Chance The Rapper has made no secret of his support for the Democrats, performing for Barack Obama at the White House, and stumping for Hillary Clinton during the election, even going so far as to lead a crowd of concert-goers to an early voting station in his native Chicago.
Of course, it’s Clinton’s adversary Donald Trump who sits in the Oval Office now — and judging by Chano’s tweet from yesterday (February 6), the billionaire businessman has done little to win the rapper over.
In fact, Chance expressed concern that Trump would ignore Constitutional term limits and remain in the position for longer than eight years.
“I was worried about him bein president for the next 8 years, but at every turn he’s throwing out hints that he plans on way longer than that.”
This is definitely a different sentiment than what he told GQ in an interview from last month.
“I want to be the good guy,” Chance said, sharing lessons he’d learned from his father, who worked with Obama during Obama’s days as a Senator. “And sometimes the good guy sounds like a lame thing. But the good guy, in what I’ve seen happen so far, the good usually wins. That’s why I’m not afraid of a Trump presidency.”
But could Trump even stay in power longer than two terms? Not without some drastic changes.
The Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution allows for an America president to serve two terms in office, which would come to eight years. The last — and only — president to serve more than that was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was elected to the Oval Office four times. This was before the amendment was introduced in 1947.
Should Chance be worried? In order to change the Constitution, there must be approval from two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate — and the Republicans aren’t close to having that many seats in either.
However, the Constitution can also be amended by a constitutional congress called by two-thirds of state legislatures. On this front, the Republicans are just one legislature short, currently holding 32 of 50. Given the amount of Republicans who are skeptical of Trump’s policies, behavior and attitude toward Russia though, it doesn’t seem at all likely that they would break with democratic norms in order to make sure Trump stays in Washington DC into his eighties — especially when you remember that there’s a bunch of them who would like to be president themselves.
People are really believing this dumb reality show. This whole Trump scenario is so WWE to me. But keep on believing in tis American system tho…
The sheeple are asleep – That’s why they call it the american dream..
who gives a flying fuck about this guy
Nan nigga
You don’t give a shit because he hasn’t pissed off black people only democratic whites mexicans arabs europeans and australians. You will change your fucking tune tho. Your apathy is why this guy is in office. Probably didn’t vote either. At least Chance did something. Republicans will always win as long as the women and the blacks aint out voting you stupid dumbshits
Republicans honestly will always win when it comes to common sense and logic. Black people on the left still support the BLM movement and have no freaking clue what it is or what it is really supporting. And the ignorance will continue until they actually research it. The educated ones are on the right, because they are self-sustainable with no reliance on the govt.
Is BLM still a thing?
So glad King HOV isn’t commenting on Trump. Keep that money and wins flowing in HOV. Don’t want to end up a broke Nas stan like this dude.
Fuck the opinion of this spoiled silver spoon little brat.
wow the delusions of democrats gets wilder by the day its getting comical at this point. i like chance btw think his music is decent upbeat and fun but he clearly is clueless when it comes to politics
It’s literally the most ludicrous statement you can make lol he’s really convinced that a president will serve more than 2 terms….you simply can’t. What an idiot. Plus his father was on the campaign trail for Obama. He has to paint the picture of panic to get everyone all riled up to divide. Trump has absolutely nothing against black people but from the way these idiots act you’d almost think differently…..if you were an idiot. Dems have no common sense or logic.
Donald Trump is a coward and a racist who tell lies every chance he get in front of a camera now watch the ignorant comments on this site who are blind to the devils tricks I have respect for this rapper at least he knows what is going on
Who cares about some pug faced little nigga who never worked a day in his life.
