Nobody will ever forget former President Donald Trump’s famous “Get home ASAP, A$AP” tweet following the release of A$AP Rocky from Swedish prison in August 2019.
Details of what led to Rocky regaining his freedom are still leaking out as Sweden’s Justice Minister revealed earlier this week that Donald Trump allegedly used bullying tactics to gain leverage by threatening to wage trade restrictions against the country.
“If you can try and do something like this against Sweden, what will you then try and do to slightly weaker countries that don’t have the European Union behind them?” Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson allegedly stated.
Trump reportedly approached the European Commission looking for their support at the time when it came to freeing Rocky.
A$AP Rocky was involved in a brawl outside a Sweden fast-food restaurant on June 28, 2019, which saw him and his two bodyguards rough up a fan that was following them. Rocky faced up to two years in jail after being charged with assault causing actual bodily harm.
Rocky was facing up to two years in jail for the June 28 incident, but his temporary release after the trial ended on August 2 indicated he would be found not guilty or sentenced to time served. It turned out to be the latter as he was found guilty, but not sentenced to more jail time.
A$AP Rocky's Sweden Imprisonment Included In Donald Trump Impeachment Hearings
Trump fought for Rocky’s release to no avail at first, which stemmed from a conversation with Kanye West, who put him on to Rocky’s struggles overseas.
“A$AP Rocky released from prison and on his way home to the United States from Sweden,” Trump tweeted on August 2, 2019. “It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!”
It was a full-circle moment when Rocky returned to Sweden in December 2019 for his first performance since being released from custody.
ya we know, when it happened, 3 years ago. maybe you goons will realize the democrats do nothing for you. hows it at the pumps or at the grocery store these days? bet you wish mean orange man was back
Because the fact that it’s been announced the entire planet is low on food and the fact that we’ve boycott Russia where our gas was mostly coming from has nothing to do with anything. You trump’s cult dumb fucks will believe and say anything to support that jackass
“RuSsIa RuSsIa RuSsIa, PuTiN PuTiN PuTiN, TrUmP TrUmp TrUmp, CoViD CoViD CoVID!!!!” You libs are a broken record. Bidens the leader of the free world ITS ON HIM! Take some damn ownership of this country’s issues like a man, gas and inflation was on the rise long before RuSsIa/UKrAiN.
You’re the idiot. “Our gas was mostly coming from Russia”. That is 100% false. We purchases less than 7% of our oil from Russia. Its Europe that heavily relies on Russian oil. Besides, backing Ukraine in the war is a joke. Ukraine already lost.
How come the president hasn’t fought for Britney Griner release?
Because he doesn’t care
For what? She hates this country. Bet she likes the national anthem now. Well wishes for her impending trial that was pushed back.
Because there’s other problems to worry about than some dyke that broke the law in Russia. Rocky’s release was nothing more than a distraction to temporarily free Trump from whatever scandal-of-the-month he created at the time. Otherwise, who gives af about A$AP Rocky, outside of his fanbase?
