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.

O’Reilly used to have Sharpton on his program every other week AND I believe a major (cough) news station MSNBC has Sharpton on as a legitimate program host.

Oh, and Obama and Hillary hang with him.

So now that Trump says something Sharpton is evil?

Bottom line, everyone knows Sharpton is a hustler.

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.

Are you seriously trying to be objective?

This isn't about Trump the employer. How many times do I have to say that. Trump as a presidential candidate was asked if he is for Affirmative Action, and he said YES!

That's not a good thing.

My hypothetical scenario is no less plausible than your own — based, as they are, on Trump’s ACTUAL behavior. Photos and direct quotes are stubborn facts.

Really? Are you not getting this? He says "No" and then what happens? Some enterprising reporter (or disappointed freeper) says "Trump Lies About Affirmative Action!" Look his companies comply with Affirmative action so he must be for it!.

I'm done here. You keep up the good fight to slay invisible dragons.

>> Some of you have no idea how NYC works.

I think I actually have a pretty fair idea how NYC works.

But whether I do or don’t I know one thing very clearly:

I DO NOT WANT MY *COUNTRY* TO WORK LIKE NEW YORK CITY!

What's more realistic..that Trump allows someone to screw him over? Or that Trump does everything in his power to gain the upper hand?

So what you are saying is that Trump must be lying to the reporter for political purposes, and you are fine with that...

The late great, fondly remembered Will Rogers once said, “I never met a man I didn’t like.”

I think Trump is somewhat that way. Granted, once someone backstabs him and gets on his crap list, they’re held in disfavor....for a while. But I see a forgiving side of Trump. After he retaliates for someone’s unkind action, I sense he isn’t big on holding grudges. He lets by-gones be by-gones.

I heard you. Do you think that Ted Nugent is known as a pedophile? Ted is known as a fierce defender of gun rights. If Nuge supported Trump, you guys would have no problem.
What is Sharpton known for? Racism and intimidation. And yet, just like Clinton did with the phony Jefferson/Hemmings story, you glom on to it to suggest moral equivalence.

Are you kidding? Trump funds projects that employ thousands of people, deals with unions and local politicians and other personalities such as Sharpton. How do you think Fat Al has stayed relevant for so long? It’s easier to pay him off than to go to battle with him. Trump was a master at it.

Who wants America to look like NYC? Not me, and I LIVE here!

People don't get that Trump is playing them. People are fed up with career politicians and they are showing the two parties that they don't want NYC and Hollywood to run the country anymore. Very ironic that they are supporting a guy from NYC to prove the point.

Trump could say that my companies meet all current affirmative action requirements. And as president, I will do everything within my powers to change the laws, to stop affirmative action, because it's wrong.

Not to complicated, really.

You keep up the good fight to slay invisible dragons.

No, you keep burying your head in the sand.

...that Trump sucks up to Sharpton and pays him off for a perceived advantage to Trump himself? At whatever cost to “the little guy” that THE DEAL and WINNING!!! requires?

Oh, yeah... I can believe THAT one. At the federal level. In other words, with Sharpton as his African American Affirmative Action dinner buddy, President Trump’s screwing of white America will look a whole lot like Obola’s.

But so what? WINNING!!!

Well, that’s it. How dare Trump.

Can’t vote for anyone who doesn’t hate all non conservatives.
