How is this acceptable? Melanias spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham tweeted Saturday evening, adding the hashtags #disgusting and #boycottT.I.
The fuss began when the rapper tweeted out Friday a promotional video for his new album Dime Trap. The clip is only a minute long, but it packs a lot of shock into those brief 60 seconds.
It opens with real footage of President Trump walking alone to a helicopter. Dubbed over the video is a voice-over: Melania Trump did not go to Mar-a-Lago with the president this weekend, which has a lot of people wondering.
