According to the Washington Times, the meeting took place in the White House Cabinet Room and included leaders from the black community, including Brewer, Diamond and Silk, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece Alveda King.

“I’ve been a Democrat all my life but I’m not a Democrat now, You’ve changed me. You touched me," says Brewer. "And you made my work go to another level. You inspire me. And every time I go into those prisons and I ask my guys how many of them had their sentences reduced and they raise their hands, I know I’m doing God’s work and I thank you for that.”

Before finishing, Brewer adds, “I’ve got to say this because it’s Black History Month. Man, you’re the first black president."

Trump responds with a laugh and a "Thank you."

Brewer played for the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Arizona Cardinals during his four year NFL career. 

President Trump is, in fact, not the “first black president." That honor goes to Barack Obama; however, Fox News notes that Brewer may have been referring to the “first black president” nickname President Bill Clinton maintained during his time in office.

LeBron James Ignites Social Media Ire Over Bill Clinton "First Black President" Remark

He also called Clinton the GOAT.

It was a presidential moment on Thursday (January 23) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Brooklyn Nets at home, but the real highlight for LeBron James was posing for pictures with former President of the United States Bill Clinton. The Lakers star wasn't the only person excited to shake hands with Clinton as Anthony Davis, Matt Barnes, Dwight Howard, Michael Strahan, Marv Albert, and many more cruised by to say hello.

We previously reported on Bron's reaction to meeting Clinton. “Between him and Barack (Obama), my presidents, guys that I’ve just admired, when Bill was in office and obviously when Barack in office,” James said, according to Jeff Zillgitt of USA TODAY Sports. “To be able to have a personal relationship with Barack and being able to go up to Bill and he knows me, it’s just surreal.”

Bron shared a photo of his moment with Clinton on his Instagram page, but not everyone was happy with his caption."19 “4️⃣2️⃣”. As Toni Morrison said 'The first black president'," the sports star wrote. "We appreciate you still to this day! Big Bill The ?!! ????❤️?." Of course, the first real black president was Barack Obama, and some people felt that he was taking away from the true accomplishment of the 44th president. Comments came in by the thousands, but check out a few reactions below.
