Racist? Trump Goes to Bat for Rapper Locked Up in Sweden

[FindersKeepers]

It doesn't sound racist to me. I never heard of this A$AP fellow before, and if you ask me, all rappers should do time for noise pollution, but I'm sure some disagree.

A racist is unlikely to go to bat for a black rapper, but that's what Trump is doing -- even offering to guarantee the rapper's bail with his own money.

Explain to me how that's racist.

“Many, many members of the African American community have called me, friends of mine, and said could you help,” Trump told reporters. “I personally don’t know A$AP Rocky but I can tell you that he has tremendous support from the African American community in this country and when I say African American, I think I can really say from everybody in this country, because we’re all one,” Trump said.

The African-American vote is important to him - and a black vote is equal to a white vote at election time.

The people who call him racist are either too stupid to know what the word means or they are just advancing a dishonest agenda.

So if he doesn't do anything he is a racist but if he does do something he is a racist because he has ulterior motives.

Some people are just maroons.

Regardless of racism or not , all politicians put votes above all else.....so yes, he has definite ulterior motives . He is a politician , not a maroon (whatever that is)

When in Rome: Don't body slam people.Let the court work it out. This isn't some highly oppressive regime here. He was in a fight and claims self defence as his defense. Let the court work it out. He can just hope that their justice system is as green oriented as ours is.

Sitting Presidents often step in when Americans are detained in other nations, whether those nations are friends or foes. It not out of the ordinary.

The maroon is you, not the politician. If you are truly interested in what "maroon" means I would suggest you watch the link to the cartoon I have shown.

They are trying to avoid addressing the issues and defend their ideas.

You are one of the most cynical people I've seen.
