Shame JJ did not call out the repeated and malicious accusations made about Donald Trump being racist. It would have shown a degree of loyalty from JJ for maybe a lapsed friendship that he greatly benefited from.
Backed JJ financially twice for his runs for president.
Did trump put the flag at half mass for Jesse Jackson I don’t recall
Street smart? I wonder why? 🤔
That’s a heartfelt speech. Very sincere as well.
