 Trump: I have great respect for Martin Luther King

US President Donald Trump said he would never remove the bust of famous leader - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr from the Oval Office.

"They said it was very interesting that Donald Trump took down the bust, the statue, of Dr Martin Luther King and it was right there. There was a cameraman that was in front of it. So Zeke [Miller], Zeke from Time magazine writes a story about ‘I took down’. I would never do that, because I have great respect for Dr. Martin Luther King," Trump said.

The confusion started on Inauguration Day after a reporter, Zeke Miller, said that the bust of King was no longer in the main office of the president.

The reporter later apologized and corrected himself by tweeting that the King bust was still there, and that it had just been obscured by an agent and door.

Soon after, Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer tweeted a photo of King’s bust, attributing it to Reince Priebus, Trump’s chief of staff, the Mirror reports.
