He probably told Sharpton that he is cancelling any visits by him to the White House.

Hey Al: I know who you are, I know where you live, and I know how much you owe the IRS. Behave yourself.

Trump and Sharpton have been friends for decades.

Trump even helped Sharpton fund raise way back in the day.

ouch. Hard to be ugly to a man you’ve known for years and know to be a nice guy who calls to see how you’re doing. LOL good move on Trump’s part.

Your passport is revoked until it is paid. You can’t leave

Trump never slows down. Hope he doesn’t over do himself.

It’s just history.

Trump, Don King and Sharpton were very close.

I am so not surprised. If this report is true then The Donald is doing what he said “Drain the Swamp”.

Next Up : Rev Jessie Jackson

like it’s said in the hood-—”i’m gonna’ bust a’ cap in yo’

ass & it won’t be from a gun.

He’s gonna’ take down all these lib progs & all the groups

they represent & tell them to go pound sand.

Agree?

To be fair, when did Obama call Ann Coulter, or David Duke... or anybody with a diametrically opposed opinion?

The great divider.
