President Trump speaks on Jussie Smollett attack

The President when addressing some issues from the Oval Office  on Thursday morning was asked about the "Empire" actor's attack and he said, "it's horrible".


"That I can tell you it's horrible. I have seen it last night. It doesn't get worse, as far as I'm concerned", he said.

That was quite a short reply as he didn't say much about the attack.


Although, the President wasn't asked to elaborate more on the case. He wasn't asked about the MAGA statement.

It was earlier reported that Smollett was attacked and he is now hospitalized . The attackers screamed, " This is a MAGA country" after beating him and putting a rope around his neck and also pouring bleach on him.
