Trump Wants to Help Free Rapper A$AP Rocky from a Swedish Prison and We Don’t Care

Rapper A$AP Rocky was detained and jailed in Sweden for a fight that occurred on June 30 while on tour in Stockholm. Although there was a video of the altercation, it was not clear who the aggressor was. However, the video does show Rocky violently throwing a man to the ground. The rapper, born Rakim Mayers, along with two friends, has been in police custody without any charges since July 3.

A$AP Rocky claimed he acted in self-defense and even tried to avoid the fight. The rapper has complained about conditions in the Swedish prison, according to a report in Complex. However, published photos indicate that prison life in Sweden is rather comfortable. Unlike the American prison system, the goal is to rehabilitate versus punish inmates, according to a 2015 exposé in Mic.

As Rocky continues to “languish” in jail in Sweden, President Trump stepped in to help free the rapper. It pays to have friends in high places. On July 19, Trump wrote via Twitter: “I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved!”
