Donald Trump and Michael Jackson: A history

During an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Trump compared himself to Michael Jackson. Did you know they were such good friends?

[aryakk]

Well Trump actually had MJ's back when many others failed to do so

[missfashionator]

yep, he was one of the only ones that actually stood up for Michael when he needed it the most, when all of his friends abandoned him

[julietterozier]

I don't really like Donald Trump, but i have to say, i'm glad he spoke the truth about MJ.

[naisi]

Trump stuck up for MJ when nobody else did during indictment. Very classy guy.

[nikasoloki]

I always loved Trump for defending MJ. He did it when others were bashing MJ.

[bambamovo]

I could actually feel he sincerely misses jackson at the last clip. not common of trump being emotional. very touchy.

[neverhillary]

Trump gain my respect. Jackson is my musical idol a gem of a performer.

[yootuber]

This is why I find it so hard to believe that Trump is some kind of hardcore racist. Anyone that can stick up for Mike is a defender of outsiders and people that are picked on.

[grownwoman]

Even trump likes Michael, I mean how can anyone hate him? He was a physical view of love care and joy I MISS HIM SO MUCH AND I LOVE HIM VERY VERY MUCH GOD BLESS HIS SOUL

[paulthompson]

It amazes me how some people still believe mj was guilty. Trumps support for mj should close all doubters for good, because there is no way Trump would support anyone like that. No way

[Ajnin]

People did treat Michael Jackson like shit.  It was ridiculous.

I wont support Trump as president, but I do respect the kindness he gave to Michael Jackson.

[anca]

How sweet. I'm so glad someone stood up for him

[ThePltsweet]

Well well, i'm not a fan of Trump but he was one of those who publicly defended Michael.

[flamesofzoroaster]

well now i love trump even more! glad to hear him speak so positively about my idol :)

[jayer]

he speaks his mind! transparency is needed in any government. he actually speaks nothing but the truth. i actually support this man

[michaeljacksonforever]

I hated Donald Trump but now I love him

[rickexcelarms]

Some so-called "friends" would have jumped ship.. but this shows mr.Trump was loyal to the very end for his friend, MJ. Amidst the troubles & stuff he was going through.
Loyal to the very end.
Respect
President Trump.

[fireboy]

Michael and trump good friend he was the only one that had Michael back when time got bad

[xtra]

He was not scared to defend MJ because he has power and money. Others were scared to speak up because they were scared they will loose this and that. Only few friends stood up for Michael..Great Job Donald trump for defending MJ.

Pains me to say, but on what he said about Michael, I’d have to agree with him on this one.
