In a recent interview with Fox News personality Lawrence Jones, former President Donald Trump expressed his desire to get his hair cut at a Black barbershop.
During the extended conversation on Thursday’s episode of Fox & Friends, Trump veered into a lengthy, unrelated monologue that included unfounded criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harris and comments about Chicago, the host city for the upcoming Democratic National Convention.

During the discussion, Jones shared clips from his recent visit to a Black barbershop in Chicago and posed a question to Trump. “Will you be on the ground at barbershops, local communities, talking about the issues that matter to them?”
“I am going to be doing that. I like that guy, and I like those people in — I watched yesterday as you did it. You are doing fantastically, by the way,” Trump said in his response. I watched yesterday as you did the interviews. Those are great people. Those are people just want safety. They don’t want much. He wants to run his barbershop.The people that were getting the haircut — I was thinking about maybe going there myself because that’s — they — I like the work, maybe they just — they make my hair look better. I’d pay a lot of money for that haircut. They can make my hair look better.But you know, honestly, those are great people, those are hardworking people. They’re strong. They’re tough. And they know they’re being conned by the Democrats.You have a corrupt political system in Chicago. Look at your governor — the governor is an incompetent guy. He was thrown out of the family business. He was — Hyatt Hotels, I was partners with them years ago in a job in New York. They threw him out of the business.I know the family very well. They threw him out because they didn’t want him in the business.He ends up being governor. He has money. He ends up being governor. He’s incompetent.Look, the Chicago and the whole Illinois thing is very, very corrupt, but we’re putting a big play there. We’re putting a big play in New York. You have the same situation in New York.If you went to a barbershop — any barbershop that you’re talking about, if you went to a barbershop in New York, in Los Angeles, in any place you want to talk about, you’re going to find the same thing, the same reaction.
“They’re really upset and I watch the mothers on your show this morning before we went on, so sad. They’ve given up on life, you have the worst prosecutors they go after guys like me, they don’t go — they go after me because I question the elections and things like that.It’s nonsense. If an election — if you can’t question an election, you — we don’t have a country. But when people get killed, when their children get killed, nothing happens.I remember Jussie Smollett, I said you got to prosecute this guy and they did. But Jussie Smollett was given a free hand and yet these killers — and they know who they are. The worst thing is they know who they are. They don’t even go and pick them up.And you have many communities like that.”
