Remember When Donald Trump Endorsed Eminem (Slim Shady) for President?
An article at Vice.com last year, after Eminem had released an 8-minute anti-Trump song, remembered the video showing Trump endorsing Slim Shady for president in 2004:

The video below shows Trump introducing Eminem at the 2004 Shady National Convention, a TRL-era relic of a media event where Eminem ran for fake president to promote Encore or something like that. It's nothing short of disturbing in 2016 to hear Trump scream "I'm Donald Trump, I'm always right!" to a crowd of cheering fans, although Eminem's speech isn't too dissimilar from Trump's appearances this year. Does that mean Trump was Giuliani to Em's Donald? Perhaps. Is this comparison a reach? Definitely. Watch Trump's endorsement of the Slim Shady administration below.
It's a 38-minute video, but if you click on the video it'll start about 6 minutes in, with Trump's endorsement of Slim Shady.
