Why I support Trump...

Industrialist Shalabh Kumar told CNBC on Tuesday the 2005 video threatening to unravel Donald Trump's bid for the White House is not a reason to pull his support.

Kumar, founder and chairman of the Republican Hindu Coalition, said if he were Trump he'd be "embarrassed." But the leaked "Access Hollywood" tape, in which Trump brags about groping women, was "just talk," he added.

At the Republican National Convention in Cleveland this summer, Kumar, chairman and CEO of manufacturing firm AVG Group, pledged a $1.1 million contribution to Trump's campaign.
