Trump Blasts Jussie Smollett <br />for Staging Attack on Himself Smollett was arrested Thursday morning for staging an attack on himself, which was made to look like a hate crime. Chicago police say the 'Empire' actor <br />paid two brothers $3,500 to carry out the <br />attack, who allegedly shouted, "This is MAGA country!" Trump took to Twitter to defend "MAGA" and to blast <br />Smollett's actions. Chicago police claim Smollett carried <br />out the publicity stunt because he <br />was "dissatisfied with his salary." Eddie T. Johnson, Chicago Police Superintendent Smollett's bond has been set <br />at $100,000 and he's been <br />required to turn over his passport.
