The Republican hopeful then went on to discuss his friendship with Jackson saying: “Very few people got to know Michael Jackson. But he was an unbelievably talented guy. He lost his confidence. He lost tremendous confidence because of, honestly, bad-bad-bad surgery.”

“He had the worst. He had people that did numbers on him that were just unbelievable. Facially, you know, the plastic surgeons. He was an unbelievable talent who actually lost his confidence. Believe it or not, when you lose your confidence in something, you can even lose your talent.”

After Trump’s comments Michael’s older brother Jermaine Jackson took to twitter to call out the billionaire for ‘peddling b.s. theories’. ‘Friends' don't pay tribute by peddling b.s. theories about Michael's 'loss in confidence'. This fool Trump needs to sit down,’ Jermaine wrote.

‘Michael's confidence was affected by the pressures, injustice and vitriol of external circumstances. Period. Name-dropping Michael don't make you cool and won't win you votes. Especially when using botched facts.’ As of the time of writing, Trump is yet to respond to Jermaine’s tweets.
