Don Trump Jr. claims Black men tell him 'You're my hero' — X users laugh
Donald Trump Jr. claims Black men frequently approach him to say he's their hero in a Rumble interview that spurred more than a few raised eyebrows on X Monday night.
Trump Jr. spoke on his show " Triggered" with guest Scott Presler about the challenges of bringing the conservative vision to Black Americans in "urban environments."
The former president son's professed himself shocked at "the amount of African-American men that have come up to me and are literally like, ‘Hey man, you’re my hero.’
"I really did not have that in my bingo card."
The clip quickly popped up on X, where social media users speedily noted their agreement with the second half of his statement.
@TrophyKingston put his doubt in the form of a question, as one does on the quiz show "Jeopardy!"
"I'll take 'Things that never happened in any lifetime' for $1000," he wrote.
"Yeah," added @ IvanasStairCam. "That happens to elite racist white boys all day long."
Don Linn had a question: "They don't call you, 'Sir', Junior?"
"Adding the 'hey man' was an authentic touch," @cp8_formerGOP wrote. "Seems legit."
