Every once in a while you have to practice sketching Michael Jackson to see how good you are at getting at drawing so you can draw even better Michael Jackson

Hello, I hope you’re doing well. I also believe very strongly in MJ’s innocence and really admire his character, though I just saw pictures of him with trump today, and found out that they were close friends, and of course that’s a worry. It just seems like a massive red flag to me. I know he mentioned trump in his song “Money,” but still the fact that they were friends is very concerning. I was wondering what your perspective is on this?

​Hey Anon, I’m doing well, thank you! I hope you are too.

​I think they met in the late 1980s. Given their respective statuses at the time, it really isn't surprising that they knew each other and were friendly.

Trump was one of the biggest businessmen in America and a massive fixture in pop culture at the time, while Michael was the biggest entertainer in the world. It was pretty normal for Michael to be in those high-profile circles, so their paths were bound to cross frequently.

​Because of this, I don't think it's entirely fair to view their friendship as a "red flag" This friendship began long before Trump’s political career and during a wildly different era.

Given how vastly different their beliefs were, I imagine Michael would have distanced himself had Trump’s current political views been aired back then.

​It's also only fair to note that Trump was one of the few high-profile figures who vocally and consistently defended Michael during the allegations in the 90s and 2000s.

​Ultimately Anon, I don't have a strong opinion on it. I don't think there was anything nefarious going on and it was likely just a friendship built on mutual respect for each other's business strategies.

I’ve never seen any reasoning of them being friends on a personal level, which would be uncharacteristic of Mike as a black man who was rich but doesn’t systemically benefit from capitalism and he knows that.

Ultimately Michael does call him out in Money in the HIStory era, and that I think says enough. Also, trump as a politician/ dictator today is different from trump as a business gargoyle in the 80s and 90s. He actually used to be a Democrat. He just goes where there’s more gain for him.

There’s a difference between being cordial with a rich guy as a popstar turned international icon who has to keep a carefully controlled public image and being politically affiliated with what is now the worst person in the world.

Times were different in regards to trump, ‘friends’ is pushing it a little, and Michael’s situation is really nuanced.

^^Michael with a man he maybe respects to a certain extent/ is friendly with/ tolerates

Michael with a man he genuinely considers a GOOD friend

FUZZBALL 😭

For any MJ fans who’re wanting to pick up the recent TIME issue, here are all the most uncommon photos I found in it. Otherwise, I don’t think it’s worth the 15$, because it’s all surface-level re-hashing of the common broad strokes of his life and legacy, and the articles (especially a piece deeply considering leaving neverland as a credible thing to be considered when it comes to examining Michael’s character) leave a bad taste in my mouth.
