Calls Spike Lee's Oscar acceptance speech a 'racist hit on your President'

After director Spike Lee won an Academy Award for 'BlacKkKlansman' and used his acceptance speech to urge Americans to mobilize for the 2020 election—without naming Trump—Trump tweeted that it would be 'Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes' before 'doing his racist hit on your President,' asserting he had done more for African Americans than 'almost any other Pres!' Lee's speech had referenced ancestry, slavery, and a 'moral choice between love versus hate' but did not mention Trump. Commentators noted the recurring pattern of Trump characterizing criticism from Black public figures as 'racist' against himself. The post was widely read as directed at his political base.

"Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres!"
