In an Instagram post, Dolmayan shared a photo of Trump’s recent tweet, in which he claimed he’d “done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln,” and that “Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates” are the lowest they’ve ever been under his administration.
“Let’s not let the narrative that’s being spun make us forget the truth of this statement,” Dolmayan wrote. “The most attacked president in history yet the greatest friend to minorities! Don’t believe it? Look at the stats. Don’t like it, doesn’t change the truth of it.”
Meanwhile, Dolmayan’s System band mate Serj Tankian recently called for Trump’s resignation in his own Instagram post after the president went into an underground bunker last Friday amid the ongoing protests against racism and police brutality in Washington, D.C. Multiple senior sources told ABC News that Trump had been briefly moved to the bunker, though Trump later claimed he was just conducting an “inspection.”
“Run Donny run into your bunker,” Tankian wrote. “You may be the first US President to do so out of fear of your own citizens. A real leader would address the nation properly and a real man would go face the protestors on the streets in person.”
