Former President Donald Trump has endorsed North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson for Governor, praising him with a series of hyperbolic comments. Trump referred to Robinson as 'Martin Luther King on steroids,' 'better than Martin Luther King,' and 'one of the great stars of the party.' He also described Robinson as 'fantastic,' 'one of the strongest and bravest new voices in the Republican Party,' and 'the hottest guy in politics.' Trump expressed his support by saying Robinson is 'the next Governor' and that he is a 'great supporter' of his. Robinson, who has been a controversial figure, has previously made inflammatory comments, including referring to himself as a 'Black NAZI' and expressing support for slavery.
