“Iron Mike” Tyson was unequivocal on Monday as to who he thinks should be the next commander in chief: Donald Trump.
The former heavyweight champion told Huffington Post Live it was time to have a businessman in the White House.
“He should be president of the United States. That’s what he should be. … [Pundits and politicians] say, ‘These people don’t know what they’re talking about.’ They’re telling the people right in their face — all the Republicans, all the Democrats, all the independents — they’re saying right in the people’s face, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing. You’re going to vote for me next week. You ain’t thinking about Donald Trump. You’re just riding on the bandwagon of success.’ They’re telling us we’re stupid,” Tyson told host Alex Miranda.
“So he’s got your vote?” asked Miranda.
“Yeah, hell yeah! Big time,” the boxing legend said. “Why wouldn’t anybody like that? A guy that came from where he came from, doing what he’s doing in that field, and now this is where he’s at now. You know what that means? That doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy and the people don’t know what they’re doing. That means the people are tired of what you’re doing, what you’ve been doing the last 20 years. So let’s try something new! We tried Obama, right, time for a change. So we got to change. So now let’s try something new. Let’s run America like a business, where no colors matter. Whoever can do the job, gets the job.”
The boxer also said Trump’s comments about illegal immigrants was not indicative of how he feels about Hispanics in general. Instead, Tyson said the Republican did not know how to articulately say all ethnic groups have criminal elements.
“It’s just he didn’t know how to say it. He said really crude things. It was really crude. And he needs somebody to work with him on how to deliver his messages,” said Tyson.
A Monmouth University poll released Monday shows Trump has slipped into second place among Republican primary voters in Iowa.
Retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson currently garners 32 percent support in Iowa, followed by Trump at 18 percent, the Hill reported Monday. Trump’s favorability rating has essentially remained unchanged since August at 53 percent positive and 38 percent negative.
The survey, which has a 4.9 percent margin of error, included 400 likely Republican caucus-goers and was conducted Oct. 22-25.
