What else?
In May 2016, in a surprising move for some, Dale admitted that he had fallen for Donald Trump during his presidential campaign – and felt compassion for the now president. He revealed himself to be something of a fan for Us politics. Drawing a comparison to his and Donald’s tan he said, “As one who has spent his entire professional life being ridiculed for my ‘fluorescent tanned complexion’, I felt compassion for the man before he even uttered a single word.”
Dale also said that he thought that Mr Trump was “truly authentic” and “fearless” and praised his battle against political correctness.
