NAACP Snubs Trump: "We’ve Had Enough of This Circus"

The NAACP has made the unprecedented decision to exclude President Trump from its 2025 convention, proving that even civil rights organizations have their limits.

In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming (except everyone with a functioning brain), the NAACP has decided to break from its 116-year tradition of inviting sitting presidents to their convention. That’s right, folks—President Trump, the man who single-handedly united the nation (in collective facepalms), has been given the cold shoulder. And by "cold shoulder," I mean the kind of frosty reception usually reserved for telemarketers at dinnertime.

According to the NAACP’s press release, Trump’s recent actions—like allegedly attacking democracy, civil rights, and the very fabric of reality—just don’t align with their mission. Wow. What a revelation. It’s almost like inviting a tornado to a housewarming party and then being surprised when it wrecks the place.

But fear not, patriots! The White House has fired back, accusing the NAACP of spreading "hate and division." Because nothing says "unity" like calling peaceful protesters "thugs" or suggesting we nuke hurricanes. Trump, the self-proclaimed "least racist person," is clearly the victim here. I mean, how dare an organization founded to fight racial injustice not roll out the red carpet for a man whose entire political career has been a masterclass in dog whistles?

Meanwhile, the NAACP’s convention in Charlotte will proceed without the golden-tinted elephant in the room. Attendees can look forward to panels, workshops, and, most importantly, a Trump-free zone where no one has to explain why "very fine people on both sides" isn’t a great take.

So, to recap: The NAACP, tired of pretending that a man who retweets white supremacists is just "misunderstood," has finally drawn a line in the sand. And Trump? Well, he’ll just have to console himself with another round of golf and a fresh batch of conspiracy theories. Sad!
