Donald Trump’s ‘Crazy’ Kamala Harris vs. Mike Tyson Remarks Draws Boxing’s Democrat Promoter’s Wrath: “He’s F**king Nuts”

It's yet another Democrat vs. Republican story. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made a questionable comment about Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, pitting her against Mike Tyson in a fight. And lo and behold, this veteran boxing promoter, known for leaning towards the democrats, rang alarm bells about it.

In his third presidential bid, the former President of the United States addressed supporters at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro last weekend. Although the arena, which has a capacity of 22,000, had only partial attendance on the lower levels, while the upper level was completely closed off, Trump confidently claimed to have filled the venue. This assertion sparked some intriguing reactions.

"We've had the biggest rallies in [the] history of any country. Every rally's full," he claimed. "You don't have any seats that are empty." As the presidential candidate uttered those words, the camera panned to show the entire venue, revealing the actual attendance, which had failed to fill the venue.

After a clip of Trump's speech began circulating on X, former Showtime executive Stephen Espinoza wasted no time fact-checking the Republican presidential candidate. In response to the video, Espinoza took to X to share his thoughts. "I'm dying...this cameraperson (and the director) just got fed up," he wrote.

Addressing Trump's comments directly, Espinoza mocked him by describing the actual attendance at the venue. "Camera pans over to rows upon row of empty seats and several half-empty sections," Espinoza wrote. Meanwhile, Trump appeared at another rally in Reading, Pennsylvania at the Santander Arena on November 4th.

This time, veteran boxing promoter Lou Dibella, a known Democrat, was the one to criticize Trump for his statements. While addressing the crowd at Santander Arena, Trump said, "Mike has been through a lot, but he could fight. Let me tell you, that guy could fight. But can you imagine Mike? Oh, he says, put Mike in the ring with Kamala. That will be it."

This didn't seem to have sat well with DiBella, who quickly responded on X, writing, "This is not normal in Presidential politics." He further added, "It's f**king scary. Trump openly fantasizes about the VP Harris facing Iron Mike, about Liz Cheney staring at 9 shotguns, and about the press being a buffer zone between himself and shooters. He's f**king nuts and the sane world sees!"

That being said, since Mike Tyson is part of the conversation, who does the boxing legend support?

Mike Tyson, a supporter of Donald Trump? Mike Tyson shares a passion for boxing but also an affinity for Donald Trump. Tyson has been an outspoken supporter of Trump for years, famously stating in a 2016 interview with Huffington Post, "He should be president of the United States. Hell yeah, big time!" Interestingly, their relationship can be traced back to the 1980s.

Trump used to host Tyson's fights back then in Atlantic City. Reflecting on their connection in 2022, Tyson remarked, "I always remember him from being a good guy, paying me a lot of money." Their connection is even deeper, Trump having defended Tyson during his 1992 conviction, claiming he was "railroaded in the case."

That being said, it's safe to say that Lou DiBella and Stephen Espinoza might not be staunch supporters of Donald Trump. However, Mike Tyson seems to be on board with Trump becoming the president—at least he was in 2016. What are your thoughts on Trump's statement and DiBella's reaction?
