Rapper Ice Cube

On Tuesday, Trump campaign senior advisor Katrina Pierson revealed that O’Shea Jackson, the rapper better known as Ice Cube, worked with the Trump administration in the development of the president’s $500 billion Platinum Plan for Black America. Ice Cube later clarified that both the Republicans and the Democrats expressed interest in his Contract With Black America (CWBA), but the Trump campaign worked with Ice Cube before the election, while Democrats said they would address CWBA after November 3.
“Shoutout to [Ice Cube] for his willingness to step up and work with [the Trump] Administration to help develop the [Platinum Plan],” Pierson tweeted. “Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading!”

Ice Cube clarified that he was not endorsing the president’s campaign, but he did work with the Trump administration in order to help black America.
“Facts: I put out the CWBA. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA,” Ice Cube tweeted.

So Dems put black America on the back burner until after the election. Brilliant move.
I have a friend in Indiana who is black and he wrote in Kanye West. He posted it on Facebook earlier today and showed the ballot. I found this to be very encouraging.
Are we supposed to be happy that Trump wants to debt finance half a Trillion dollars in spending based on input from a rapper?
Stuff like this tell that polls are garbage.
Forget the 2016 voters. They want to suppress the black voters from “wasting” their vote.
If he gets even 15% of the black vote, I don’t see how Biden wins.
Biden’s campaign manager saying “things are closer than the experts think” tells me the polls are garbage.
We want Trump to win. Censorship, oppression, riots, lockdowns is the alternative. Trump needs help from the black community to win. You complaining and begging for purity on FR isn’t enough to get him to 270. That’s the reality in American 2020. It’s a war, you can complain after Trump wins. Him losing will not get you the purity you seek.
I’m glad Ice Cube supports Trump, so don’t take this as a
slam on him.
The art of the deal is getting others to think they came
up with the plan you had in your mind years ago.
This Trump guy beats anything I’ve ever seen.
This is the guy that could sell ice to Eskimos.
I suppose it's preferable to President Harris doing it.
It would be foolish to say otherwise, even if it was close. You have to fight complacency.
He doesn't care about the debt, now or after. Debt to GDP has doubled since 2008. He's spending faster than Obama, which I would have thought impossible in 2016.
Reality is we have to two choices, Trump or Biden. One or the
other will become the next President.
My hope is that the GOP can keep control of the House and Senate.
That is where the budgets and laws will be enacted.
“Are we supposed to be happy that Trump wants to debt finance half a Trillion dollars in spending based on input from a rapper?“
.... It’s either that or spend those trillions on unnecessary wars that don’t further American interests. Debt is debt. I’d rather spend it at home on Americans.
His spending may have doubled, but he’s not financing endless, meaningless wars. Instead, he’s doing everything he can to help the people of THIS country. Monies are going to the people for a change. Monies that would have been going to wars and filling the pockets of corrupt politicians. I’m surprised nobody noticed.
So, just accept parabolic debt increases to infinity?
Not for long. Average gdp growth rate falls as debt increases. Over time, every extra dollar used to buy public debt is a dollar that can't be used for private investment. It's the private investment that increases productivity.
So proud of you
I guess now the GOP is in the pander to the ghetto vote business too.
Guess you’re in the lose to prove a point business. Trump isn’t perfect but he clearly loves the country. BTW, I’m confident “ghetto” ice cube has created far more jobs than you have
Great let him pay
