I hope the Swedish prime minister promised to treat this rapper as well as Trump is treating asylum seekers in custody in Texas
Trump offers to guarantee ASAP Rocky’s bail in Sweden

BERLIN — President Trump said he spoke with Sweden’s prime minister Saturday about jailed rapper ASAP Rocky and “offered to personally vouch for his bail.”
Trump tweeted that during a “a very good call” with Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, he also “assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk.” The platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated artist has been in custody since early this month over an alleged fight.
Urged on by the first lady and celebrities including Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West, the president had said in a Friday tweet that he would intervene to try to free Rocky, whose real name is Rakim May.
“Our teams will be talking further, and we agreed to speak again in the next 48 hours!” Trump wrote Saturday after speaking with Lofven.
Lofven said in a statement earlier Saturday that he would be glad to speak with Trump about ASAP Rocky’s detention but that his government “cannot and will not attempt to influence prosecutors or courts.”
“I understand that President Trump has a personal interest in the case .... He has expressed the desire for a conversation with me, which is certainly positive,” Lofven said. “I will explain that the Swedish judicial system is independent. In Sweden, everyone is equal before the law, and this includes visitors from other countries.”
Rocky has been behind bars while Swedish police investigate the fight in Stockholm he was allegedly involved in before appearing at a music festival. Videos published on social media appear to show a person being violently thrown onto the ground by Rocky. A defense lawyer has said Rocky acted in self-defense.
Other recording artists have also spoken out on his behalf, including Sean “Diddy” Combs, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Nicki Minaj and Post Malone.

I wouldn’t intervene on behalf of some rapper, but Trump is doing a solid for Kanye who has always been a strong supporter.
It’s a non-issue whether it’s Trump or Obama.

I’d say the difference is, one is a group of people trying to illegally enter a country and are detained for it, and the other was performer being harassed and assaulted who stood his ground and fought back. I’m not sure what one has to do with the other.

Either that or we wouldn’t give a fuck one way or the other.

You are too smart and decent to be this dishonest. You know we did not "give" $150 billion to Iran. We unfroze their own assets/money.
