Donald Trump makes infidelity joke with Michaelah Montgomery during Georgia rally
According to Donald Trump, Michaelah Montgomery, who attended Clark Atlanta University, recognized him and praised him for his contributions to historically Black colleges and universities.
Trump recalled, "She looks at me, says 'It's President Trump. You saved my college.' And I said, 'How the hell do you know that?' ... This one is so smart, so sharp."
He continued the anecdote with a remark that left many scratching their heads. "She grabbed me. She gave me a kiss. I said, 'I think I'm never going back home to the first lady,'" Trump said.
Montgomery responded with a laugh, "You were supposed to keep that quiet."
Trump then praised Montgomery, calling her "incredible" and suggesting she had a "tremendous future". He offered his support, saying he would do "whatever I can to help you," before allowing her to address the crowd.
Montgomery took the opportunity to speak about her conservative activism and her role as the founder of Conserve the Culture, an organization that mobilizes HBCU students to spread conservative messages.
She emphasized the importance of getting their message out, stating, "The fight is nothing if all we do is talk about it amongst ourselves."
She asked the audience, "Nobody needs this message more than my folks, so do y'all care for real? Are y'all with us for real?"
The crowd responded with cheers. Montgomery then handed the microphone back to Trump, referring to him as "Big T".
Montgomery expressed her full support for Trump, criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris and suggesting that her policies have harmed the Black community.
"The left is trying to tout this woman as a savior for the Black community but all she's done is hurt the Black community since she came into the game," Montgomery said.
She also reiterated several of Trump's campaign points on issues like immigration and voting.
The rally occurred shortly after Trump faced criticism for comments he made at the National Association of Black Journalists convention regarding Harris' racial identity.
