Cardi B is worried that her outspoken criticism of Donald Trump could lead to mass deportation as she slammed his use of military power during immigration protests in Los Angeles.
Cardi B did not back down on President Trump’s decision to send the National Guard and Marines to ice to demonstrate, calling it “a resonance of dictatorship.”
The Bronx-born rapper said she was concerned that public opposition to the former president could have dangerous consequences for immigrant communities.
Cardi B is deeply worried that her words can be weaponized against vulnerable groups.
“Personally, the reason I really say what I can say about it every day, guess what? Nothing will happen because Trump didn’t give me a f###, or what I have to say,” Cardi B said.
“I personally believe he doesn’t like me. So, if someone doesn’t like you, right? I think if I say something, he’ll say, “I, because you want to talk about ###, so I’m a 500-man expulsion today, just for p ### you,” Cardi B continued.
She admits that her influence is limited in the current political climate. The Grammy Award winner said she no longer has any connections in the White House and is powerless to do anything about swing policies.
Cardi B also urged Donald Trump to consider the human nature of immigration and point out their contribution to the country. She warned that tough law enforcement strategies and raids will only exacerbate the unrest.
“We might be stuck in ruins. You never know what tomorrow brings. I feel like covid f ##### shows us that. And everything that happens with the economy, and even more. Never abuse power. No one is stronger than God.”
The cited unrest Cardi B has been under construction nationwide.
On Saturday (June 14), more than 2,000 “King-free” protests were planned in all 50 states, aiming to oppose what organizers call authoritarians called by the Donald Trump administration.
The demonstrations coincide with President Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army and his 79th birthday.
Groups like the Indivisible Group and the ACLU are leading the charges, calling for peaceful resistance and refusing to use military power in domestic politics.
Law enforcement officers are on high alert after limited clashes in Los Angeles amid recent immigration protests.
Organizers say the campaign is about protecting democracy and civil rights and is expected to participate in millions nationwide.
