Cardi B Called Out President Trump for Arguing With Celebrities

If there's one thing you need to know about Cardi B, it's that she's completely unafraid to speak her mind. The rapper is always telling the truth — about her life, her political perspectives, and what it's like being a celebrity and a mom — whether it's on social media, in her music, or in an interview.

So, naturally, when Cardi sat down with Vogue for her January 2020 cover interview, the "Press" rapper removed her filter and touched on a ton of hot topics. With 2020 also being an election year, Cardi's conversation with Vogue turned to politics and, of course, President Donald Trump.

Previously, Cardi has called out Trump when she hopped on Instagram to criticize the government shutdown over his border wall back in January. In Vogue, Cardi similarly didn't hold back in reading Trump. She called him out for wasting time fighting with celebrities instead of leading the country — something integral to the role of president.

"I feel like not any of these Democrats have a really strong support base—I’m gonna say a fan base, because it’s almost like a fan base, what Trump has," Cardi told Vogue. "Because he was an entertainer, Trump knows how to get them to keep on talking about him. All these little antics that he do, like get into arguments with Chrissy Teigen, it’s just techniques to get attention. And I get that. You like a certain artist that do crazy sh*t."

But, as Cardi goes on to explain, the duties of the President of the United States don't include getting messy on social media. Her idea of what a president should be doing and the behavior they should be displaying is decidedly not what Trump is doing.

"But this person is in charge of our country," she said. "This person is in charge of our well-being. When it comes to my president, I want my president to be, like, extremely holy. That is the person I want to look up to. I don’t want my president to have any hatred toward a certain type of people. I don’t want my president to be arguing with freaking celebrities or caring what people think of him. I want my president to tell me an answer on shit that really matters. I don’t want my president to entertain me. I just don’t."

Before the conversation moved on, she did offer up praise for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, who she has supported in the past.

"One thing that I like about Bernie is that, you know, there’s proof that he’s been doing this for years. That he been caring about people for years," she shared. "That it’s inside of him, being a humanitarian. When I see the candidates be like, oh well, some of his bills, they not perfect. If he’s such a perfect person, why is Vermont not perfect? People are not perfect, but he has the perfect intentions. He naturally cares about minorities. He actually cares about people getting Medicare because he knows they can’t afford it. I don’t feel like he’s just saying these things ’cause he want the vote."
