“I’m voting for Trump, so I don’t care what nobody believes. I don’t care what nobody says. I don’t care what you think or whatever. I’ve studied what Trump wants to do. I study what Trump wants to make change. I saw what Trump has tried to do. And people who just want to be a hater, they don’t get any of the information that they need to.”

Dr. Khalila and Ali got married in 1967 and divorced in 1977. Khalilah who now goes by Mama Ali remains steadfast in her support for Ali.

She added “A guy asked me the other day, Why? Why are you voting for Trump? And I told him why. I gave him five reasons. He said, at least you told me a reason. Every time I ask somebody else about it, they never give me a real reason. But at least you gave me a reason, I accept your questions. I accept your answers.”

“I don’t care about what you think. I got half of my family are Democrats. Do I care? No. But we’re still family. I wear my Trump hat every day,” she concluded.
