Please, someone put Trump out of our misery!

Trump is the worst but by all accounts, MJ knew how the public viewed his face and it didn't make him happy or confident with his appearance.

**Jerry Oz** · 02-20-2016, 12:22 AM

What in the world - let me repeat myself for emphasis - what in the freaking world did his appearance have to do with him being one of Donald Trump's favorite artists and close personal friend? Can't this idiot simply answer a question without either name dropping or managing to disrespect somebody?

Your poor country!

**soulster** · 02-20-2016, 12:32 PM

He calls everyone "very good friends" of his. The truth is that he probably shook hands with someone and tries to make it sound like he personally knows everyone. In the case of MJ, he, like a true narcissist does, overdoes it.

MJ did mess with his face too much, truth to be told.. he wanted to be Miss Ross a little too much.,.

it was the 80's..now, in the era of Adam Lambert, and Sam Smith topping the charts, things would have been much easier for him..

Trump is an ultimate troll.

**144man** · 02-21-2016, 07:13 PM

In the north of England, "trump" is slang for "fart".

He is not. That would be Ted Cruz. I saw Trump make those comments and I don't see why anyone would get bent out of shape over them. He was mostly complimentary of Mike.

This is the worst election in recent memory. Trump vs. Hillary is likely and absolutely terrible. Trump is insane. But I don't see a problem with his comments here to be honest. There was no reason to say that but it's his opinion so whatever. Jermaine shouldn't be entering the conversation.

I agree Thomas

1) There is absolutely NO evidence whatsoever anywhere by anyone that MJ wanted to be like Diana Ross. None whatsoever! That was pulled out of someone's ass. The factual truth is that his father mentally abused him to the point where he thought he was ugly because of his nose, and decided to change it. He had such a negative body image that he kept doing the facial surgeries. He may have had some bad doctors, and/or he just kept having so many reconstructive surgeries that the cartilage in his nose was destroyed, even though some of them told him to stop. But, the man was wealthy and famous. Someone always had a price.

2) There is absolutely nothing in your link about what you suggested. All we got was a some artsy picture of MJ, and a claim that it was the original "Bad" cover, also probably untrue. Then we get a link to...high-heeled shoes????? What the...never mind...

Cite credible evidence with link, please.

People got upset because Trump is wrong.

And, Ted Cruz is just as bad, except in different ways. Trump is the ultimate demagogue and a narcissist, and Cruz not only wants to turn the U.S. into a theocracy, but isn't even qualified to run for POTUS. The U.S. Constitution clearly states that the POTUS must be born on U.S. soil, and he was born in Canada.

Well someone told Diane that Michael was trying to look like her and her response was..."I look like that?.......yuk! " True story.

Yep Marv. You are 100% correct there. That did indeed happen. I could add more but it is perhaps best that I don't at this moment.

**Jimi LaLumia** · 02-22-2016, 10:06 PM

read Walter Yetnikoff's auto biography which he wrote himself , about MJ's original album art, as pictured in my post, and Yent's reaction..it's 2016, let's not pretend that MJ didn't have a trans strain running through his blood, which is not a terrible thing.. Miss Ross was his mentor, and the rest is history http://www.amazon.com/Howling-at-Moo...lter+yetnikoff

Well, I'm just saying what happened. I notice that it is not only you that is pulling back from saying everything that you want to say about a particular subject. I've doing it too in order to prevent fights and arguments. I've always refrained from saying EVERYTHING I know out of respect for the folks that told me! LOL! Anyway, continue...........hehehehehehehehe!

He also seems to be allergic to telling the truth. A habitual liar is what he is.

All the while he goes around calling everyone else a liar.

OK, i'll take your word for it and read your book.

Still, it's only someone's opinion that he wanted to be D.Ross. I never fully trust the words of a drug addict.
