Every single time there’s someone in the news for raping someone, it seems Trump is right there saying the rapist is a good person.
At some point you have to start wondering about his morals.
The more I learn about this trump guy, the less I care for him.
You know what, I am also starting to get the inclination that this president fellow is not a good person.

There is a whole set of files dedicated to this sort I'd thing.
It's unusual this time because the rapist is black.
I knew he was a senile old cheat after he threw that fight with the suicide forest guy.

He also predicted he wouldn’t get his ass kicked by a YouTuber but here we are.
I’m not really a boxing guy, but I did watch that fight out of curiosity. I’m pretty sure Tyson threw the fight. They played it up enough to look like he was trying but the videos of him getting ready for the match were so different than what happened in the ring. I really believe it was fixed to allow Paul to win and that, if allowed to just be a real fight, Tyson would have annihilated Paul despite the age difference.
He was managed by don king or whatever, whom did fix fights. So it tracks.
Oh boy, Tyson must be a pedophile. God damn there are too many of them in this country.
He is a convicted rapist
He served three years in prison.
It’s all the CTE’s Tyson racked up. His brain may as well be a baked potato.
It's so weird how getting brain damage seems to make someone a conservative.

It's already been proven that brain injuries can make a person into a MAGAt moron. I mean look at fetterman.
Mike Tyson's political analysis is something I never thought I'd read about.
Too many blows to the head.
Tyson's never been a genius, particularly with all the beating his brain has taken. Why does his opinion matter again?
because MAGA folks POW BAM KAPOW stroooong 🇲🇾🤜🎇

What a fucking idiot. How does a president “win midterms”.
The only win trump would get would be not going to prison. If that’s the case, then this is just an admission that they know he’s a fucking criminal.
lol who's gonna put him in prison? Democrats?
If that's your bar for him winning, he already won.
He loses if he loses his majority in congress. If he keeps it, he wins. Simple enough.
Didn’t realize Tyson was an asshole, but then again I knew he was an intuitive.
He's a multi time rapist, womanizer, abusive POS.
He's the classic tough guy that a lot of young POC look up to unfortunately. He's definitely not your "normal" slimy Republican stereotype, but Trump has cast quite the wide net of fascism and conservativism. A lot of people who would have never called themselves outright Republicans or conservatives (often call themselves not political 🤦), now are happy to join this fascist circus.
Honestly, this pairing makes way too much sense.
Disturbing truth about Mike Tyson we’ve ‘collectively all forgotten’

You didn't know he was a rapist? He went to jail for it and everything.
Looks like he got a few too many head hits...
Seriously, though, how could he lose? He controls all 3 branches of government, the justice department, and the military. He gleefully and openly breaks the law with total impunity. He has the financial backing of every techbro and oligarch in the land. His rollout of AI-powered systems of surveillance and oppression is unchecked.
Americans have not gotten any smarter in the last couple of years. If the intelligent minority couldn't stop Trump when he was out of power, deeply unpopular, and beset with legal problems, what chance do they have now?
Nope, you losers are stuck with this fucker until he dies and Miller takes over. USA is over - you live in Gilead now.
You may be right about Trump but the cult dies with him. These cults never are able to sustain beyond the personality. The only exception is religious cults because God is the personality.
Yeah, but he's been punched in the head a lot.
I didn't know Trump was running in the midterms does that mean the US can be rid of him if he loses.
Not you mike. This is sad, because now, your name is shit. I even let the ear biting off thing go, not this.
You are the enemy Mike Tyson, and you are a piece of fucking shit. Fuck you, and the bronx, and all of new york excepting the non rich that don't suck.
What about when he raped Desiree Washington?
Dude has always been a piece of shit. He's just also good at boxing.

Birds of a feather....
If these dumbshits didn't have total power over our lives, it would be funny.
“Trump will win” a race he’s not in?
Why does he look like Darth George Foreman these days
