Trump makes unannounced trip to Martin Luther King Jr memorial after criticism for empty schedule on holiday

President Donald Trump Trump has made an unannounced trip to the Martin Luther King Jr memorial - after being criticised for his empty calendar on the federal holiday. On Sunday, just hours after vice president Mike Pence compared Mr Trump to the civil rights movement icon, the White House schedule release showed no public events scheduled for Martin Luther King Jr Day. Reverend Al Sharpton, founder of the National Action Network, blasted the president for his failure to honor the King during a national breakfast event for the civil rights legend.
