Don King on Donald Trump

In his continued outreach to Black voters, Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump (R-NY) visited a predominantly Black church in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.  Trump was introduced by boxing entrepreneur and former Celebrity Apprentice contestant Don King.



Don King's positioning as warm up for Trump at a Church was about as egregious as another Celebrity Apprentice alum, Mike Tyson.  King made some controversial soundbites in his introduction.

King certainly generated some attention to Trump's trip to the New Spirit Revival Center but it is uncertain if a star studded event will have a discernible effect on Election 2016. Trump is only polling at 3% among African American voters.  But the Obama electorate garnered heavy support from that constituency.  Mrs. Clinton has to hope that much of that historic support for the first Black President transfers to votes for the first woman President in key swing states like Ohio and Florida.

Clay Aiken on Donald Trump

American Idol 2 runner up and failed 2014 Democrat congressional candidate (D-NC 2nd) Clay Aiken has shown quite a soft spot in his heart for Donald Trump.  After all, Aiken appeared on twenty episodes of The Celebrity Apprentice (in which he again was the runner up).  In addition, Aiken's mom is also supporting "The Donald".

But Aiken's interview with Stuart Varney on Fox Business Network offered an unvarnished opinion on the Manhattan Mogul who is running as the front-runner for the Republican Presidential nomination.

Aiken's assessment has an air of honesty. This sort of assessment differs from the corterie of celebrity endorsements of Donald Trump, like the assist from Dennis Rodman (who also is good friend of Kim Jong-un)
