Trump told CNN’s Anderson Cooper his thoughts on Jackson toward the end of CNN’s town hall segment with the NY billionaire, when Cooper asked what his favorite kind of music was.
Jackson later took issue with TMZ, clarifying that he never said Trump and his brother were not friends.
“He was an unbelievably talented guy”. According to The Wrap, Trump said Jackson’s career suffered in his later years because of a lack of confidence brought about by bad plastic surgery.
“Friends” don’t pay tribute by peddling b.s. theories about Michael’s “loss in confidence'”, Jackson tweeted. “This fool Trump needs to sit down”.
Jackson went on to accuse Trump of name-dropping brother Michael’s name in an effort to attract more votes in the upcoming US presidential elections. Dr. Conrad Murray served about two years of a four-year sentence and was released. “Facially, you know, the plastic surgeons. Especially when using botched facts”, he tweeted.
“He actually got married – you know, Lisa Marie Presley, the whole big deal at Mar-a-Lago – they were in the tower”.
Added Trump, “And when you lose your confidence in something you can even lose your talent”.
‘And when you lose your confidence in something you can even lose your talent’.
And now the business mogul has set his sights on the late pop star Michael Jackson, whom he called a “very good friend” but one who “lost tremendous confidence” due to “bad, bad, bad surgery”.

Meanwhile, as reported on the Inquisitr, Donald Trump has been upsetting other high-profile people, including Pope Francis, after he initially termed the Pope’s comments about him as being “disgraceful”. Trump has not responded to Jermaine. The singer’s publicist released a statement saying: “Adele has not given permission for her music to be used for any political campaigning”.
