“He had no desire or intention to lead this nation only to market himself and to build his wealth and power. Mr. Trump would often say “This campaign was going to be greatest infomercial in political history” 

he never expected to win the primary. He never expected to win the general election. The campaign for him was always a marketing opportunity.”

“I knew early on that Mr. Trump would direct me to lie for him … Lying for Mr. Trump was normalized and no one around him questioned it and in fairness no one around today questions it.”

“Mr. Assange assured Mr. Trump that there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clintons campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect “Wouldn’t that be great””

My favorite movie is also Black Panther, sweet child.

The young girl’s mother goes on to talk about how she watches Black Panther “every day. Three times a day.”

After the young girl and her family leave, Oakland-based boxer Andre Ward had some touching words for Coogler:
