The well known boxing promoter Don King was recently asked for his thoughts on the 2024 election and if he had a message for Trump.
He responded, ‘Get reelected.’ He went on to say, ‘We must reelect him to save ourselves.’
Love him or hate him, Don King is an icon and he certainly understands what’s at stake in the election.
RedState has more:
The 92-year-old legendary boxing promoter on Wednesday endorsed former President Donald Trump to become future President Donald Trump in November.
Like Trump, King has never been afraid to speak his exact mind.
Referring to the former president as “the only man who’s got the intestinal fortitude to be able to stand up and fight the system like it should be fought,” King’s endorsement of Trump was unequivocal.

never figured him for a repub voter- he was always so sleazy acting-
His soul has been dead for decades.
I like the endorsement because every little bit helps but I was never a fan of the guy.
“After dropping out of Kent State University, he ran an illegal bookmaking operation out of the basement of a record store on Kinsman Road and was charged with killing two men in incidents 13 years apart. The first was determined to be justifiable homicide after it was found that King shot Hillary Brown in the back and killed him while he was attempting to rob one of King’s gambling houses in 1954. In 1967, King was convicted of second-degree murder for the second killing after he was found guilty of stomping to death an employee, Sam Garrett, who owed him $600.”
King supported Bush in 2004, 0bama in 2008 and 2012, and Trump in 2016.
lol. I wouldn’t want his endorsement.
He’s a scam artist and always has been. He stole millions from dumb fighters and a scumbag to his core.
He’s not an asset.
thanks i didnt know that-
I thought he was some sort of celebrity among some segment of sports fan or something and that the general public doesn’t know who he is or doesn’t care about him one way or the other, in other words microscopic gain for black cred and no loss.
I doubt those folks vote in significant numbers.

Hey Liz, Great to see this pic of Don King! A few times I was in Vegas for tech industry conferences. On afternoon I’m walking past a gazillion slot machines and there he was directly in front walking the same direction. I had a back view of his Star Spangled outfit, gold and silver glitter everywhere. And there in each hand he was waving small Old Glories at the crowd he was passing through. I never saw his face. The crazy hair and outfit were enough to recognize the King. Cool performance from a real patriot. Thanks, Don. You’re terrific in your eccentricity and love of AMERICA!
Good story.
I can’t think of one OTOH, but it seems that they had to do business together.
Trump casinos hosted a lot of fights and King was obv active at the same time.
It surprised me as well that he is still alive.
Don King is 92 years ago old? He is obviously much more mentally fit than Dementia Joe.
This feels like a trap.
Not acting. He’s a sleaze bag. Probably the most corrupt person in the history of boxing. Which is saying a lot given how corrupt boxing has been over the decades.
