trump.

Dr. King, after all, was arrested many, many occasions over time (wrongly, and sometimes with out simply trigger) for making an attempt to arise for civil rights for Black Americans. His imprisonments have been usually carried out down within the South, particularly in Alabama.

Like Trump, although, he was additionally arrested by Atlanta-area authorities throughout a protest sit-in in 1960. That’s not a lot of a connection, however some are connecting these dots regardless.

Another bizarre factor that is taking place with this Trump/MLK phenomenon … a ton of AI artwork is being generated and circulated that exhibits the 2 of them cozying up and posing collectively.

Now, as you may think … there’s been lots of outcry over the viral juxtaposition. The argument on the opposite aspect of that is … Trump just isn’t the martyr his base is making an attempt to make him out to be, and he definitely should not be talked about in the identical convo as MLK in any respect.

None of MLK’s members of the family have responded to this side-by-side simply but … which is smart. A number of them are down in Washington proper now making an attempt to honor his reminiscence/legacy.
