Time it took for Trump to Tweet a note of thanks to Kanye West: 3 hours
Time it's taken Trump to Tweet a note of thanks the Waffle House hero, James Shaw Jr for his bravery: We're still waiting because he hasn't done it yet.

Trump is the only American not praising the Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr. who just happens to be black.

(115,686 posts)Kanye West gets thanks (even though he's black) because, for reasons known only to him, he likes Trump and has said so in public. Mr. Shaw is just a black guy who, unarmed, managed to take a gun away from a white guy who was shooting black people. He's already been given a hard time by the NRA because he didn't have a gun and, according to them, could have done a better job if he'd had one. Spanky doesn't like to acknowledge (1) any black person who hasn't expressly said they adore him; (2) anybody who was able to overpower a white guy with a gun without using one himself; or (3) anybody about whom the NRA has commented unfavorably.
