President Donald Trump said on July 20 that he had spoken on the phone with the Swedish Prime Minister about rapper A$AP Rocky, adding that he had offered to “personally vouch” for the New York artist’s bail. Trump said during the call, Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven assured him that the rapper will be treated fairly. “Just had a very good call with SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative. Our teams will be talking further, and we agreed to speak again in the next 48 hours!” Trump tweeted early on July 20.

[Kickass Conservative]

Is Sweden’s Justice System like North Korea’s Justice System?

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Why?

[bgill]

First - there is no such thing as bail in Sweden so this makes no sense.

Second - Trump shouldn’t get involved.

[bgill]

No, but it’s like the US border where they have to drink out of the toilet.

Yada, yada, yada. Both the above are hooey from the lying msm. Sweden is one of the most advance countries of the world.

President Trump is so racist. Wait a second. This does not fit the narrative.

I understand Trump is thinking of 2020 demographic politics.

I’m still reallllly rolling my eyes, though. Sheesh.

The media and the dem party that feels they own black American votes aren't going to like this at all.

“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,” he added. “When I say African American, I think I can really say from everybody in this country because we’re all one.”

“I have been called by so many people to help A$AP Rocky,” the president said.

A day before Trump’s comments, Kim Kardashian West took to Twitter to thank Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and White House adviser Jared Kushner for their commitment to free Rocky.

“Your commitment to justice reform is so appreciated,” she added in the Twitter post.

Fiction can’t compete with reality these days.

I've never heard of this rapper A$AP Rocky, but the video makes it clear that this Muslim looking guy was harassing and threatening them for awhile. They tried to get him to leave them alone and he refused. If this rapper had attacked a native swede unprovoked he would have probably gotten off easier. I have no problem with Trump reaching out to help this guy. Regardless of whether it helps Trump support with black voters or not, I think he's doing the right thing under the circumstances. The far left that controls the modern democrat party is giving people new reasons to leave the party everyday with their increasingly weird and embarrassing agenda, and we should reach out to all Americans to help speed up the process.

Trump is a charismatic man that appeals to a lot more minority voters compared to any other recent republican president, and he doesn't use cringe inducing pandering antics like the foolish idiots before him. That's mainly because all Americans are affected by similar problems, and real solutions work for everyone regardless of race. Trump's not going to start speaking Spanish, or pretend he just listened to some hip hop album he's memorized like a pandering loser. It shows how little you think of a group if you expect votes as a result of petty garbage like that. Trump is the right person to try a new and aggressive outreach effort aimed at blacks and Hispanics. As long as we don't neglect our efforts getting the more dependable white vote, there's no reason we shouldn't try building on our base. We don't have to hurt one group of Americans to help another group the way the left wants us to believe. The cancer that is identify politics must be stopped. TRUMP 2020! MAGA!

It was the disgusting Muslim migrants that have overrun Sweden who started the fight. It's the same migrant trash that harasses and sexually assault the native women on the streets. They are a protected class over there, and their disgusting behavior is fueled even further by that fact. This rapper was treated differently for attacking a migrant POS. There are other videos that clearly show the harassment by the migrant leading up to the fight. The guy deserved the beating he instigated. I'm glad Trump intervened in this case.

This is exactly what I think this is.

You are right the mooslims started the fight. There is film I saw on the news yesterday. They said he has been held for two weeks without any charges being filed. News said PTrump was going to communicate about him today.

Why is trump doing this? To divert attention from _____?

[Tired of Taxes]

Admittedly, at first, I questioned why Trump (and Mrs. Trump) were getting involved.

But, today I looked up and found more info.

Here’s the video of what happened before the fight:
