Shameless publicity... seeker, Azealia Banks, offers batshit crazy endorsement of YamMan

Donald Trump can add another member of Hollywood to his list of supporters.

On Saturday afternoon (May 7), singer Azealia Banks expressed her support for the GOP candidate in a spree of tweets, kicking off the conversation with, "I REALLY want Donald Trump to win the election."

Azealia Banks Is Voting for Donald Trump: 'He's 'Evil Like America Is Evil'

She told her Twitter followers that her predictions about the presidential race were true: "I told you guys Bernie Sanders didn't have the clout. i told you all he wasn't going to be the nominee."

In her series of tweets, Banks defended Trump and his outspoken opinions. "Trump is an asshole but he's not been groomed and programmed on some mkultra tip to DO & SAY what the establishment wants him to," she began and added "Trump just wants the U.S to be lavish.... for all of us. I can f— with that."

When a fan responded with "Trump is blatantly racist," she defended his viewpoint and also copped to be a "racist" herself.

Banks is a talentless, crazy hack whose mere existence of a career has vexed me all along. She's not talented, she says crazy, RW things, is a homophobe, a self-admitted racist...of course she's a Trumper.

with a white hot passion and her answer to Beyonce's Lemonade was that "Beyonce needs to stay under Jay Z's foot". She's very unstable. I'm not surprised she's embracing Trump.

for herself. Apparently her music does not get her into the limelight.
