BET founder Robert Johnson appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box recently where he discussed coronavirus, the economy, and the upcoming presidential election.

Johnson, who’s the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats NBA team, said he didn’t walk away with any understanding of what a Joe Biden administration would offer following last week’s presidential debate between the two candidates.

“Where I come out as a businessman, I will take the devil I know over the devil I don’t know any time of the week.

“I know what President Trump has done and what he’s said he will do. I don’t know what Vice President Biden has said he will do other than masks, listen to the scientists,” the 74-year-old Johnson said.

In his almost endorsement of Donald Trump, Johnson seemed more concerned about the economic impact more than anything else.

“I would rather know who I’m going to deal with in the White House. I’m going to know what regulatory decisions they’re going to make. What fiscal policy decisions, what monetary policies they’re going to make than to be taking a chance, particularly when you have the turbulence of a pandemic.”

Back in 2016 Johnson was offered a position in the Trump administration. He said he declined the offer because of the government red tape.

Launched in 1979, Johnson sold Black Entertainment Television to Viacom in 2000 for $3 billion. Outside of the Charlotte Bobcats, Johnson has controlling share in a number of companies, including RLJ McLarty Landers Holdings L.L.C., the highest-earning black-owned auto company with annual revenues of $1.8 billion.

  1. Talking about clear and decisive directions, the country never got that from Trump. Common sense tells us that Biden will be an experienced, well organized, logical thinking President, who has a concern for the general well being of the American people and the country. Trump on the other hand would put us all in jeopardy, his incoherent ramblings for the last four years were a cover up for his blatant disregard and incompetence of the political process. It is a welcomed relief that President Biden will lead the country through these trying times out of gloom and doom, into an outcome of positive results. Let us all remember when Biden was VP, he led us out of the red, and as the President of these United States, President Biden will successfully navigate the country to a positive future.
