In addition to tweeting, Trump also remembered King by visiting his memorial "for about two minutes," according to the Huffington Post.
King's son, Martin Luther King III, also condemned Vice President Mike Pence for quoting his father's famous "I have a dream" speech while talking about the border wall.
