Dennis Rodman endorses Donald Trump for president

On Friday, the five-time NBA champion tweeted that the Donald “has been a great friend for many years.”

“We don’t need another politician, we need a businessman like Mr. Trump! Trump 2016,” he added.

Trump responded on Twitter, writing, “Thank you @DennisRodman. It’s time to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain! I hope you are doing well!”
Rodman previously appeared on Donald Trump’s NBC television show “The Celebrity Apprentice” and was the fifth contestant fired, of 16 total contestants.

He announced his support of Trump only an hour after defending World Wrestling Entertainment legend Hulk Hogan in separate tweets. Hogan was released from the WWE after audio of him using racial slurs reportedly surfaced.

“I’ve known @HulkHogan for 25 years,” Rodman, who has previously appeared in the WWE, tweeted. “There isn’t a racist bone in that mans [sic] body.”

Here is the organization she founded and has been fundraising for:

http://www.happyhippies.org/

From the site:
We are celebrating love, support, and resilience with portraits of transgender and gender expansive individuals from all walks of life.

Check out #InstaPride to learn more about the power of acceptance, self-expression and freedom, no matter what our gender identity.

The Happy Hippie Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by Miley Cyrus.

Our mission is to rally young people to fight injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth and other vulnerable populations.

Everyone deserves a safe place to call their home and the chance to make their dreams a reality.

But in the U.S.:

1.6 million youth are homeless each year
40% of homeless youth identify as LGBT, and family rejection is the most common reason LGBT youth experience homelessness
25% of homeless youth were previously physically or sexually abused
Nearly one in three transgender people have been turned away from shelters

By supporting strategic programs that focus on prevention, immediate needs and awareness, we can change these numbers.
