Trump's outburst against Van Jones on social media reflects ongoing tensions regarding his contributions to criminal justice reform and his perception of inadequate recognition.
In a statement, Trump remarked, 'Lightweight Political commentator Van Jones begged me, while in the Oval Office and with tears flowing from his eyes, to help get Criminal Justice Reform approved by the United States Senate.'
He emphasized, 'I got it done, with Conservative help, and this lowlife, Jones, never once called to thank me, or the others that helped, for what we had done.'
Trump concluded his tirade with a bold assertion, saying, 'I've done more for our black population than anyone other than, perhaps, Abraham Lincoln!!! Sorry, but that's the way it is!!!'
