Donald Trump has long been known for tossing insults at anyone who disagrees with him, but he often holds special venom for those non-White or non-male figures who dare question anything about him. This month has been especially venomous, with him closing it out with Twitter jabs at CNN's Don Lemon.

For anyone who was unable to keep up, here are five examples of President Trump's attacks this month against Black political figures.

1. Rep. Ayanna Pressley

In one of the more publicized squabs of his tenure, Trump tweeted July 14 that the four freshman Congresswomen, known as The Squad, should "go back" to the countries they are from. The message was widely criticized, as three of the four women, including Pressley, were born in the United States.

Pressley, in particular, did not take the jab lightly, as shortly after, she described Trump as a "Twitter thug" in a statement to Boston Magazine.

“We will not be dismissed, and we will not be bullied by a Twitter thug. I will continue working every day in Congress to stand up to this Administration and make heard the voices of people in the Massachusetts’ 7th,” Pressley said.


2. Rep. Ilhan Omar

Being the only member of The Squad not born in the U.S., Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar received the shortest end of the stick following Trump's hateful comments.

After Trump sent the original tweet, he stood by and basked in the moment July 17, as the crowd at his North Carolina rally chanted, "Send her back!"


3. Rep. Elijah Cummings

Trump aimed his ire at Cummings after the Maryland representative called for better care for migrants being held in border facilities. President Trump responded July 27 by referring to Cummings' district, which includes Baltimore, as a “disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.”

Trump also insinuated within his tweet that Cummings should spend more time in his district to focus on cleaning it up, something the congressman took offense to.

4. Rev. Al Sharpton

Following the dust-up with Rep. Cummings, Sharpton came to his defense, which once again drew anger from the president. Trump started his Twitter tirade July 29 by mentioning his past history with Sharpton before referring to him as a "con man" and a "troublemaker".

Like many others on the list, Sharpton did not take the hit lying down, agreeing with Trump on the troublemaker label and using the label of con-man to take a shot back at him and his entire administration.

5. Journalist and CNN news anchor Don Lemon

Lemon received vitriol from the president following a question he asked as a moderator July 30 during the second round of Democratic debates. Lemon asked Rep. Amy Klobuchar what she would do to win voters who "prioritize the economy over the president's bigotry."

Trump did not like the insinuation that he was in any way bigoted and set out to disprove it by calling the only Black person onstage that night "the dumbest man on television."

Despite these numerous examples to the contrary, Trump and his allies continue to attempt to portray him as the "least racist person anywhere in the world," which the president called himself at a White House press conference Tuesday.

Maybe it will take another list next month before they see the problem.
