Who Has Time…?
...for the President and his antics? Dude is going into overdrive to discredit and disrespect 4 Democratic Congresswomen of color.

Playing his “I’m not racist, I have Black friends” card, Trump also appears to be working with Swedish authorities to get A$AP Rocky home after he’s been in jail for roughly three weeks pending assault charges. Sweden isn’t feeling his interference though, so it may make things harder for A$AP down the road.
