President Trump on Thursday condemned the reported attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, which is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
“That I can tell you is horrible. It doesn't get worse,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Smollett has said two men approached him on Tuesday and hit him while yelling racist and homophobic slurs, then placed a rope around his neck. The incident has drawn national attention.
TMZ reported Tuesday that the two suspects referenced Trump’s 2016 “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) campaign slogan during the alleged ambush, yelling, “This is MAGA country.”
"We can not confirm what the offenders stated," a Chicago Police Department spokesman said when asked about any MAGA-related language in the incident.

“He should have waited to comment on this. It is smelling like a hoax.”
I’m guessing he knows this. By making the comments he raises the temperature on the whole thing forcing the truth out.
"...it is not a mark of respect..."
If it’s an activist queer, of course it is a hoax. 99.999% certain.
As usual, this is just too formulaic to be legitimate. The fags sure do lack originality in their lies.
Wrong.
I am calm, thank you.
I guess you never see the Leftards going crazy with condescension and insults at “Donnie”.....
Obviously you will do as you please, I merely stated my opinion. But at best, “-ie” endings to names are usually diminutive, childish, condescending. Only a term of endearment for children. Anyone knows this.
It’s a hate crime alright...just not in the venue they’re trying to sell it.
He’s talking about the gay actor LYING:-)
He was smart to say it was horrible. He can always change that if the truth turns out to be otherwise. If he withholds such a comment, then he feeds the narrative. If it turns out to be a hoax, he can make a scathing comment on twitter, drawing more attention to it than the media will.
Trump is smarter than you. Much smarter. If Trump had flat out discredited the incident and called it fake and then a video surfaced which showed two possible suspects matching the alleged victims description, then what?
????
Looks like he’s not cooperating with the police investigation.

It doesn’t get worse:
If the attack actually happened as reported by the Victim.
-OR-
If the entire thing was made up by the supposed Victim to smear a certain group of people. We all know what group of People I am referring to.
Either way the POTUS is covered.
