Here's the 'president' hard at work as he tackles the World's Challenges



Just spoke to @KanyeWest about his friend A$AP Rocky’s incarceration. I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!


A$AP ROCKY

that he has NOTHING TO DO!

President Obama must just cringe whenever he hears about this crap. He was working enormous hours during his tenure in the White House (sigh...) and he knows all of the stuff that The Orange One is blowing off.

He's an American entertainer who was a performing in Sweden and was involved in a street fight.
He has been locked up for some time - 23 hours of solitary for no good reason.
It is difficult to support any American who is facing conditions that are significantly better than those Central American folks are facing in the Con's concentration camps but as we believe in human rights for all, I am glad State Department is working on this one.

Of course, it could also be said that, with Rump working in his behalf, Rocky will be lucky to escape the death penalty (even though Sweden doesn't have a death penalty).
