Azealia Banks — who it was just announced will not face charges for allegedly assaulting a security guard at a Los Angeles club — is supporting Donald J. Trump in his candidacy for the office of President of the United States of America. In a series of tweets last night, the outspoken, controversial rapper gave her coveted endorsement to the outspoken, controversial reality TV host, saying that the Donald is “the only one who truly has the balls to bust up big business. Hilary is too tied in with them and Bernie has no clout.”
To be fair, her tweetstorm makes some salient points about how America depends on a “systematically oppressed underclass,” though it’s tricky to see how that line of logic follows through to her conclusion that “Donald trump is evil like America is evil and in order for America to keep up with itself it needs him.” In any case, this is good news for Trump — the golden-haired frontrunner has had trouble finding musicians who want to be associated with his campaign. Now that Banks is in his corner, though, we’re sure Iowa voters will love to sing along with the lyrics to “212.”
Also, Banks announced that she’s releasing a new song called “The Big Beat” on February 7. We’ll believe it when we see it.
Ok so, I think I’m ready to admit that I’m going to vote for Donald Trump.

Just because Hilary Clinton and Bernie sanders say nice things about minorities doesn’t mean they actually mean them — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
Politicians have been saying “nice” things about colored folks and we’ve still been getting fucked.

I only trust this country to be what it is: full of shit. takes shit to know shit so we may as well, put a piece of shit in the White House — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
I have no hope for America. It is what it is. Capitalist, consumerist, racist land of make believe. Its inherently evil and must feed …

On others for it to survive. I didn’t create it. I’m not proud of it . But I am here…. And it’s all I know. — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
I was having a conversation over dinner with a friend about “the greater good of America” and what it means figuratively and literally

Like, how could the American Dream at this point survive without relying on a systematically oppressed underclass — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
Can it ? … It can’t. It’s fucked up to know that in order for me to have this first world life someone somewhere else is suffering

But what do you do? And what does it mean? Do societies naturally organize themselves this way? Is this fate or conspiracy ? — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
I’m very pro-Africa and pro-africana but American exceptionalism and the American paradigm is super interesting to me.

Just how this web of lies and oppression has spawned itself into this global influence and made people proud to be a part of it — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
So proud that they’ll fight and die for it.

In conclusion, I think Donald trump is evil like America is evil and in order for America to keep up with itself it needs him. — azealiabanks (@AZEALIABANKS) February 1, 2016
