'I GOT RED PILLED': Former Obama intern now supports Trump

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND AND ROBBERIES ARE UP IN CHICAGO. STUART: THANKS VERY MUCH. BLACK RESIDENTS IN CHICAGO OUTRAGE AT MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON OVER HIS PROPOSAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL $70 MILLION FOR MIGRANTS. ONE OF THE CHICAGO RESIDENTS JOINED ME NOW. A PETITION TO RECALL THE MAYOR IS GAINING STEAM. I TAKE IT THIS IS ALL ABOUT MIGRANTS, RIGHT? >> THE MAYOR HAS DECIDED TO PUT TAXPAYERS AND VOTERS ON THE BACK BURNERS TO GIVE MONEY AND RESOURCES TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT PAID A DIME INTO OUR TAX BASE AND FOR THAT REASON HE HAS TO GO. STUART: YOU ONCE INTERNED FOR BARACK OBAMA FOR HIS PRESIDENCY. NOW YOU ARE A PRO TRUMP CONSERVATIVE. WHAT CHANGED? >> I MOVED OUT OF THE COUNTRY IN 2016 TO GO INTO SELF-IMPOSED POLITICAL EXILE TO PROTEST HIM BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET FULL-TIME WORK WITH OBAMACARE. THE EMPLOYER MANDATE CLAIMANT PEOPLE, EMPLOYERS HAD TO GIVE HEALTH INSURANCE IF THEY HAD EMPLOYERS WHO WORKED 30 HOURS PREVENTED ME FROM GETTING A FULL-TIME SCHEDULE SO I SAID FORGET THIS, GRABBED MY 4-YEAR-OLD AND WE MOVED TO SENEGAL. STUART: YOU WERE IN SENEGAL FOR A COUPLE YEARS. >> I WAS THERE IN 2010 AND MOVED BACK IN 2016 SO I COULD GET AROUND THAT PROCESS. STUART: AND YOU CAME BACK AND SAW TRUMP IN OPERATION AND LIKED WHAT YOU SAW? >> I LOVED IT. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE WITH THE YOUNGER BLACK LEADERSHIP SUMMIT AND MY GOAL FOR GOING THERE WAS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH DOCTOR BEN CARSON ABOUT FEDERAL HOUSING MISMANAGEMENT IN CHICAGO AND THAT TURNED INTO AN INVITATION TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BROUGHT THE MESSAGE BACK TO MY PEOPLE AND MY CITY. STUART: HOW TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS FEEL ABOUT THIS? NOT MANY BLACK FOLKS ARE GUNG HO TRUMP SUPPORTERS? >> NOW THEY ARE. WHEN I STARTED DOING THIS IN 2019 THEY WERE NOT HAPPY AT ALL. PEOPLE WERE ABUING BEGAN THROWING TOMATOES AND THROWING THEIR BACKS ON ME, WE WERE DOING BLACK CHICAGO FOR TRUMP DURING THE 2,020 CAMPAIGN, SLAPPING BLACK FOR TRUMP BUMPER STICKERS ON BIDEN SIGNS AROUND THE CITY BUT NOW THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE HOW OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JIM CROW JOE HAS SETTLED THEY ARE STARTING TO SAY YOU WERE TRYING TO SAVE US, WE ARE SORRY, WE SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO YOU, WE ARE READY TO GO AS WELL BECAUSE I AFFECTIONATELY CALL DONALD TRUMP MY DONNIE. WE WANT HIM TO BE OUR DONNIE TOO AND IT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SHARE. STUART: IN 2020 TRUMP GOT 8% OF THE BLACK VOTE. WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WILL GET THIS YEAR? >> 60, 65, 70. WE ARE DONE WITH THE LAST HAVING DIXIECRACK, NAMED JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN. THEY'VE BEEN DISRESPECTFUL TO US AND WE DESERVE BETTER AS AMERICAN CITIZENS. STUART: I PREDICT WITHIN TWO YEARS YOU WILL BE RUNNING FOR OFFICE
