Mike Tyson predicts ‘Trump will win’ midterms

Former professional boxer Mike Tyson popped up at the White House on Friday, briefly speaking to reporters in the West Wing briefing room and pledging support for President Trump.

Tyson told reporters he was asked by the White House to travel with Trump to Syracuse, N.Y., for a rally the president is slated to host there.

The boxer laughed when journalists in the briefing room asked him what he and Trump planned to talk about and prompted a White House staffer to jokingly interject “no tough questions,” as people in the room laughed.

Asked how Republicans would fare in the midterm elections, Tyson responded, “I think Donald Trump will win.”

Trump has been traveling nearly every day to various states around the country to rally support for the GOP, in some cases traveling with notable sports figures like former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens and current members of the Baltimore Ravens.

Tyson and Trump’s friendship goes back years, and crews for an upcoming Netflix documentary about his life reportedly traveled to the White House recently to speak with the president about the boxer’s career and their friendship.

Their history stretches to the 1980s. As a businessman, Trump served as Tyson’s business adviser and later defended the boxer before and after he was convicted of rape in 1992. Trump later appeared among several celebrities at Tyson’s first fight after he was released from prison — against Peter McNeeley in 1995.

If Mike Tyson says so ....

I ‘ear Tyson has taken a few too many blows to the head.

[jacknhoo]

I believe we will win the midterms. There is a movement and I think many doomsayers will be shocked at the outcome.

" Mike Tyson predicts ‘Trump will win’ midterms"

I'll sleep better knowing Iron Mike says so.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Please be advised the man is a modern day intellectual. One of his quotes:

Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.

[Jamestown1630]

I’m a fan. He’s a fellow pigeon fancier; and people don’t really know who he is inside.

We’re all created by our personal histories, both good and bad; and that’s as true of Tyson as anyone.

[real saxophonist]

Trump's been friends with Mike Tyson and the late George Foreman for years. I don't get why people call him racist. Just a pejorative, they don't even know what it means.

Of course, they don't know what "pejorative" means, either.

[Bobbyvotes]

You mean there will be scenes on TV similar to when leading in polls Hillary lost in 2020? Problem is I have only one bottle of whisky I bought 5 years ago, and I do not buy more alcohol anymore.

Have you ever watched or listened to him in a interview ?

Most people don’t realize that Muhammad Ali was a Reagan supporter.

I have. He can be incredibly polished when he wants to.
I was amazed.

Wanna trash the others or just Tyson? What a creepy thing to say 2nd...

Normal Republicans are in a tough spot. Both the Left and the Horseshoe Right are actively working together to have the Dems take over all of Congress. I don’t think there is any way we keep the house. We have a much better chance of keeping the Senate, which will be huge. If we retain the Senate Trump may get to appoint two more SCOTUS Justices, which is all I really want.
