The strange-bedfellows truism of American politics was all but redefined Tuesday when Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump – currently taking fire from his own party for the support he's getting from the Ku Klux Klan – got a salute from Louis Farrakhan, longtime leader of the Nation of Islam.
....Speaking at the black nationalist organization's annual Savior's Day in Chicago, Farrakhan told parishioners that he admires Trump because he believes the celebrity billionaire's purportedly self-funded presidential campaign isn't taking money from the "Jewish community."

Will Ryan and Reid denounce the Nation of Islam as a hate group? Will a parade of congressional members, black and white, hold hasty, contrite press conferences?
and, the sixty-four-thousand dollar question is, Will hundreds of editorials be written demanding the NOI flag be relegated to a museum?
or is this just another false-flag, throw the kitchen sink at him, attack on Trump?
“Politics makes strange bedfellows”.
Next comes Kim Jung Un’s endorsement.
attention CNN! and Paul Ryan, GOP House Speaker! Are you going to try to force Trump to disavow Farrakhan and black supremacist groups?
We thought so
(crickets)
Oh, PUHLEEZE!!!
Calipso Louie is “endorsing” Trump in order to hurt him. No way, no how does this enemy of America want Trump to be the POTUS - he wants Hillary, who will continue to ignore what he’s doing.
FALSE FLAG OPERATION UNDERWAY!!!!
According to Michael Medved today this proves Trump is a racist, supported by both white and black racists.
Don’t fall for this crap! Go Trump!
that would be delivered via Dennis Rodman, who actually is a Trump protégé of sorts
perhaps Trump’s future US ambassador to North Korea
Would he do it if they did?
By the way the number tonite is 248!
“Would he do it if they did?”
I wouldn’t. I’d hope for an endorsement and let the media reconcile it with their phony kkk claims. Maybe at Trump’s press conference tonight, calypso louie, will be a guest.
I am not surprised at all that Farrakhan likes Trump.
I want a president that all groups feel good about and who understands that he/she is president of all 300 million of us - including those I disagree with. If Trump were to say “I like what I’m looking at” when he sees Farrakhan or the KKK, I’d have a problem.
If Farrakhan or the KKK or anyone else does something wrong, I expect any president to go after them. If the don’t do anything wrong, I don’t want the president sicing the IRS or FBI or anyone else on them.
I’d like to see Trump come out and say “I disagree with Farrakhan’s ideology, especially with respect to the Jewish Community but am glad to have his support, hope everyone votes for their preferred candidate, and I am determined to make all 300 million CITIZENS proud to have me as a president whether they vote for me or not”
Every time I swear this election couldn't get any weirder, it does.
Every vote for Trump today is a vote for Hillary. The Clintons, DNC and MSM are going to tear him apart. And it won’t be close.
Everyone at FR is either naïve or gullible... trying to decide which.
People have taken leave of their senses.
Ok. Thanks for playing Skippy.
Farrakhan should make up his mind.
Just two months ago, he did a video telling his followers that Trump would lead the country into the Abyss of Hell.

Gee...isn’t that one of Donald Trump’s ties he’s wearing? ;-)
Who knew? Trump could bring David Duke and Farrakhan together?
Now that’s building a coalition!!!!
With sugar daddy, Qaddafi gone the Reverend has to get money from somewhere.
GOPe is good a place as any, I suppose.
