Trump Supporter Don King Has A Message For 'Every White Woman'

Prior to speaking at a predominantly black church in Cleveland on Wednesday, Republican nominee Donald Trump was introduced by boxing promoter Don King.

In his introduction, King told the crowd that Trump believes in “inclusiveness.”

He went on to say, “When the system was created … the white woman did not have the rights, and she still don’t have the rights. And people of color don’t have their rights. … Donald Trump says no, we’re going back to inclusiveness. Everybody counts. … Every white woman should cast their vote for Donald Trump.”

To date, the idea of Trump as president has not been well received by the majority of white women. His campaign is striving to change this.

He is also trailing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton among black voters.

King called Trump a champion of all people, particularly African-Americans, and added he is the only candidate capable of rebuilding government.

“Why would I undertake the task … and distinct honor to present to you the next president of the United States is because he’s fearless. He’s courageous and brave and bold enough to take on the system,” said King.

King referred to the system as the enemy and not Donald Trump.

Following King’s introduction, Trump commented, “There’s only one Don King.”

He went on to say, “I don’t want to say that he’s a good guy because I don’t want to destroy his reputation, but he is a good guy.” Trump added, “He’s a phenomenal person. He became very rich, he’s very smart, he took advantage of lots of situations — I have respect for that and I have great respect for him.”

King will accompany Trump Wednesday as he travels to other cities in Ohio.

The Trump campaign wanted King to speak at the Republican National Convention in July; however, the leaders of the party would not allow it because King served four years in prison for a manslaughter conviction.

Speaking to reporters in July, King said, “I’m not speaking because Reince Priebus is still thinking he don’t like black people.” He added, “I have less than a damn about what Reince Priebus thinks, especially when he’s so antiquated.”
