. . .and President Trump, who has been trying to win his release at the behest of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, isn’t happy about it:
Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States. I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers. Treat Americans fairly! #FreeRocky

Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem! #FreeRocky

Get the bombers in the air, Mr. President:
If we didn’t elect Trump to bomb Sweden back to the dark ages when they hold or rappers hostage then why are we even doing this?

NATO must act to free A$AP Rocky. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Sweden should suffer the consequences of their actions.

Sweden’s got one of ours? Time to take one of theirs.

Ted Cruz did warn us this could happen:

Exit question: Would he still be in jail if this hadn’t turned into an international incident?
A$AP gotta be lowkey furious with Kim and Kanye since Sweden is probably gonna go extra hard on him cause Trump is out here tweeting lol
