Trump is the greatest Comedian alive!! The difference is that Trump forges his talks!! Thus, the greatest President ever!!
Trump found Christ and u sided with the serpent left Antichrist network legion of death.. Your existence is meaningless now
Why is it that the media almost always choses some rapper as “black icon” young blacks should look up to? It’s sickening.
They don’t. It’s just Ari. Nothing sickening about rapping and black icons my friend. Mos Def is not just a rapper. He’s a renaissance man.
