Jim Brown: 'I Fell In Love With' Trump After Today's Meeting

NFL icon and civil rights leader Jim Brown, a former Hillary Clinton supporter, sang President-elect Trump's praises after meeting with him at Trump Tower earlier Tuesday, and predicted Trump would stay in office two terms.

"He's going to be our man for the next four years at least, probably eight, and he's amenable to listening to people who did not vote for him," Brown told CNN. "I fell in love with him because he really talks about helping African-American, black people and that's why I'm here."

The art of the deal. Trump wrote the book on it.

As expected, the carefully constructed narrative by the MSM that Donald Trump is a racist bigot is quickly crumbling now that people get to see how he really is.

This will be one of the great presidencies of our republic, following one of the most obtuse and ridiculous. From sea to shining sea.

It is nice to see that not all black men are addicted to hate. I expect #BLM to issue a statement any moment that not all #BLM.

For the first time, I haven’t seen Jim Brown as the angry, bitter, racist, that he normally portrays.

I believe Carson will be one of Trump’s most consequential appointments.

>>>following one of the most obtuse and ridiculous.<<<

Just as Reagan followed Carter.

Our national disasters as president opened the door for the people to put the man they truly believed would do the job and they were right!

It is when we have a status quo that worthless libtards and Rinos get to run for the office that makes the most difference regarding our future as a free nation.

So, in that regard I suppose we can appreciate Barry for that much. Fortunately with Carter we only had to suffer for 4 years.

I think Carson for the head of HUD was a great pick. Our inner cities are still screwed up. HUD does help in some ways. We have a lot of rehab projects that are whole city blocks.

The problem is generally demographics...and drugs...and crime. Graduation rates are 40%. Still a lot of problems and obviously Chicago is the example.

The Teddy Bears song: To Know Know Know Him is to Love Love Love Him. Or is that Connie Francis?

He said he would president to all the American people. He really meant it.

If Trump does what I expect him to do...

The majority of African Americans will vote for him in 4 years.

All large scale public housing needs to be torn down.

Nothing is worse than concentrating so many poor, uneducated and criminally prone people in one spot. It perpetuates the cycle.

Nobody who’s come out of one of those meetings with Trump has had anything but good things to say about him. Republicans, NeverTrumpers, democrats or ‘celebrity’. I’m still waiting for someone to say, after meeting him, that he’s ‘literally Hitler’ as so many said during the campaign.
