Donald Trump: ' Al Sharpton Loves Me Because I Get Him'
Fire Andrea Mitchell ^ | 1/25/2016

Here's a tweet that may come back to haunt Donald Trump. Back in 2014, Trump tweeted about how he and Al Sharpton are BFFs. The Donald 'gets' Al Sharpton but others don't. Meaning Trump gets the race hustling, riot instigating Al Sharpton while us peasants don't. Unless this was a ploy to woo the black vote, being friends with the likes of Al Sharpton is nothing to be bragging about. The Donald should know this.

Can you spell F-R-A-U-D? Hey Hillary and Pelosi are his pals, why not Al? People are still falling all over this guy at their own peril.

It doesn’t take a genius to just PAY OFF the race-baiting mack daddy. Oh, and take him to dinner and then back to his apartment for some butt kissing. Guess that’s what a President Trump would do on a national scale — with MY money!

There is ALWAYS an excuse for Trump, isn’t there?

And what's the alternative for a businessman who employs several thousand? Bad publicity? Government fines? Damaged brand? There's lots of hills to die on but that's not one for a businessman.

Trump, in 2015, as a candidate for the Republican nomination, is for Affirmative Action.

Trump funded Sharpton back in the day. They were buds. They hung out together.

Trump will bring all people together. He will make deals. Good deals.

Trump loves Al. Al loves Trump.

They are the establishment

Thus is what America needs!!!!!!!!!

Your negative advertising on even FR isn’t working. Trump’s winning, even on FR. If he wins here imagine what it’s like outside our coffee klatch. Trump didn’t want to get Jesse Jacksoned on his job sites so he blew smoke up Sharpton’s kiester. The not a true conservative stuff doesn’t work. One of the most famous guys in the world knows some other famous NY people isn’t going to work. Trump ain’t Ken Starr and you guys, although tireless, ain’t Carville.

They’re both good at self promotion. So, yeah, they understand each other fairly well.

No, we’re just pointing out unpalatable truths about Trump.

And? Are there still a bunch of places that say "Trump" all over them? Are there still thousands of employees that get hired and paid? I mean find reasons to hate Trump but this is just about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Find a picture of Trump with (FILL IN THE BLANK). Find a quote where Trump says SO AND SO is my best friend. And then proceed to make up some story about what Trump will do when he's in the white house. Crazy town.

Some of you have no idea how NYC works. The fact that this Tweet is a thread proves this fact.

I’m not excusing him. I’m comparing his distasteful friendship with Sharpton to friendship with a pedophile.

It has to get tiring for you guys to constantly justify accepting statements and behaviors from your current candidate that you never would have accepted from any previous candidate you supported.

What effing nonsense! Your contention is that nobody can do business in NYC without figuratively rubbing Al Sharpton’s knob? Good God what has happened to this site?!

And?

And what?

I said Trump, in 2015, as a candidate for the Republican nomination, is for Affirmative Action.

I don't think that's a good thing.

And yet it surprisingly turns out to be a controversial position for at least one person here on FreeRepublican.

I would say Trump’s Al Sharpton offsets Cruz’s Glenn Beck.

Are you serious? I don't know whether Trump is for or againt it but it's a fricking law for certain employers and I'm betting Trump is one of them. http://www.dol.gov/general/topic/hiring/affirmativeact)

I don't know what you expect? Have his companies break federal laws? Have his businesses fined out of existence?
