Jermaine Jackson Slams Donald Trump Over Botched Facts About Michael

Jermaine Jackson is not happy about recent remarks Donald Trump made about his brother, legendary singer Michael Jackson.

The presidential candidate said at CNN's Republican presidential town hall in Columbia, South Carolina on Thursday that he knew the real story of the King of Pop. Trump, 69, had said the singer was a very good friend who lived in his Trump Tower in New York City for a long period of time.

Trump said “I knew the real story of Michael Jackson, he was an unbelievably talented guy. He lost his confidence. And he lost tremendous confidence because of, honestly, bad, bad, bad surgery...And, you know, believe it or not, when you lose your confidence in something, you can even lose your talent”.

Responding to Trump comment Jermaine twitted “Friends' don't pay tribute by peddling b.s. theories about Michael's 'loss in confidence. This fool Trump needs to sit down. Michael's confidence was affected by the pressures, injustice and vitriol of external circumstances. Period. Name-dropping Michael don't make you cool and won't win you votes. Especially when using botched facts”.

Michael died at age 50 in 2009 from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, administered by his private doctor, who served two years in jail for involuntary manslaughter.

Trump has not responded to Jermaine.
