Did some digging and it turns out MLK died 48 years before the iconic red "Make America Great Again" hats were created for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campagin.

Further research shows Trump was 22 at the time of King's death, 13 yrs before he was legally eligible to run for President.

Fact check: "MLK didn't die of natural causes."

False: People are natural.

48 years before 2016

Tbf the Conservatives had "Make Great Britain great again" as a message in the General Election address speech given by Margaret Thatcher in 1950 so MLK could have given his opinion on the theme in some ways.

End of the first paragraph:

We Conservatives are not afraid to face the future whatever problem it entails, because it is our earnest desire to make Great Britain great again.
