Trump also said Jackson lived in Trump Tower at one point and got married in one of Trump's properties.
Jermaine Jackson wasn't denying his brother's friendship with Trump. He just didn't like what Trump said.
"Name-dropping Michael don't make you cool and won't win you votes. Especially when using botched facts," Jackson wrote.
"Michael's confidence was affected by the pressures, injustice and vitriol of external circumstances. Period."
"Friends' don't pay tribute by peddling b.s. theories about Michael's 'loss in confidence'. This fool Trump needs to sit down."
