Former President Donald Trump recently made a bizarre joke after exchanging a hug and kiss with a woman during his Georgia rally on Saturday via Hindustan Times.
Speaking at the Georgia State University Convocation Center in Atlanta, Trump called Georgia activist, Michaelah Montgomery, up on the stage. He then introduced her to the crowd and told them that the duo first met each other at a restaurant in April.
Montgomery, a Clark Atlanta University alumnus, acknowledged him in public and praised him during their meeting as per Trump for supporting historically Black institutions and universities.
“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,” Trump stated while recalling their encounter at a Chick-fil-A.
He went on to say, “she grabbed me” and “gave me a kiss.” He the surprisingly added, “I said, ‘I think I’m never going back home to the first lady’.”

Quickly reacting to his remarks, the Georgia activist quipped, “You were supposed to keep that quiet.”
The GOP presidential candidate, who proclaims himself as the best president for Black Americans, called her “incredible”, stating that she has a “tremendous future.” He also promised to do “whatever I can to help you.”
As per Fox News, Montgomery defended Trump at the Atlanta event earlier this week over his controversial remarks against US VP Kamala Harris’ racial roots.
“A few days ago president Trump said he didn’t know vice president Harris was a Black woman,” she remarked. “I’m trying to figure out what all the outrage is about because she’s only Black when it’s time to get elected,” Montgomery mocked Harris.
