Turn Down For What Now? Trump Is Not Getting Away With Saying 'I Don't Know Who Lil Jon Is' | TIME

"IDK who Little John is."
"He was on The Apprentice."
"Oh ok, you mean Uncle Tom."

[zoosavage]

"I don't know who little Jon is " 🤣🤣

[Powerman]

I don't know who Lil John is (or don't remember him). Oooooh, crime of the century. TIME sucks as bad as CNN.

[groovygrapegramma]

YAHOO.. Trump doesn't know who Lil Jon is🤣

[NoOne-iith]

People who point out trump’s lies and divisive comments are causing the division?

[pedroparkero]

I hit that dislike button like 20 times and nothing happened maybe TIME should look into that instead.

[coorslite]

Who the hell cares if he doesn't know who a rap artist is from the early 2000's He prob called him by his real name and forgot.

[TheMrChipmyster]

I don’t know who lil Jon is either. Why is that such an issue?

[jeanettezook]

If Trump doesn't know who "little Jon is", it's because as persons mature and get older, rappers are just not on our high priority list.

[RitchieRosson]

Anyone notice his words are sounding a bit slurred?

[rumbleshakes]

I like how TIME said, "Turn Down For What Now?" as a joke to insult Trump. So edgy. When did TIME lose their credibility? See what I did there? I made the question into a fact.

[ronbarnes]

This president never takes the blame for his stupid actions

[BabyGreedTheHedgehog_MegaLifeF]

0:48 lol Yes sure.

You need to go back to school.

I like this.

[KleWdSide]

"Single digits!"

LMAO, touche. We know full-well that Dump didn't like that.

[drt-abrat]

He's having ANOTHER "senior moment"!!!

[leonrider]

If Yahoo gets hacked, we know who to blame

[thl]

Trump brought up the Apprentice n-word tapes, they’re definitely out there in some producer’s vault 😮

[thatcandleguy]

What are the qualifications for running for president or literally any seat in office besides a popularity vote?? whats the point of it all?

[Kreor]

1) How is it that you take hearsay as evidence? And then consider it "news" worthy. Enough to fight to say it.
2) I don't understand how people in the comments don't see this obvious slander.
-- if someone came up to you on the street and said "3 people said you said racist things in your past" would you start questioning whether you're a racist or not? Especially if you don't think you said those things.
The obvious answer is No.
-- Yet most people in the comments are taking it as if they witnessed Trump saying it.
-- Have you not learned within the past 10 months that you can't Blindly Trust the media and it's "reporters"?

If Trump used any divisive language racist, it would be on tape ! Show us the tape !
