NFL Icon Jim Brown &His Young Wife Give Surprising Alternative View On Trump

Posted On : February 9, 2017

NFL icon/civil rights activist, Jim Brown (80), was recently spotted in LAX airport with his lovely 40 year old “tender-roni” wife, Monique Brown. Okay, we know their 40 year age difference is surprising, but what’s even more surprising to many, is Jim’s response when asked about Pres. Donald Trump and also about Kanye West’s recent reversal of support for Trump after he didn’t get invited to the presidential inauguration.

Screen Shot 2017-02-09 at 10.26.05 AMBefore we get into what Brown recently said at the airport, we’ll fill you in on what he said a while back about this topic in case you missed it: Jim Brown voted for Hillary Clinton and publicly supported her throughout the presidential election. However, after Trump won the election, Jim said he would support Trump as president and that he disagreed with his fellow civil rights leader, Congressman John Lewis,’ sentiments that Trump is not a “legitimate President” due to the intelligence findings that Russia allegedly hacked the election to help Trump win. Brown’s reaction to Lewis was that although he, himself [Brown], was also “defeated” by Trump’s win, “He won, in my opinion, fair and square, and I’m going to support him as President of the United States.”

The one detail Jim overlooked was that he based his assessment off of his “opinion,” while Congressman Lewis is basing his off of highly classified information that prominent politicians, such as himself, recently were made aware of. But now Jim Brown had more to say…

The president won his position. He is president. If he can give me respect, I sure can give him respect. And if I can go to have him help poor people, inner city people … then why shouldn’t I do that?”

As far as Kanye, Brown was pretty much like ‘that’s Kanye’s business, not mine.’ See what else he said below.

WATCH JIM BROWN’S ALTERNATIVE VIEW RESPONSE ON TRUMP

Overall, it seems like Jim Brown is treating Trump’s win like an NFL game- where when the team loses the game, the players are trained to still show respect to the winning team, to avoid looking like ‘sore losers.’ After watching the video, it doesn’t necessarily sound like Jim Brown is a ride-or-die player for Trump, because he still doesn’t agree with Trump’s policies. BUT Jim does sound like the old player who has lost his will to fight and has thrown in the towel, because he believes that there is nothing else anyone can do about Trump since he holds the most powerful position in the world basically. However…

Many would argue that Brown’s viewpoint is based on an ‘alternative fact.’ While it is a fact that Trump holds a powerful position, it’s an ‘alternative fact’ that Trump’s opposers have to simply sit back and accept Trump’s ruling. That’s evident in the millions who have protested and brought major heat to Trump’s executive orders, several of which Trump and his team reportedly have now had to discreetly abandon due to pressure from the public’s opposition, according to reports by MSNBC and several other media outlets.

Anywho, ILOSM fam’ let us know what you think about Jim Brown’s ‘alternative view’ on Trump.
