NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown discussed his Tuesday meeting with Donald Trump, saying he “fell in love” with the president-elect over his plans to help the black community.

“[I] fell in love with [Trump] because he really talks about helping African-American black people, and that’s why I’m here,” he told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Tuesday.

“When he goes through what he went through to become the president, he got my admiration,” added Brown. “No one gave him a chance.”
