Trump won't spend a penny on Ice Cube's plan. Joe and Kamala's plan is far more comprehensive.

Ice Cube Clarifies Role in Helping Trump Admin Develop Platinum Plan
According to the rappers rep, Ice Cube offered to meet with both the Trump and Biden campaigns in recent weeks to discuss an agenda for black Americans and support for his Contract With Black America (CWBA), which strikes at the heart of racism and presents a blueprint to achieve racial economic justice.
The problems facing America are too deep and wide to simply reform one area or another, the contract said. Long-lasting solutions demand a comprehensive thorough rethink of America so that each new approach in each area supports the success of the others. This Contract with Black America will provide conceptual approaches in several areas. The contract goes on to detail 13 different areas of improvement, including bank lending, prison reform, police reform and the elimination of all confederate monuments.
Ice Cube similarly posted a video on Twitter on August 22nd where he asked of both parties, Whats in it for us? Whats in it for the black community besides the same old thing weve been getting from these parties, Ice Cube asked. I didnt hear anybody mention a Contract With Black America, and I dont know why because its one of the most comprehensive reform documents that have come out in a long time that can really address the problem.

Arrest the President. It's a damn good song or a 51 year old rapper/actor/director.
His feelings on Trump are pretty clear.

(53,035 posts)13. Your link has his earlier statement
He says " I would never support a mothafucker like Donald Trump."
That he is working with Trump on something doesn't mean he's supporting him for president.
Don't ever believe Republicans.
