Y'all president has a lotta nerve. 

In his “Weekly Address,” Trump “honored” Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks for the 62nd anniversary of her refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus.

“Her courageous act inspired a young Christian pastor, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr, along with thousands of others in Montgomery to join the movement and boycott the city bus service . . . Soon millions of others across the country joined the Civil Rights Movement and helped secure the freedom and the equality that is every American’s birthright,” Trump said.

He added: “Rosa Parks’s legacy continues to inspire our citizens to pursue a better tomorrow and to build a country where every American child — no matter their skin color — can live without fear, dream without limits and take their rightful place in the great story of our nation.”

Take a look at this irony for yourself:

No doubt Rosa Parks deserves ALL THE LOVE for her activism and everything she's done for Black folks...but having #45 be the person who does that seems pretty disingenuous given his past and present issues with African-Americans. 

Remember: This is the same dude that said there was some "pretty fine" white supremacists during the Charlottesville protests this summer. 

This is also the same dude that called Colin Kaepernick and other Black NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem "son of a bitch."

He's also roasted the following Black people on Twitter: Jemele Hill, LaVar Ball, Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Frederica Wilson and Former President Barack Obama to name a few.

Twitter, especially Black folks, had a lot to say about this:

We mean, Trump didn't even know that Frederick Douglas was dead, so it's whatever. 

Man...what would Rosa think of all this?

FAM: Do you think Trump's video about Rosa Parks is a slap in the face to her legacy? Weigh in...
