Donald Trump, lover of music and all of the arts, hereby declares that June is “African-American Music Appreciation Month.”
I would now like to share some of the words that appeared in the White House announcement. Here, as an appendix of sorts, we have:
cherished
elicit comfort, healing, happiness, conviction, and inspiration
freedom, justice, love, and the pursuit of happiness
jazz quartets
rock and roll guitar solos
gospel choirs
hip-hop beats
being an “American.”
Etta James
Whitney Houston
Etta James
Etta James
hum it
whistle it
sing it
blended tunes
hard-to-hit notes
contagious rhythm
fills our airways [sic]
ignite
sky is the limit.
Clearly, no one cherishes African-American music more than Donald Trump, and now we will have an opportunity to reflect on that every June.

Still here. Still without airbrushing. Still with teeth.
