Ice Cube is currently trending on Twitter after Trump campaign senior advisor Katrina Pierson publicly thanked the Hip-Hop icon for helping with assisting the President on developing “The Platinum Plan.” Paterson wrote on Tuesday, “Shoutout to @icecube for his willingness to step up and work with @realDonaldTrump Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan ICYMI: cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-files/p… Leaders gonna lead, haters gonna hate. Thank you for leading!” Last month, Trump unveiled the “Platinum Plan” which is aimed to shovel capital, jobs and opportunities into Black communities. According to Bloomberg, it will commit to unlocking $500 billion in access to capital, creating 3 million new jobs, and bridging historic disparities in health care and education. The campaign also pledges that Trump will even make Juneteenth a national holiday if he is reelected,” the news site notes. On Sunday, Cube released a video revealing that he met with both Republicans and Democrats but stated that no president in the entire history of this country has ever done right by Black people. Cube, 51, has yet to speak out on the plan or officially endorse any candidate, fans have already begun tweeting away with reactions. One person said: “I’m old enough to remember when Ice Cube mocked Eazy-E for having dinner with President George HW Bush which was Eazy trolling Bush, not supporting him, but we’re in 2020 so up is down.”
