On Wednesday, recent Islamic convert and former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote a column for The Washington Post in which he referred to 2016 GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump as “[t]he biggest enemy to the principles of the Constitution.”
His proof? Trump’s alleged “vendetta against the press,” i.e., Trump’s willingness to take Fox News host Megyn Kelly to task for asking unfair questions AND Univision political activist Jorge Ramos to task for rudely interrupting his press conference.
The proud Islamist also excoriated Trump for the “absurd, uninformed or just plain incorrect” statements — all of them in fact correct — he has made about illegal immigration, among other topics.
Even worse, Abdul-Jabbar compared Trump to socialist and barely senile curmudgeon Bernie Sanders, whom he flatteringly labeled a “mature, thoughtful and intelligent man.” Fast forward to today, when we learned that Trump had responded directly to Abdul-Jabbar yesterday by sending him a printed copy of his column, with the following message written over it:
Kareem — Now I know why the press always treated you so badly — they couldn’t stand you. The fact is that you don’t have a clue about life and what has to be done to make America great again! Best wishes, Donald Trump We know as much because Abdul-Jabbar posted a picture of the message on his Facebook page:
While Trump’s pithy response did admittedly lack any substantive policy rhetoric, anyone who is aware of his positions on the issues — as well as Abdul-Jabbar’s positions, which by the way include support for the “Black Lives Matter” terrorists — should realize that he spoke the truth.
Guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are no different than President Barack Hussein Obama. They thrive on standing up for all the wrong people, including radical Islamic terrorists, illegal immigrants and domestic terrorists like the “Black Lives Matter” radicals. Men like Donald Trump, on the other hand, stand up for the right people — namely we the American people — and genuinely wants to “make America great again!”
