Despite Don King's Denial, Trump Insists King Endorsed Him

On Saturday, Trump still claimed King endorsed him, even though the boxing promoter denied the claim

Donald Trump still insists that boxing promoter Don King has endorsed his presidential campaign, even though King denied his official support Friday, NBC News reported. 

On Friday, Trump tweeted that King endorsed his campaign, saying “The great boxing promoter, Don King, just endorsed me. Nice!" 

But King denied that he was backing the presumptive Republican nominee during an interview with the New York Daily News at Muhammad Ali’s funeral. 

"I'm endorsing the people. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, I'm a Republicrat, and I go with the will of the people." King said.

On Saturday, Trump still claimed King endorsed him, tweeting: "Don King, and so many other African Americans who know me well and endorsed me, would not have done so if they thought I was a racist!"
