Clay Aiken Regrets Defending Trump: “I Was a F*cking Dumbass”

Former Celebrity Apprentice competitor Clay Aiken tweeted yesterday that he is withdrawing his support for Donald Trump in the wake of the Charlottesville, and says he was wrong about his former boss not being a racist.

“Remember all those times I defended @realDonaldTrump and believed he was not actually racist? Well… I am a f–king dumba–s. #imsorry,” the former Celebrity Apprentice competitor, 38, tweeted on Tuesday, August 15. “I’ve always thought he would be dumpster fire as a president and I was right about that. I just didn’t think he was racist #wrong.”

I have A LOT of thoughts about this that we “discuss” on tomorrow’s WOW Report radio show on Radio Andy Sirius XM – and by “discuss” I mean I shout myself hoarse and generally talk over everybody for twenty minutes. Be sure to tune in.

Remember all those times I defended @realDonaldTrump and believed he was not actually racist? Well… I am a f*****g dumbass. #imsorry

TBC… I’ve always thought he would be a dumpster fire as a president, and I was right about that. I just didn’t think he was racist. #wrong https://t.co/6ec0Qm0WxW

My party is the Democrats. I didn’t vote for the idiot. Never ever implied that I did or would. Was VERY vocal about not voting for him. https://t.co/JjRg1e4weX

US magazine reminds of Clay’s dubious past relationship with Trump:

Although he holds membership in the Democratic party, the American Idol alum has outspokenly supported Trump, 71, in the past. “Anybody who discounts him is shortsighted,” he told Billboard in August 2015 of the business mogul’s bid for the presidency. “I don’t think anybody should discount him. Nobody thought that we would see him in the position he is in right now. He is certainly the front-runner with no signs of that fading.”

The Sharknado 5 star also defended Trump in May 2016. “I don’t think he’s a facist. I don’t think he’s a racist,” Aiken told Fox Business at the time. “I like him as a person. I always say he’s like the uncle who gets drunk at the wedding and embarrasses you. You still love him, but you wish he’d shut up.”
