Cardi B recently made headlines for her scathing criticism of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump. In a candid interview with Rolling Stone, the chart-topping rapper didn’t hold back when discussing her feelings towards the current Commanders In Chief. She expressed her dissatisfaction with both candidates’ performance during their time in office, labeling them as failures.
Cardi specifically targeted Biden’s domestic and foreign policies, citing “layers and layers of disappointment.” She called out America’s selective funding of overseas wars, emphasizing how it has negatively impacted countries where children are being killed every single day. According to Cardi, the U.S. only intervenes in situations where it stands to benefit, ignoring the humanitarian crises in other parts of the world.
The rapper also highlighted her concerns about artists of color being silenced for speaking out about issues like the Israel-Hamas war. She expressed fears of being blackballed for sharing her opinions on controversial topics, signaling a broader problem of censorship within the entertainment industry.
Cardi didn’t shy away from criticizing Trump either, lambasting his presidency as detrimental to the country. She believes that neither Biden nor Trump have the best interests of the United States in mind, pointing to the high cost of living, low wages, and lack of substantial action to address these issues. In her view, the American people have been betrayed by their political leaders.
While Cardi’s political views may attract criticism and jokes, she is not alone in her disillusionment with the two major-party candidates. According to Pew Research, a significant portion of Americans share her sentiment, with one in four expressing dissatisfaction with both Biden and Trump. As the November election approaches, there is speculation that the political landscape may see the rise of independent candidates, reflecting a growing discontent with the current choices available to voters.
