He also finally addresses his comments from a TMZ Live broadcast, where he suggested that slavery was a choice.I feel that [Trump] cares about the way black people feel about him, and he would like for black people to like him like they did when he was cool in the rap songs and all this. He will do the things that are necessary to make that happen because he’s got an ego like all the rest of us, and he wants to be the greatest president, and he knows that he can’t be the greatest president without the acceptance of the black community.

That happens sometimes when people are—I'm not blaming mental health, but I'm explaining mental health.
