Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan slammed both Republicans and Democrats for ignoring the black community, the Detroit Free Press reported.

"Most of you are so hurt because Queen Hillary lost," Farrakhan said to the thousands at Joe Louis Arena.

"And some of you have cussed me out because I didn't vote for her. I didn't vote for Trump. I knew both of them is the same. You ain't going to get nothing from either one, but more deceit from Hillary, but more straight talk from Trump.

"He told you, you didn't have nothing to lose. You've been a Democrat all your life and don't have a damn thing to show for it."

Farrakhan said African-Americans should not be stressed-out about who is in the White House.

"What are we going to do, the president is bad," he said. "He's the president and he don't like black people. He don't like Mexicans. He don't like Muslims.

"Who cares? We don't give a d**** what he likes or what he doesn't like."

The Detroit News reported Farrakhan warned: "The forces that killed (President John) Kennedy, the same forces that killed (President Abraham) Lincoln, the people who really run the country, are evaluating Donald Trump right now to see if he can be controlled. He's not being controlled right now."
