The 60-year-old said that "ever since [he] played [Donald] Trump, black people love [him]." He said, "They love me. Everywhere I go, black people go crazy. I think it’s because they’re most afraid of Trump. I’m not going to paint every African-American person with the same brush, but a significant number of them are sitting there going, ‘This is going to be bad for black folks.’"
