President Donald Trump weighed in on Michigan's U.S. Senate race Friday, announcing on Twitter that he was endorsing veteran and businessman John James in the race.

In two tweets, Trump called James "SPECTACULAR" and praised his credentials as a "West Point graduate, businessman and African American leader."

"Rarely have I seen a candidate with such great potential," Trump tweeted. "John is strong on crime and borders, loves our Military, our Vets and our Second Amendment. He will be a star. He has my full and total Endorsement!"

Also on Twitter, James thanked Trump for his support and said he looks forward to "working with you to make MICHIGAN, and AMERICA, great again!"

This is impossible as I’m told by many communists that Trump is actually a racist, despite the fact that both Kanye West and Floyd Mayweather are friends with him.

You’ve also been told that “all” of the people who voted for Trump are racists as well...many of whom will be voting for John James over a white man who is running against him. Funny how that works...

Already voted for John James via absentee ballot. Hope he slays Grandma Stab-me-now. Her ex-husband rather sleep with whores instead of wrinkly old Debbie.

Hopefully Trump’s endorsement of John James will have the same effect as his endorsement of Brian Kemp in GA governor run-off. Kemp beat Casey Cagle 69-31.

If you back into history endorsements were made by Franklin Roosevelt in 1930’s of “New Deal” Democrats. If Trump is endorsing “Trump Republicans” then things will get better.

To be honest endorsing Mitt Romney in Utah earlier this year for US Senate was not the endorsement of a “Trump Republican”.

JJ always referred to himself as a conservative outsider.

Republican, Thinks He Can Crack the ‘Blue Wall’ in Michigan Mr. James, 37, is a West Point graduate who spent eight years in the Army. He is the president of his family-run business. And he wants to become a senator.

Nowhere on anyone’s handicapping lists of tossup Senate races will you find Michigan. And nowhere on the roster of A-list Republican challengers would you have found John James. Until last week. With two tweets and his caps lock on, President Trump endorsed Mr. James in the Michigan Republican primary — “SPECTACULAR!” — giving the underdog campaign a jolt just before voters head to the polls on Tuesday.

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump · 27 Jul .@JohnJamesMI, who is running in the Republican Primary in the great state of Michigan, is SPECTACULAR! Vote on August 7th. Rarely have I seen a candidate with such great potential. West Point graduate, successful businessman and a African American leader... Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump ...John is strong on crime and borders, loves our Military, our Vets and our Second Amendment. He will be a star. He has my full and total Endorsement! 11:53 AM - Jul 27, 2018 53.6K 15.8K people are talking about this
