Michael Jordan sets the record straight on the subject of his support for the following president of the United States.

This got here after a rumor surfaced on Twitter that the basketball legend had endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who’s running against Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

User X uploaded a post with a photograph of Jordan with the caption: “JUST IN: Michael Jordan is the last person to endorse Donald Trump for president.”

The post from November 3 was extremely popular with over 58,000 likes and over 6,800 re-posts. Jordan, nevertheless, quickly stepped in to dissociate himself from the false claims and made it clear that he didn’t provide any public support in any respect.

In an interview with The Independent on November 5, his representatives told the basketball legend he said“There is absolutely no truth to the claim that Michael Jordan endorsed the presidential election.”

Fans reacted to the statement by applauding Jordan for maintaining his privacy.

One fan on the Daily Mail website he said“I’m glad he doesn’t vote or vote. Regardless of who he supports. I have total respect for that. Classy behavior and thank you.”

Another said: “Jordan is value over $3 billion and he still gets as much as $250 million a 12 months from Nike for his Air Jordans deal. MJ doesn’t care about politics. Playing in silence since it pays off…….

Assuming he supports Trump, one person said: “Leave him alone, some people similar to to keep away from it, it’s none of our business who he votes for. People are only attempting to connect anyone to anyone without them knowing.

A 3rd person said: “MJ stays away from drama and doesn’t become involved in politics. Let him be. It’s his right.

This is strictly what Jordan selected to do throughout his entire sports profession.

In the fifth episode of his documentary series “The Last Dance” on ESPN, Jordan said: “When I played sports, I wasn’t a politician. I focused on my craft. Was it selfish? Probably. But that was my energy. That was where my energy was.”

He also addressed his infamous “Republicans buy shoes too” quote that appeared in the course of the 1990 North Carolina Senate race between Republican Jesse Helms and Democrat Harvey Gantt. This quote was documented within the book “The Second Coming” by creator and sportswriter Sam Smith, and was even re-quoted, replacing the term “shoes” with the term “sneakers”.

In 2016, Slate published an article stating this Jordan’s spokesman Estee Portno sent them an email denying that Jordan had ever made such a press release.

“I don’t think I need to correct that statement because I said it jokingly on the bus with Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen. It was blown off the cuff,” Jordan said on “The Last Dance” in 2020.

“My mom asked me to do a PSA for Harvey Gantt, and I said, ‘Listen, Mom, I do not speak out of my pocket about someone I do not know. But I’ll send a donation to support him. And that’s exactly what I did.

Deloris Jordan’s son added: “I commend Muhammad Ali for standing up for what he believes in. But I never thought of myself as an activist. I believed of myself as a basketball player.

Dr. Phil McGraw wants his political affiliation to remain a secret. But critics find it hard to imagine just days after his controversial speech by which he defended Donald Trump from calling him a political tyrant for nearly a decade.

During an Oct. 27 Madison Square Garden rally for the GOP presidential candidate, the talk show host suggested that the businessman-turned-politician is definitely an important debater who sometimes resorts to name-calling.

Now in a brand new interview with “Piers Morgan uncensored” psychologist, who stopped renewing his license to practice in 2006, says his alleged support for the grumpy character has been misunderstood.

“It was an act of rebellion on my part,” Dr. Phil told host Piers Morgan in a promotional clip distributed hours before their discussion premiered on YouTube on November 5, Election Day.

“I’m just not here to support Donald Trump,” he added, noting, “I don’t like celebrity endorsements.” This sentiment was reflected in his speech.

Speaking to the group of MAGA supporters, Dr. Phil continued: “I am here to talk to and stand up for people who have declared their support for Donald J. Trump, or have been discovered, or want to do so but are too intimidated. They are erased, intimidated, marginalized, excluded and even boycotted.”

However, the creator of “We’re in Trouble: How to Stay Strong for America’s Soul and Mental Health” told Morgan he felt rejected after being denied repeated opportunities to speak with Vice President Kamala Harris. So he showed up on Trump’s behalf.

“I have asked to speak to Kamala Harris more than 25 times and I have never received so many answers: yes, no, maybe,” he said.

Dr. Phil also stated that well-placed Democrats can attest that he wouldn’t attempt to conduct an “ambush interview.” Harris’ team was said to have been concerned about McGraw’s past of interrogating callers.

What’s more, the Daytime Emmy winner said he “offered to deliver an identical speech at the Harris rally,” even offering to provide a transcript of his remarks upfront.

Harris, the Democratic nominee, has used a lineup of guest speakers at campaign events, including Barack and Michelle Obama, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Oprah Winfrey, just to name just a few who appeared.

Dr. Phil is an example of why you actually cannot trust these people. They lie, cheat, steal, manipulate and have a spirit of entitlement like no other race.

Winfrey faced digital criticism as McGraw enraged liberal voters and organizations focused on the advancement of people of color with his alleged alliance with Trump. The mogul brought him into the limelight with quite a few guest appearances on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” within the Nineties. She used her brand to help him construct his own by launching his consulting show, “Dr. Phil” in 2002.

McGraw went a step further and stated, “I don’t like a lot of what he says or does.” But when asked if he had decided who would get his vote, he replied: “I think so, but I’ll never say.”

People reacting to the interview on the Internet he tweeted“The same speech? This is so depressing. You principally haven’t any loyalty or feelings towards one or the opposite. You just wanted to talk. Narcissus.

A number of took jabs at some of the guests on Dr. Phil’s popular talk show, where he tried to help troubled teenagers. One of them said: “An act of revolt?! he is similar as these children interview.

Other he wrote“So Dr. Phil had a tantrum…. But he wants to heal people? No, Phil… stay there.

Third as well as“The man who preyed on vulnerable people in order to create a pro-Trump talk show… seems to have a point.”

As for the response, McGraw said he saw it coming and that folks are actually “shocked by all the vitriol.”

There’s one thing our favourite black celebrity couples will do: placed on a improbable performance and get noticed.

Even though the cozy season began this month, these couples had no problem getting outside to have fun their biggest moments. Take, for instance, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Ryan Michelle Bathe and Sterling K. Brown. We saw them close the gala at the Academy Museum 2024 and go to Miami for the unveiling of the NBA Heat statuette.

Ciara and Russell Wilson then celebrated Cici’s birthday, and Quad Webb honored her latest partner with a fun celebration in Atlanta. These celebrity couples lived their best lives, from steamy dates like Judy and DaBrat at an Usher concert to gallery openings like Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz.
