    I feel like Frederick Douglass, who is somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, may have something to say about this.https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/987018299245506561 …

        @realDonaldTrump I read that you said, "Human trafficking is worse than its ever been in the history of the world.” Mr. Trump, you have been misinformed. But you need not remain misinformed.

        By which he undoubtedly means his access to Playmates has been sharply curtailed ... and things are therefore "worse."

        Trump's "History of the World" started when he was born.

        I don't think he is that deep. History for donny starts when he wakes up every morning, or at times, in the last hour he spent. Often his shallow warped view of the world history is minute by minute, second by second with in the same sentence. He is a disaster.

        Equating human trafficking with the US version of slavery is ignorant and an insult to the victims of both.

        Why? They both involve involuntary servitude, debasement, frequent loss of life, the reduction of a human life to its financial worth. Obviously there are differences, but the similarities are undeniable.

        If they have "differences and similarities" they shouldn't be equated. It cheapens both.

        Once again, simply state the opposite, and you get a true statement out of most things emerging from Trump's pie hole, as in: "Human trafficking is a huge problem, but it's still nowhere near as bad as it has been through other periods of human history."

        24.9 million people are now trafficked worldwide. That ought to shock anyone. World population continues to increase. Otherwise known as a burgeoning market.

        Trump just says stuff. Occasionally by random chance a little bit of it will turn out to be true.

        Someone ask him about the issue and the possible actions that can be taken to help, and watch the deer in headlights attempt an answer. He’s trying to continue his anti-POC narrative. He could less about the issue or the victims.
