Donald Trump seems to have a propensity for talking about historic figures as if they were still alive today. Take for instance the president's Black History Month speech, where he made it seem like Frederick Douglass was a civil rights newbie with a promising career ahead of him.This week, Donald Trump spoke at a women's empowerment panel and gave some of our nation's greatest figures, Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman, the same treatment. At one point, he lauded Anthony and asked the women in the room if they had ever heard of her.Thursday night on Desus & Mero, the hosts discussed Trump's strange speech and how he would really feel about Harriet Tubman if she actually were around today.
