See, how those pesky facts getting in the way of conservatives being dishonest?

....and what exactly is the point of "confronting" the worlds biggest oil producer, who everybody, including Barrak Obama, has been brown nosing forever, for the murder of an islamist activist? The current Saudi King is actually ever so carefully trying to move away from radical Wahabism. That is something you want to stop?
I suppose they did not show you the original video of the conflagration on CNN. What you see if you go outside the CNN bubble is that these rappers were harrassed endlessly by two Middle Easter immigrants and simply defended themselves. But I guess the moment Trump says something about it, the orange man bad syndrome kicks in.

Twitter trolls like the Swedish Prime Minister! LOL!
Swedish prime minister warns Donald Trump he cannot influence ASAP Rocky judicial process

Twitter trolls are actually asking Rocky to just do his time so as not to help Trump by getting released. Trump doing a good thing for a US citizen and all liberals want to talk about is non citizens.

LOL!
Trump Promised Worldwide Respect for America, You Know What Happened Next

If only Trump would put this much effort into confronting the Saudia Prince who butchered Jamal Khashoggi.
Why should Trump get involved with the killing of a Saudi by other Saudis in Turkey? Wouldn't that be meddling?

The kid will be ok, it’s Sweden for Christ sakes, let’s just see what happens, they have the best prisons anywhere on the planet.

The video from ASAP Rocky seems to show that they clearly tried to defuse the situation for a long time. But that said, it didn't show why the guys were obsessively following them in the first place (did something happen?) nor what happened to start the fight, and therefore whether or not the violence was in self-defense or an attack.
Weird that Trump is getting involved. Good luck I guess. Though I don't know why American citizens should be exempt from the legal system in countries that treat their prisoners with human rights.

Reminds me of how the 'Pubs did it for eight years of Obama.

President Trump is now going to personally intervene for the many Americans taken to custody after a bar fight.
Best president ever...

As most of Hollywood, especially the liberal nut jobs...Alyssa Milano, Chris Evans, Don Cheadle....lol
It would be a smart political move, but going by the economy and the lowest Black unemployment, it wouldn’t hurt.
Oh, here we go.....lol The first black President didn’t do anything for the Black community, this President has done more in the 3 years than his predecessor.

1) Well......if you see the video. The Afghans followed and harassed the rapper. They attempted several times to diffuse the situation. They initiated the assault!

2) Kardashian, Kanye and Dump are culture vultures and opportunist. They are doing whatever they can do to stay relevant. The Black community will vote for Dump because he frees ASAP Rocky.
Most people in the Black community don't really care about him and finds the situation ironic because ASAP Rocky in the past have said that he has no interested in the tragedies in the Black community despite growing up poor.
Most people have been laughing and making fun of ASAP Rocky in social media.

Even Dems in Congress are asking for this. So its not a publicity stunt, Trump is acting against human rights violations.
Blacklabel
And Trump is taking action on that issue. Bipartisan action. Any credit? Nope.

ASAP can’t be trusted? Why would this kid get himself into trouble like this? I think the President should carefully look at the case, but depending on the outcome if he can’t or won’t bring him back then he’ll just have to be at the mercy of the Swedes and there’s a bright side to all of this, the Swedes have the best prisons, he would have access to everything, you’ll almost feel as if you’re in a Summer camp. He might not even want to leave or because many are closing, it might not even come to that.

Naw, I lived in DC for a year and that place is the very definition of slime and corruption.

So, you all don’t want ASAP Rocky out of jail? It’s funny how whatever President Trump does, his haters will look for a way to denigrate him about it.
PTownsend
Perhaps if the Kardashians and Kanye West asked him he might. They'd tell Trump his followers could then claim their 'leader' is not a racist. In their minds, at least.
Who knows where truth lies in this, especially when Trump's clearly shown (to all but his truest true believers) he canNOT be trusted. Slimy, corrupt businessman. Slimier, even more corrupt politician.

They beat the crap out of some kid and they don't want to do their time... if they were in America Trump wouldn't lift a finger to help them.
