Trump, Don King and Sharpton were great pals back in the day.

Yes, Al Sharpton and Donald Trump hung around together, were buddies, went to fights etc...

If Trump calls Sharpton “My good friend”, like Hannity, he’ll lose me.

Yeah, I Suppose King might be a little like Trump except that Trump never stomped a man to death. But aside from that, yeah...
