Melania spokeswoman calls for boycott of T.I. over video

[TexasTowelie]

ATLANTA (AP) — A Melania Trump spokeswoman is asking people to boycott Atlanta rapper T.I. because of his promotional album video that shows a woman resembling the first lady stripping in the oval office.

WXIA-TV reports that Trump's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, tweeted Saturday asking how the video was acceptable.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, tweeted Friday "Dear 45, I ain't Kanye" before sharing the video. The woman is wearing a jacket that reads "I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U?" Trump wore a jacket with that wording on her way to visit migrant children in Texas. She said recently in an interview with ABC News that she wore the jacket to troll reporters.

Those tweets follow T.I. posting on Instagram that he was done working with rapper Kanye West, who is a President Donald Trump supporter.

1. Boycott? Heck, I'm going to go listen

[TexasTowelie]

3. Yes, I went looking for the video too.

[Achilleaze]

2. T.I. going viral in 10...9...8...

[handmade34]

4. clip

[democratisphere]

5. Buying the album.

Melanie doesn't give a damn about anything but Melanie.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Thank you, that clears up one mystery for me

I've seen threads mentioning T.I. before but I couldn't figure out what that stood for.

But if Melanie has come out against him, not only will everyone know about him now, but he'll experience a huge increase in popularity!

7. her and the con

are just pissed they didn't think of it. Just another way to make some chaching offa da office.

[Scarsdale]

8. How can this be insulting?

Anyone in the world can google and find Maleria's naked photos online. I would not doubt that somewhere there is even a copy of her price list from when she was an escort. We certainly hit rock bottom when the gop put this "forst laydee" into the WH, along with her orange clown husband and his grifting "kids"

[Achilleaze]

17. republicans like to pretend that they have "superior" morals and ethics

But it turns out that they are all Classic Closet Cases, one way or another, hiding oodles of shadow shit they will not own, and try not to show.

Just look at the assclown adulterous draft-dodging casino hustler & congenital liar they have chosen to be their republican family-values role model. 'nuf said.

[Fritz Walter]

9. The YouTube hit counter is at 15,988

Let's check back and see how quickly it gets up to six- or even seven-digits.

Meanwhile, I'm sure that all of T.I.'s fans will heed her advice.

[2naSalit]

10. His sales will spike

I can see why this got under the collective skin in the WH, she's stripping for a black man in the oval office...

I think it's quite the statement and I approve that message.

[Achilleaze]

18. The real problem is that Klan Dirty Donny* (R) isn't getting a share of the profits

The republican grubsters want a cut.

[2naSalit]

22. True...nt

[Tarc]

11. I'm sure the number of guns-in-pickup-truck, Confederate-flag-t-shirt-wearing crowd

will all line up behind Melania and not buy a rap song or album.

Well done, 100% boycott achieved.

[SallyHemmings]

12. Bringing attention to a video..Priceless

[HipChick]

13. Elevated - Good look a like...

and some people say, may not be far from the truth...

[oasis]

14. Prof. Melania gives lecture on "poor taste".

[Sunsky]

15. Good luck with that lol

Most deplorables weren't T.I. fans in the first place. When's the album out again?

[JI7]

16. people should respond with "i really don't care, do u"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. You just gave him free publicity

I never heard of T.I. before this.

Stripping in the Whitehouse is probably too close to the truth.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. i feel old

I saw the headline and thought, "WTF has Texas Instruments done with a video?"

[0rganism]

21. lol me too

TI? that's surprising - how do you make a calculator that pisses off Trump? does it correctly calculate the value of his holdings or what?

[TexasTowelie]

24. I have the answer to your first question:

Build a calculator that multiplies 5 and 16,017 but doesn't spell out "BOOBS" as the result.

[UTUSN]

23. "Dear 45 I ain't Kanye" - excellent!1
