Louis Farrakhan on Donald Trump: 'I Like What I’m Looking At'

The strange-bedfellows truism of American politics was all but redefined Tuesday when Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump – currently taking fire from his own party for the support he's getting from the Ku Klux Klan – got a salute from Louis Farrakhan, longtime leader of the Nation of Islam.

Meanwhile, a public-opinion survey released Tuesday found that voters want Trump to pick retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, this cycle's lone African American presidential candidate and one who is polling in the single digits, as his running mate.

Speaking at the black nationalist organization's annual Savior's Day in Chicago, Farrakhan told parishioners that he admires Trump because he believes the celebrity billionaire's purportedly self-funded presidential campaign isn't taking money from the "Jewish community."

"[Trump] is the only member who has stood in front of [the] Jewish community and said, 'I don't want your money,'" Farrakhan told his followers Sunday at the Mosque Maryam in Chicago, according to the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization.

Don't believe the lazy corpmedia's conclusion that Farrakhan represents the left, he doesn't and never has…..he was one of RevMoon's most committed tools.

And we all know the long and deep connections between Moon and BushInc.

Don't be played.

It far outweighs any noble intentions one may have. Couple hate with prejudice and you have a nearly unstoppable force. Thank you Donald, Louis, David, and all you Trump voters and a special welcome to Brotha Chris, our latest mascot.

Will this nation swirl down the toilet and elect Trump as its president?

This "endorsement" will carry little weight, but it will have some.
