Ice Cube Is A … Trump Supporter?
Never thought we’d have to ask this question, but yet again, 2020 is full of surprises. It seems as though Ice Cube MAY have thrown a bit of support behind Trump. However, we’re hoping it’s not exactly what it seems.
It all started when Trump’s Senior Advisor Katrina Pierson thanked Cube for his willingness to work with the MAGA team.
Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan

Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading! ✊🏾

According to Ice Cube himself, this “Platinum Plan” Pierson speaks of seems to be an extension of Cube’s “Contract With Black America” (CWBA) proposal, in which he sought to address racial inequality.
Facts: I put out the CWBA. Both parties contacted me. Dems said we’ll address the CWBA after the election. Trump campaign made some adjustments to their plan after talking to us about the CWBA.

However, even with the former NWA rapper providing some clarity, fans are still perplexed…
How it started. How it's going.

Ice Cube on Trump:
2016: "Do I think he’s gonna do anything to help poor people or people that’s struggling? No"
2018: "He’s violating the country in a lot of ways. Every day it’s something. It’s just every day.
2020: “I can’t wait to see [Trump] like Weinstein in handcuffs." pic.twitter.com/cwFPr6KSDU

The same time Ice Cube was screaming FUCK THE POLICE, donald trump was still calling for the death penalty of Central Park 5.

What's fucked up about this Ice Cube situation, he didn't have the courage to say he was working with Trump, he used BLACKNESS as his platform to speak on Trump behalf. He's a coward, we had to learn about his partnership with Trump from a white woman 20 days before an election.

Do you think Cube is “supporting” Trump or is he just leveraging the moment to advance a great purpose (his CWBA)?
