        Trump's comments after her death sounded like he owned her on a few occasions. With Trump - it's all about him. Aretha Franklin has received sincere RESPECT from all previous Presidents - but I doubt racist #45 was sincere in any way. RIP Aretha.

        This great lady was from the Martin Luther King school of civil rights. She would’ve hated the way your paper is heading with Sarah Jeong.
