President Trump has spoken out for the first time about Jussie Smollett.
The Empire star was savagely beaten in a hate crime while walking the streets of Chicago, kicked and punched by two men who hurled racial and anti-gay epithets in his direction.
There was also a rope tied around his neck and bleach poured all over him.
The assailants allegedly made a reference to "MAGA country" during the attack.
