Donald Trump has been playing all up in hip-hop's face. For the past eight years, the billionaire entrepreneur-turned-POTUS has been pandering to rap fans in what has mostly seemed like a sick joke or episode of The Boondocks playing out in real life.

He's been exploiting that formula and hip-hop culture ever since.
In 2020, after finding out Lil Pump was a fan, Trump invited the South Florida rapper to speak at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Mich. In front of a sea of people, Trump didn't even know Pump's name and referred to the artist as "Little Pimp."
