Donald Trump boasted about his presidential endorsement from Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist, registered sex offender, and an admitted drug addict and alcoholic, who once bit part of the ear off an opponent, brutalized at least one of his wives, and talked about wanting to eat children.
Really!
Here is an excerpt of Tyson’s endorsement of Trump:
“He should be president of the United States. That’s what he should be… Why are people mad at the people? Because this is who the people want to be president.”
Here’s Trump’s response:
“Mike Tyson endorsed me,” Trump said. “I love it. He sent out a tweet. Mike. Iron Mike. You know, all the tough guys endorse me. I like that, OK?
“But Mike said, ‘I love Trump. I endorse Trump.’ . . . We need toughness now. We need toughness.”
Trump said he had supported Tyson’s after his rape conviction, saying that “to a large extent” he was “railroaded.”
In July 2023, Trump was found guilty of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.
