What Trump sister said about him is the truth. Point out the lie. Is it not the same thing people that have worked with him said about him?

Now you post lies about Malik on Nairaland just to argue without sense.
Will you get off my mentions, I can see you don't have anything to say, you are just looking for someone to exchange words with you. Is it this one that you are doing that is arguing with sense?

Simple they like Trump because they hate Obama and they blame him for making Jonathan lose the election in 2015.

REUTERS EXCLUSIVE

Business partner of Falwells says affair with evangelical power couple spanned seven years


https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-falwell-relationship/

Giancarlo Granda says his sexual relationship with the Falwells began when he was 20. He says he had sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell Jr, head of Liberty University and a staunch supporter of President Trump, looked on.

Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent – “multiple times per year” – and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia.

The material Granda showed Reuters includes screenshots from what Granda said was a FaceTime conversation he had with the Falwells in 2019. During that call, Granda said, Becki was naked as the two discussed their relationship while Jerry peeked from behind a door. Reuters was able to verify Granda’s description of the screenshots.

Republicans, party of family values and one of Trump's strong White Evangelical support base

The Evangelical, the ‘Pool Boy,’ the Comedian and Michael Cohen

Jerry Falwell Jr. defied expectations when he supported Donald J. Trump in 2016. Now details are emerging about behind-the-scenes maneuvering before the endorsement.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/18/us/trump-falwell-endorsement-michael-cohen.html

MIAMI BEACH — Senator Ted Cruz was running neck and neck with Donald J. Trump in Iowa just before the caucuses in 2016, but his campaign was expecting a last-minute boost from a powerful endorser, Jerry Falwell Jr.

Mr. Falwell was chancellor of one of the nation’s largest Christian colleges, Liberty University, and a son of the Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr., the televangelist and co-founder of the modern religious right.

Months earlier, Mr. Falwell had provided Liberty’s basketball arena for Mr. Cruz’s formal presidential announcement and required that the student body attend, giving the Texas Republican a guaranteed audience of thousands of cheering young religious conservatives.

With the caucuses now fast approaching, the senator’s father, Rafael Cruz, an evangelical pastor who had taken the lead in wooing Mr. Falwell, alerted the campaign that Mr. Falwell had pledged to endorse his son.

But when the time came for an announcement, Mr. Falwell rocked the Cruz campaign and grabbed the attention of the entire political world. He endorsed Mr. Trump instead, becoming one of the first major evangelical leaders to get behind the thrice-married, insult-hurling real estate mogul’s long-odds presidential bid.

That backstory, in true Trump-tabloid fashion, features the friendship between Mr. Falwell, his wife and a former pool attendant at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach; the family’s investment in a gay-friendly youth hostel; purported sexually revealing photographs involving the Falwells; and an attempted hush-money arrangement engineered by the president’s former fixer, Michael Cohen.

The revelations have arisen from a lawsuit filed against the Falwells in Florida; the investigation into Mr. Cohen by federal prosecutors in New York; and the gonzo-style tactics of the comedian and actor Tom Arnold.

Over the last two years, Mr. Arnold has fashioned himself an anti-Trump sleuth and crusader, working to dig up evidence of past malfeasance on television and in social media. In that role, Mr. Arnold befriended Mr. Cohen — who had lately become a vivid, if not entirely reliable, narrator of the Trump phenomenon — and then surreptitiously recorded him describing his effort to buy and bury embarrassing photographs involving the Falwells.

That attempt, Mr. Cohen says on the recording, came months before he brought Mr. Falwell “to the table” for Mr. Trump. Until then, he adds, “none of the evangelicals wanted to support Trump.”

There is no evidence that Mr. Falwell’s endorsement was part of a quid pro quo arranged by Mr. Cohen. Indeed, the relationship, if any, between the endorsement and the photo episode remains unclear. But the new details — some of which have been reported by news outlets including BuzzFeed and Reuters over the last year — show how deeply Mr. Falwell was enmeshed in Mr. Cohen’s and Mr. Trump’s world.


And they add another layer to one of the enduring curiosities of the Trump era: the support the president has received from evangelical Christians, who have traditionally demanded that their political leaders exhibit “family values” and moral “character.” Mr. Falwell’s father forged those words into weapons against the Democrats after he co-founded the Moral Majority political movement, which propelled Ronald Reagan into the White House and made religious conservatives a vital constituency for any Republican who would be president.

Jerry Falwell resigns from Liberty University following allegations of sexual tryst


https://religionnews.com/2020/08/24/jerry-falwell-resigns-liberty-university-alleged-affair-trump-pool-attendant/

Jerry Falwell Jr. the embattled president of Liberty University and one of the biggest champions of President Donald Trump, has resigned, Religion News Service has learned.

His resignation came within hours of the publication of a news story that alleged he and his wife Becki had a years-long sexual relationship with a business associate.

Falwell had been placed on indefinite leave earlier this month after posting, then deleting, a provocative Instagram photo of him posing with his arm around a woman at a party with their zippers down and midriffs showing.

Melania Trump caught on tape dissing Donald and Ivanka: tell-all memoir

By DAVE GOLDINER
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS |
AUG 24, 2020 AT 4:13 PM

You know what President Trump’s sister says about him. Now America is going to hear it straight from the mouth of his wife.

First lady Melania Trump has reportedly been taped making disparaging remarks about Trump, as well as his daughter, Ivanka.

An estranged confidant of Melania Trump plans to reveal what she had to say in a new tell-all book, one of a flood of damaging memoirs coming out during the months leading up to Election Day, journalist Yashar Ali revealed Monday.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who helped run the Trump inauguration celebration, plans to dish on the first lady’s reaction to the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, in which her husband bragged of handling women, and her relationship with the president’s favorite daughter.

“Wolkoff takes you into Trump Tower and the White House to tell the funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking story of her intimate friendship with one of the most famous women in the world,” a preview of the book reveals.

“Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with The First Lady” will be published by Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books on Sept. 1.

It was not immediately clear when or where the alleged recordings of Melania were made. In New York and some states, only one participant in a conversation needs to legally consent to being taped.

Wolkoff also vows to pull back the curtain on Melania Trump’s life with President Trump in the White House, including whether she is happy as First Lady and her message behind her infamous “I really don’t care” jacket

Wolkoff was a friend of Melania Trump for more than a decade and produced the Met Gala, among other big-time events.

The pair had a major falling out over her handling of the $107 million inauguration, which has been dogged by questions and even a federal investigation.

Wolkoff says she was made a scapegoat by Melania for the decisions of President Trump and his aides.

The tell-all will hit bookshelves about the same time as other damaging behind-the-scenes looks at Trump in the frantic final sprint to the Nov. 3 election.

President Trump’s niece last week revealed that Mary Barry Trump, the president’s sister and a retired federal judge, was taped saying that he has “no morals” and is an inveterate liar.

Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen plans to dish dirt from his key role in keeping the skeletons from Trump’s decades of scandals in the closet.

So it's now about whether the candidate accepted the endorsement or not? But Trump also rejected David Duke's endorsement but that wasn't enough for you.
