During a recent interview to promote his new film “The Last 24,” rapper Trick Trick took the opportunity to share some thoughts about the current state of American politics.
He expressed a particularly dim view of the prevailing Democratic Party agenda, particularly as it relates to transgender issues and ongoing U.S. aid to Ukraine.
According to Breitbart:
Trick started his points by saying he does not support American aid leaving the U.S. “until home is taken care of.”
ADVERTISEMENTHe noted that you can’t drive a “half a million dollar car” if your house in only worth $100,000, and went on to say, “It’s common fucking sense. It’s like take care of home first.”
“Why are we financing a war in another country over some NATO shit, and we still got homeless veterans in America?” he continued. “We still got homeless people, we still have bad water pipes, we still got a million other issues that need to be solved right here in America.”
He then turned his attention to transgenderism, saying, “We got ni**ers walking into bathrooms behind women and it was perfectly damn legal. We got men beating the shit out of women in women’s sports and it’s perfectly God damn legal. We got transgenders, er transistors, or whatever the fuck they are, coming in schools talking to children. What the fuck is you doing for these babies, about what?”
“How the fuck did we get here?” he adamantly asked.
“At this point, America, we got a God damn problem. And clearly, we can see now what it is. All the money and resources that’s needed for America is being sent everywhere else,” he insisted.
Another participant in the interview pushed back against the rapper’s supposedly “transphobic” comments, but he stood his ground and refused to back down from his beliefs.
The Detroit entertainer’s remarks sparked a significant amount of support, as evidenced by the comments that followed an X post of the interview:
Trump’s soaring popularity ahead of November’s election was fueled in part by a surge in support among the Black community — and within the hip-hop world in particular.
As Yahoo reported in January:
Even though Snoop Dogg has been a vocal critic of Trump in the past, he recently performed at one of President Trump’s pre-inauguration events earlier this month. He had previously labeled those willing to perform at any Trump event “Uncle Toms,” but seemed to change his tune after Trump pardoned Death Row Records cofounder Michael Harris in 2021.
Like Snoop, Nelly received backlash for performing at Trump’s inauguration ball. However, he wholeheartedly defended his decision on NewsNation. “This is not a campaign trail,” Nelly said.
“This is not anything that I feel like I’m influencing people to sway how they feel, but it’s more about the respect and the honor of being invited for what I like to call the greatest country on the planet.”
R&B star Chris Brown says Trump would make him content if he goes after the IRS during his second presidential term. Earlier this month he posted on Instagram stories: “Anyone else hoping that Trump shuts down the IRS? If he pulls that off… PUT THAT MAN ON… THE hundred dollar bill.”
