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

Strange considering there is no pattern here whatsoever.

I suppose to be fair, perhaps he made a thank you call to GEOTUS and GEOTUS kept it private?

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.

And Trump was elected without the black vote and will get reelected without the black vote so maybe more black Americans might want to ask why would Trump try to help them when they not only will not vote or support him, but he keeps trying to help them.
Trump stood up for families who's love ones were killed by illegals including blacks who lost family to illegals, gone to bat twice to free them and has pushed for prison reform that has released mostly blacks from jail. Blacks even have the lowest unemployment rate under his administration.
And what does he get outside of a few blacks who think for themselves? Complete lack of gratitude, labeled as a racist and have the same people make videos and pics having Trump assasinated.

I would just send Obama a thank you note. Your way seems explicit.

At the time I thought it was more likely he'd come home and say frick trump, than thanks

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?

Well, they are rappers, so what other purpose would they serve?
