The tensions and drama behind the scenes of Trump's campaign to free rapper A$AP Rocky
WASHINGTON — When rapper A$AP Rocky was freed from detention in Sweden and returned to the United States earlier this month, it marked the end of a bizarre saga that at one point involved the president; his son-in-law, Jared Kushner; and the State Department’s top hostage negotiator. Though President Trump’s campaign to free Rocky appeared to end well, a behind-the-scenes battle provides a unique glimpse into the unusual characters and fraught tensions involved in Trump’s outreach efforts to the black community.
According to new details provided by sources involved, Trump’s role in pushing for Rocky’s release started with a reality television megastar calling the West Wing, a mysterious entertainment industry “fixer” and two Trump supporters. The president’s allies who connected Rocky’s team with the White House hoped to facilitate a scene that would bolster Trump’s image among African-Americans. Instead, they say they were left angry when Rocky failed to thank Trump or those around him.
Pretty surprised not even a shout out to POTUS smh
ETA: Doesn't bode well for future rappers if they get in a bind in a foreign country. GEOTUS personally vouched for the dude

Trump has freed blacks on foreign soil in two separate occasions and he has been met with ungrateful reactions both times
Very disappointing

Can you imagine how big of a piece of shite you have to be to break the law somewhere else and be freed by the President and not thank him? I would have been extremely grateful if President Obama did that for me. Of course he wouldn’t have since I’m a white male but I digest.

It's pretty clear that a lot of people out there will never even view Trump neutrally unless the media gives them permission.

Their freedom will not be publicly bartered in a thinly veiled attempt to win the favor of their fans and/or black voters?
