Donald Trump Jr. Says President 'Isn't Very Good at Being Racist' Because He Let His Son Hang Out With Michael Jackson

In his new book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants To Silence Us, Donald Trump Jr. asserts that his father couldn't possibly be racist, because the president let his son spend time with Michael Jackson as a child.

"Given all the things my father has been called, particularly a 'racist,' it sure sounds odd that he'd let his son vacation with a black man or hang out with Michael Jackson, doesn't it?" the younger Trump observes. "If he's a racist, he's sure not very good at it."

In Triggered, Trump writes that he would play video games with Jackson when the pop star was a resident of Trump Tower, Bloomberg reported.

Ivana Trump also wrote of the family's relationship with Jackson in her 2017 book, Raising Trump, as The Washington Times pointed out. Addressing allegations of sexual assault against Jackson, the president's ex-wife wrote, "I never believed the accusations that he molested those kids. There's no way he could have hurt anyone."

The combination of having the Orange Narcissist as a father and Michael Jackson as a playmate is beyond weird.
