You're just cherry picking the facts, so here's a bit more of the article.

President Donald Trump paid a special tribute to the late Reverend Jesse Jackson during a reception celebrating Black History Month at the White House on Wednesday.

Trump said he knew Jackson "very well" as he delivered his remarks in the East Room. "Jesse was a piece of work, I want to tell you. He was a piece of work, but he was a good man."


"He was a real hero," the president continued. "I just want to pay my highest respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson. He was a good man." Trump said that once someone got to know Jackson, he got better and better.


Trump's comments were shared on X, with many people accusing the president of insulting the late civil rights icon. "He obviously didn't want to pay tribute to Jesse Jackson, but someone convinced him he should, or at least pretend to try," wrote one person. Another person said Trump was "incapable of doing the right thing."
