Not sure how many people saw this and I didn't see it posted so I wanted it to get some visibility. The race hucksters are not happy about the meeting with Jim Brown and Ray Lewis. They are deathly afraid that Trump can make serious in roads into the black community. Obama is starting to feel like he is no longer the President (which is probably why he's yelling about Russia now) and interviews like this is probably a big part of that.
Obama didn’t like the new power rankings!
I like the winning but quickly tiring of our PEOTUS meeting with folks like Ray Lewis and Kanye West.
Donald Trump is trying to be the President of ALL the people, not just us.
It removes a very important tool from the liberal press toolbox - they cannot believably say that Trump is not consulting those who in their own opinion are qualified to speak on an issue. To do so eliminates more of their reputation and credibility. It also undermines more of their projections of Trump.
Excellent. We are hopefully looking at a 2-term presidency to fundamentally transform America into a great nation again.
Not to mention that he doesn’t have to take their advice or adopt their positions - but it’s a good idea to hear people out and see what they think. If nothing else, it cultivates an image of caring and open-mindedness. It also keeps your friends close and your enemies closer.
Best thing Trump can do is meet with EVERYONE. He doesn’t have to act on all their whims but as long as they talk and he listens, it’s a win.
I give you an F- on your test of political judgement.
Jim Brown is a gentleman and a scholar worthy of respect. Ray Lewis, not so much.
If only Jack Kemp was around to see his vision finally being actualized by Trump

Real conservatives can defend their ideas because they know they work. Liberals and nevertrumpers want to block and smash anyone that doesn’t agree with them. Only purists need apply. Oh no! Tillerson doesn’t agree with me on every single issue. Can’t have him. Gen Mattis said something about Israel and waterboarding I didn’t like..sorry Marines, we’ll get a congressman with a 100% ACU rating instead.
He's meeting with "people of color" who are well known in the Black community and having them sing his praises - very smart and effective and a big part of why we are getting all the winning....
“If only Jack Kemp was around to see his vision finally being actualized by Trump”
That’s a keen observation, very well noted ari-freedom.
Ray Lewis says that Jim Brown has been mentoring him for 7-8 years (IIRC).
Rays had problems.
Maybe he's trying to get his head straight.
Jim Brown has mentored many gangbangers to turn them around.
Maybe Ray is one of those?
I understand, but it beats going on talk shows or late night. The sad fact is, a lot of these people influence a lot of voters. These meetings serve the dual purpose of showing the public that Trump is someone who actually considers the opinion of “the opposition”, and prevents the MSM from whining that he doesn’t “respect” other viewpoints.
It is not for me to say . . . but if he is working with Jim Brown, then good for him. Jim Brown ranks right up there with Walter Peyton of one of the best NFL guys of all time. And I’m talking character, not playing ability.
He openly admits to being a Hillary supporter
BUT...
He says that Trump is the next President and as AMERICANS need to support him.
He was very encouraging after meeting with Trump.
He's a man with a mission and will work with whoever to get it accomplished, no matter the political party.
My views of Jim Brown went up immensely.
