The presence of Michael the Black Man - variously known as Michael Symonette, Maurice Woodside and Mikael Israel - has inspired not only trending Twitter hashtags but a great deal of curiosity and Google searches. Internet sleuths find the man’s bizarre URL, a easily-accessible gateway to his strange and checkered past.

The radical fringe activist from Miami once belonged to a violent black supremacist religious cult and he runs a handful of amateur, unintelligible conspiracy websites. He has called Barack Obama ‘‘The Beast’’ and Hillary Clinton a Ku Klux Klan member. Oprah, he says, is the devil.

Most curiously, in the 1990s, he was charged, then acquitted, with conspiracy to commit two murders.

 

But Michael the Black Man loves President Donald Trump. And President Trump’s campaign apparently loves him right back.

It’s unclear if the White House or President Trump’s campaign officials are aware of Michael the Black Man’s turbulent history or extreme political views, but he and his followers have stumped for the president at his inauguration and the Super Bowl.

In July, he posted video footage of himself at the Mar-a-Lago Club, President Trump’s so-called ‘‘Winter White House,’’ for the Republican Party of Palm Beach County’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner.

Wearing a black dinner coat over a white ‘‘BLACKS FOR TRUMP’’ T-shirt, Michael the Black Man posed with the local GOP’s chairman, apparently took a photo of first lady Melania Trump and recorded a selfie video that showed his arm slung over the shoulder of Florida Gov. Rick Scott.

‘‘I saw you on TV with Trump,’’ Scott can be heard telling Michael the Black Man. ‘‘You did a good job.’’

At a campaign rally in late October 2016, down in Sanford, Fla., Trump even gave the ‘‘BLACKS FOR TRUMP’’ signs an approving shout-out.

‘‘Look at those signs behind me,’’ Trump said to the roaring crowd. ‘‘Blacks for Trump. I like those signs.’’

The candidate, wearing a camouflage ‘‘Make America Great Again hat,’’ turned to the sign-holders and offered a thumbs-up. Michael the Black Man, standing behind Trump and grinning widely, gave a thumbs-up right back.

‘‘Blacks for Trump,’’ the candidate said again. ‘‘You watch. You watch. Those signs are great, thank you.’’

The signs drew national attention at the time, but not because of Michael the Black Man. Rally watchers came away perplexed after one event when white women were seen waving the signs. That same month, New York Magazine and the Miami New Times published articles recounting the sign maker’s story.

Before he started calling himself Michael the Black Man, the man identified as Maurice Woodside joined a cult led by Hulon Mitchell Jr., who went by Yahweh Ben Yahweh and eventually turned violent. The two men met when Woodside was 21 years old.

Woodside followed Yahweh’s fiery teachings for years, even after the leader allegedly denied his dying, cancer-stricken mother medical treatment and instead prescribed her ‘‘vegetables, nuts, and herbs,’’ prosecutors once said in court, according to the New Times.

It's like when people say that there were black people in the confederate army...

Of course there were because the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. General Lee freed the slaves prior to the Civil War, he was a true humanitarian. That's why there are statues of this great man.

Well, you can't argue with the truth.
