🎮 Trump Jr. Explains How Michael Jackson Ended Up Playing Video Games in His Bedroom
Donald Trump Jr. recently shared a fascinating look back at his childhood, revealing that King of Pop Michael Jackson used to hang out in his family’s apartment and play video games with him.
The unexpected friendship blossomed during the early 1990s when Jackson was living at Trump Tower in New York City. Being a close friend of Donald Trump at the time, the pop icon would frequently visit the family’s upper-floor residence.

According to Trump Jr., Jackson wasn’t just a casual visitor—he actually spent hours hanging out like a regular guest. In his memoir, Trump Jr. recalled coming home from school to find Michael Jackson sitting in his room, completely immersed in video games.
”One day my dad came home and said, ‘Michael’s upstairs, go hang out with him,'” Trump Jr. shared in an interview. “We went upstairs and we were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Nintendo.”
The pop star was known for his love of gaming and even gifted Donald Jr. a rare, vintage Nintendo Game Boy, a gesture that remained one of his favorite childhood memories.
🍕 Hanging Out Like Normal Kids
While the world saw Michael Jackson as an untouchable global superstar, Trump Jr. explained that to him and his brother Eric, Jackson just felt like a big kid who loved the same things they did. They would order food, play games, and talk about comic books.
This unique behind-the-scenes look offers a rare glimpse into a softer, more grounded side of the music legend, long before political campaigns and massive media scrutiny reshaped the Trump family legacy.
