Maybe more than that.'It's just America, brother, I was in front of millions of people, brother,' Bell said in October.
“I'll tell you how real Trump is. One, I had no idea I was going to be called to the stage. … When Trump got up there and talked to my brother, I had no idea, no idea. I had no clue, he called me out on stage, which he was going to do, and shook my hand and talked to me a little bit, and I was like, this is it… Cool, he literally looked me in the face and just backed away (and said), “Do you have something to say?'' In short, the microphone is yours, I was so nervous and shaking. Ta! ”
