Donald Trump has been looking to get win over the “Black vote” in the upcoming presidential election, and a new report suggests that he’s looking to both athletes and Hip Hop artists to secure a November victory.
A new report by The Boston Herald published on Saturday (April 27) suggests that the politician is planning on holding a campaign fundraising event at New York’s Madison Square Garden, featuring Hip Hop’s best and brightest — even his allies, however, aren’t confident about this move.
“To be quite honest, the Republican Party does not have a cohesive engagement plan for Black communities,” said Darrell Scott, a Black pastor and longtime Trump ally who co-founded the National Diversity Coalition for Trump in 2016. “What it has are conservatives in communities of color who have taken it upon themselves to head our own initiatives.”
If Trump does indeed host the event, he can count on support from a number of key figures in the Hip Hop community.
Snoop Dogg, for instance, recently shared that he has “love and respect” for the GOP’s presidential candidate. Despite previously calling the controversial businessman and reality star a “racist,” he has clearly changed his mind about the 77-year-old.
“Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me,” the Long Beach native said in an interview with The Sunday Times earlier this year.
The “Vato” hitmaker even praised Trump for pardoning Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, who spent 30 years behind bars on an attempted murder charge and drug offenses.
He added: “He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
Snoop Dogg had previously been a vocal critic of Trump, who defeated Hilary Clinton in the 2016 election, before losing four years later to Joe Biden.
In 2020, the MC ripped into the New Yorker in a YouTube video, saying: “So, me and my homeboys sittin’ up here talkin’ about all the people that President Trump disrespected.
“Women, gays, transgenders, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and now veterans. Hmmm. Seems like he’s disrespecting every color in the world and everything that ain’t what he is, which is a racist.”
He continued: “With that being said, the people that voted for him got exactly what they wanted. They gave them what he said he was gon’ do. So, the next muthafucka, you better tell us what we gon’ get for your vote. You better show up and deliver, period.”
He’s still gonna lose. Maybe he’ll start another insurrection.
i think trump gonna win.. and it won’t even be close. don’t like Trump, but can black people really say things been better with biden?? economy been sh*t, inflation out of control, homes unaffordable, and damn near in 3 wars now with people we dgaf about.
most black women still gonna go out and vote biden, but black men (that actually have independent thoughts) either gonna vote for trump or no one at all.
that wasn’t even a real insurrection. look overseas what insurrections really look like. fbi allowed it to happened. it was just another distraction.
but no matter who’s in office, this country going down the drain.
No president can control inflation. Inflation is global and is effected by more than one persons pen stroke. Just as no president can control gas or housing prices. No POTUS can deliver short-term change on housing, and federal lawmakers more broadly have steered clear of issues like zoning, which largely fall under the purview of state and local governments. Also, we aren’t in 3 wars. We don’t have boots on the ground as a typical war. We’re spending around 1% of our annual defense budget to finance proxy wars because we don’t want Putin or Hamas to gain more power. We’re paying people to fight our enemies and not one US soldier needs to die over it. Our current defense budget is more than the next 10 highest spending countries combined. 7 of which are our allies. So the money we’re giving these other countries is peanuts compared to what the military industrial complex currently wastes.
lol ura idiot yea they can control inflation its called stop printing money or even better switch to bitcoin u cannot print bitcoins so there is zero inflation
Yeah, that was a stageplay with bad acting.
That’s when you know you’re dealing with a dummy. He’s going to win and it’s not even going to be close. Based on what? He didn’t get more votes the first time, and more people hate him than ever eight years later. The remote chance he has is to get people to stay at home like 2016 and squeak out 47.8% to 47.2% wins in a couple of states, and people are too shook of that happening again to sit around and let it.
@xd – uhhh, that’s not exactly how inflation works. The 5 causes of inflation are increase in wages, increase in the price of raw materials, increase in taxes, decline in productivity, increase in money supply. The POTUS can have a small hand in two of those things, but taxes and increase in money supply is a global cause, so if our taxes don’t change and we print no more money, it doesn’t matter since another country can increase both…. which because we’re a global economy can affect us. Also 95% of the money printed in the US per year is replacing old notes, so to try to oversimplify inflation by thinking Biden is just printing money hand over fist is disingenuous at best, idiotic at worst.
These kinds of fights just give rap music a bad name. But the fact is the fan had no right to lay a hand on the artiste and you can clearly see from the video he slapped her butt. Even when you know someone that can be out of line but it’s assault when you are a stranger.
Meanwhile Joe Bidet bringing back menthol cigarettes to appease black voters. So?

That pariah ain’t gonna win. Don’t let the deceptive polls fool you, and do not gloss over what John Legend said. You can and keep naively underestimating Biden. He will win. I can lay a bet.
