Trump lays into Sharpton, Van Jones for being two-faced at WH Black Leadership Summit

President Trump called out CNN’s Van Jones during a black leadership summit for not thanking him for his achievements in criminal justice reform.

Speaking to an audience attending the Young Black Leadership Summit held at the White House Friday, the president took a shot at Jones and MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton when he got to the topic of the much-lauded bipartisan criminal justice reform bill that was passed last year.

“So Van Jones was on about two weeks ago, and he came to me, and I am telling you, he was so nice,” Trump said at the summit hosted by Turning Points USA.

“He was sitting right there when I was doing it. I said thank you, Van Jones, thank you this one, this one, that one, that one, and that was it,” he said. “And he came up and thanked me. That was it.”

“Then about three weeks, I saw him on television — I don’t watch his show too much. Neither do too many,” Trump said, apparently referring to “The Van Jones Show” which airs on CNN Saturdays at 7 p.m.

Trump! Trump! Trump!
He is one of a kind, believe me.
I appreciate what he’s trying to do.

Van Jones is still a hardcore, lying Marxist and Sharpton is still a lying bastard, extortist, racist, commie-supporting POS.

Trump was too nice to Van Jones. The only thing Van Jones does is something that will advance Marxism. Period.

Because Jones thanked him before, he saw no reason to thank him before an audience of young black people. He just didn't want Trump to look good to future black leaders.
