I had never heard of Terrence K. Williams.
He identifies himself as a comedian.
I assumed he was a comedian because why would a black man support a white-supremacist like Donald Trump unless it was for laughs?
Here is an example of Williams’ humor:
After Trump friend Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in jail awaiting charges on sex-trafficking charges, Williams tweeted that Bill and Hillary Clinton were behind Epstein’s death.
Williams was serious.
There was no truth behind the tweet – yet Trump retweeted it.

Referring to Williams, Trump described him as “a very highly respected conservative pundit. He’s a big Trump fan.”
“That was a retweet. That was from him, it wasn’t from me,” continued Trump, who has recently retweeted QAnon and Pizzagate accounts. “But he’s a man who has half a million followers. A lot of followers, and he’s respected … so I think I was fine.”
Vox News responded that there is no evidence that Williams — “who describes himself on Twitter as ‘Actor-Comedian-Commentator’ — is respected.”
In fact, Vox added, before Trump retweeted him, Williams was most recently in the news for making racist jokes during an appearance on Fox News that were so offensive, the interview abruptly ended.
“Shortly after puffing up Williams as something he’s not,” Vox said, “Trump suggested there’s some merit to the conspiracy theory he spread” — one that contradicts the conclusion of Trump’s Department of Justice that Epstein died by “apparent suicide.”
