"Sharpton and Trump forged an unlikely friendship over Atlantic City boxing deals that has lasted for decades, through ups and downs. Even as the Tawana Brawley scandal unfolded and Sharpton faced a 67-count indictment involving how he used funding for his youth organization, Trump remained a prominent supporter of the agitator, numerous sources close to the two men tell National Review."

Interesting article that shows the graft game that Trump plays with politicos.

[uncitizen]

National Review? Nah thanks I’ll pass.

[reegs]

Yep, ignore the facts and shoot the messenger. Typical.

[longfellow]

This guy makes too many deals with the wrong people

[patq]

This will help win the African American vote in the general. Thanks!

The messenger is biased. The messenger has an agenda. Thus i choose to not waste time reading what they’re putting out.

"One source close to Sharpton estimates that over the years, Trump gave him anywhere between $20,000 and $150,000 for the National Youth Movement and his activism."

Reagan was friends with Tip O’Neil....big whoop

Another pathetic hit piece from the National Review...

[reegs]

So, the Trump gets the thumbs-up after contributing to the Clinton Foundation, praising Obama and Pelosi, claiming to be chummy with Chuck Schumer, but Newt Gingrich got slammed for having his picture taken with Nancy Pelosi. I just want to make sure I have your double-standards straight.

[reegs]

Was Reagan sliding cash under the table to O’Neil?

[chae]

Totally not a Trump supporter, but he was snuggling up next to her on a couch in a commercial.

[fungoking]

I read here in FR that Trump's lifetime of liberalism doesn't matter because for the last couple of months he's said mean things about Hillary. And that guarantees that he'll be a conservative President and make good SC picks.

[yuleeyahoo]

In this case, the messenger is the message.

[nickcarraway]

Crazy comparison. Reagan had to work with O’Neill as president and he was a friendly guy. He was involved with him before.

[nickcarraway]

One of Al Sharpton campaign advisors, Roger Stone, is an advisor to trump.

[Proud2BeRight]

You would think the NY liberal Trump would be the perfect Democrat candidate.

[reegs]

So, you don’t believe Trump was making large donations to Sharpton’s organization? Trump has admitted to playing this game. Facts don’t matter, I guess. SMDH.

[reegs]

Trump supporter when confronted with facts about "The Donald."

Establishment.......
