During a recent interview with Anderson Cooper, Trump said Michael Jackson lost his confidence because of surgeries that went awry.
“He was an unbelievably talented guy,” Trump said. “He lost his confidence. And he lost tremendous confidence because of, honestly, bad, bad, bad surgery.” (RELATED: Trump Blames Bad Plastic Surgeries For Michael Jackson’s Downfall)
In a series of tweets over the weekend, Jackson criticized Trump for his comments.
Name-dropping Michael don't make you cool and won't win you votes. Especially when using botched facts.

Michael's confidence was affected by the pressures, injustice and vitriol of external circumstances. Period.

'Friends' don't pay tribute by peddling b.s. theories about Michael's 'loss in confidence'. This fool Trump needs to sit down.
