Trump's photo compared to MLK's in March on Washington's 60th birthday

Donald Trump and Martin Luther King Jr. have a lot in common, especially in their mugs – or so some on the right are saying…on this momentous day, no less.
Indeed, that's a comparison several conservatives have been making on Twitter over the past 24 hours -- which happens to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the march on Washington on Saturday, when MLK delivered its iconic “I Have”. a dream speech in D.C.

The reason so many right-wing figures suggest DT and MLK are one here, apparently, has to do with their appearance in police booking photos.
Clearly, Trump comes across as hot-tempered and defiant – and many suggest he echoes other iconic American figures throughout history…like Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin and, yes, even Dr. King. At least that's what Will Cain of FOX News said on Friday.
He was put down by FOX contributor Jessica Tarlov...who said what Trump is currently going through in the criminal justice system is not even close to what MLK is putting up with.
You might think this is a no-brainer, but it seems MANY Trump supporters rightfully believe he is a victim of political persecution…and a target of the Justice Department. That was undoubtedly true in Dr. King's case, but the jury mostly agrees with Trump.
