Hip Hop Mogul Russell Simmons gave his long time friend and President of the United States Donald Trump a clear warning to “Wake the F up” In response to Trump’s insulting and racist response to the white supremacist terror in Charlottesville, the hip-hop mogul wrote in a piece published in the New York Daily News.
“If you do not change your course immediately, you will go down in history as the great divider, the destroyer of the environment and the embodiment of everything we as Americans have fought so hard to call ours,” “The racist, bigoted movements you are feeding now are gaining power by your words, actions and refusal to hold people accountable for the destruction they are causing in your name.”
“The racist, bigoted movements you are feeding now are gaining power by your words, actions and refusal to hold people accountable for the destruction they are causing in your name.”
In the letter Simmons also reminisced on how Trump used to be:
“Do you remember all of your New York Jewish and African-American friends you probably spent more time hanging out with than all the WASPs you could find? Do you remember making sure Jews who were turned away at other country clubs had an open door policy at Mar-a-lago?
“I do. That was the Donald I called a friend. That is the Donald I know. Where is he now? I have to believe he is still in there, somewhere.”
“Is this the legacy you want to leave behind? Your children’s legacy and your grandchildren’s legacy? On the road you are on, old friend, the Trump name will come to be regarded in American history as a wannabe dictator who surrounded himself with bigots, white supremacists, and money-hungry wolves.”
Simmons ended with, “You can find your highest self. You can become conscious. Scripture tells us the Donald I knew — or an even greater Donald — is still there inside you, sleeping. It is time to wake him the f—- up.”
Will President Trump be moved by his long time friend Russell Simmons or will he continue to divide our nation and go down as the first “wanna be” Dictator of the United States? Tell us your thought.
