Jose Andres is a world-renowned chef who is aggressive in his actions and unafraid to speak his mind when he sees a wrong. He pulled his restaurant out of Trump International Hotel in protest of racist comments Trump made about Mexicans. After the Trump administration showed a lack of proper assistance to help Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, Chef Andres organized the World Central Kitchen to prepare meals there for those in need -- and has continued the charity organization ever since.
During the first round of the NFL draft, Trump sent out a tweet congratulating the second selected player -- a young white man, Nick Basso, who had previously made insulting comments about Colin Kaepernick and kneeling for the National Anthem -- all the while ignoring the first player picked, a young black man Kyler Murray.
(By the way, perhaps no one on his staff told Trump but it's worth noting that the other day Nick Basso apologized for his comments about Kaepernick, said he was just a young kid and had done a lot of growing, adding -- "I respect what he's done. If it empowers anybody, then he's doing a good thing.")
Here is Trump's tweet and the response from Jose Andres.

Congratulations to @TheKylerMurray on being picked number one in the @NFLDraft . You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big talent! @AZCardinals will embrace but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. YOU MAKE AMERICA GREAT! https://t.co/TXZSSZFHcI
