Donald Trump just can’t seem to escape the ridicule these days — and the best part of it is, it’s all his own fault. He’s already become the object of scorn lately after his race-fueled attacks against four Congresswomen of color that started with a series of tweets this past weekend and came to an ugly head at his rally in Greenville, North Carolina when his base of rabid MAGA supporters began chanting “send her back” in reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar, to which Donald Trump said absolutely nothing and let them continue without a word.
But now the Trumpster has found himself on the wrong side of the Twitter-sphere once again — this time for claiming that he would “personally vouch” for American rapper A$AP Rocky’s bail needed to release him from a Swedish jail after the artist was incarcerated for a street fight.
According to Donald, celebrities Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West contacted the POTUS to implore him to help the rapper — and it seems that Trump has jumped to the rescue for no other reason than to attempt to stem the accusations of blatant racism being launched against him after he was, well, racist.
“Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$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!” Donald’s tweets read.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users were not drinking his Kool-Aid:
BLACK people are not voting for a vile, repugnant white supremacist because you’re pretending you care about a Black rapper.

I’m sure he’s being treated better than Jamal Khashoggi was by your friend Mohammad bin Salman. Remember him, Donnie?

Dear Sweden. Get the cash first. Deadbeat Donald isn’t good for it.

FYI, Sweden doesn’t have a *bail* system, nor does their government interfer in their judicial system (especially for political reasons by foreign entities 🤣) because they are independent from each other (like the US was pre-Trump). Bet the PM had a good laugh at Trump’s call 😂

Offering to post some bail for one famous black man does not make you not a racist, Donnie boy. Start letting brown kids out of cages and groveling on your knees to the four Congresswomen you attacked and we’ll talk.
