Your support makes all the difference.Donald Trump likes Jay Z. Oh, oh, he does, he does. Yes, he does. Nice guy. He likes Beyonce too! Great woman. She’s still a 10. Not like Heidi Klum. But he does have one problem with Jay Z.
When the rapper and one-half of one of the most influential couples in the world took to the stage in Cleveland to endorse Hillary Clinton, he gave a measured address about what the outcome of this election means to him.
“I don’t have any ill will toward him, but his conversation is divisive,” Jay Z told the crowd. “He cannot be my president. He cannot be our president.”
Then he performed "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" and included all of the expletives and the n-word.
The unimpressed Republican nominee told a rally in Tampa, Florida, that the rapper had used “used every word in the book last night.” Shame.
“I actually like Jay Z, but you know the language last night. Oh, oh. I was thinking maybe I’ll just try it, should I use that language if — can you imagine if I said that?
“He used language last night that was so bad, and then Hillary said, ‘I did not like Donald Trump’s lewd language'.
“My lewd language. - I tell you what, I’ve never said what he said in my life. But that shows you the phoniness of politicians and the phoniness of the whole system, folks."
“I won’t even use the initials because I’ll get in trouble,” Mr Trump added. “They’ll get me in trouble.”
Erm.
“I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t**s and everything.”
Hmm.
Er...?
....
(This video contains very offensive language)
It seems Mr Trump and his wife Melania are quite the team for delivering speeches laden with glaring irony.
