Trump's "huge" rally featured MAGA rappers, bloated bigots and a ton of bogus claims. |
Former president Donald J. Trump held a rally in The Bronx, a borough of New York City.
Again, Democrats hold their candidates accountable. Republicans love to praise their candidates as gods and political prisoners. The hypocrisy of Republicans is just too much.
Republicans have no shame in how they operate. Democrats do not care about President Joe Biden having massive rallies. They care about protecting women's rights, voting rights, stopping Israel, Ukraine and Russia from starting a global war, holding Biden and Trump accountable for their actions and changing the status quo in politics and media.
New York rappers Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G came to endorse Trump.
Sleep Hallow was heard on Shade45 before.
Trump has 23% of the Black male vote. Trump only has 6% of the Black woman vote.
Overall Trump has 14% of the Black vote.
- Sexxy Red
- Lil Pump
- Waka Flocka Flame
- Teddy Riley
- Kanye West
- Benny the Butcher
- Forgiato Blow
- Vanilla Ice
- Suge Knight
- Kodak Black
- DaBaby
- Topher
- Shoreline Mafia OhGeesy
- Ray J
- Lil Wayne
- Takeshi 6ix9ine
The two pledged support to the former president. Some in the junk food media pointed out the two rappers have ongoing criminal trials in New York.
That "Never Surrender" with Trump's mugshot must be an appealing message to Black Republicans. Trump, the very definition of white privilege has state and federal charges.
Trump did turn himself in to Georgia, New York, Florida and Washington, DC authorities.
He was indicted by the federal government and two state governments. He was also held liable for fraud and sexual abuse. He still owes the state of New York over $490 million in damages.
He could be the first former president ever convicted of a crime. He still can run for president. Trump claims that Biden sicced the U.S. Justice Department on him. He falsely claims that this election interference.
Trump, Biden, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., are staunch supporters of Israel. It does not matter who is the president is, they will continue to allow Israel impunity with its war crimes and apartheid.
Drill rapper Sleepy Hallow boost his MAGA support for Trump. |
The two rappers certainly will face a backlash as well.
Michael Williams, better known as Sheff G, is a 25-year-old rapper whose songs and videos have millions of YouTube views and Spotify streams. He’s also a central figure in the gang case unveiled by Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez over a year ago, while he was serving a separate attempted weapons possession sentence.
Tegan Chambers, 24, who raps as Sleepy Hallow, has close to 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He faces conspiracy charges in the gang case. Both he and Sheff G have pleaded not guilty.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s appearance with suspected gang members comes as Trump is on trial himself in his New York hush money case and as he recurringly slams New York and other Democrat-run cities as crime-ridden. Trump has railed against the Manhattan district attorney who is prosecuting him for “letting violent crime run rampant all over our city.”
Sleepy Hallow gets a rousing support from the folks who don't even know who he is. |
Challenging the reelection of Biden, Trump is trying to make inroads with Black Americans, who are traditionally supportive of the Democratic Party. AP VoteCast found Trump won just 8% of Black voters nationwide in 2020 versus 91% who voted for Biden.
He has claimed that his criminal indictments have boosted his support among Black voters, comparing his legal challenges to anti-Black prejudice in the U.S. legal system.
At a rally on the Jersey Shore earlier this month, Trump was joined on stage by NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who pleaded guilty in New York in 2011 to misdemeanor criminal charges of sexual misconduct and is a registered sex offender. Taylor said he had always been a Democrat until he met Trump.
Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G were indicted last May along with 30 other gang members on a 140 count criminal indictment including murder and at least 12 shootings. Sheff G recently posted a $1.5 million cash bond to get released. And here he is with Trump.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, a Zionist openly gay insufferable Democratic lawmaker who represents the Bronx in Congress, said it is an offensive strategy for Trump to associate with people who are accused of violent crimes in order to appeal to Black voters.
“The conflation of communities of color with criminality is a racist trope that Donald Trump repeats,” said Torres, who is Black.
Images captured on Thursday show Sheff G walking into the park where the rally took place with cameras following him as teenage boys seem visibly excited at spotting the rapper. One of them said, “Oh my God. It’s Sheff G.”
Toward the end of his speech on Thursday, Trump asked his supporters, “Does everybody know Sheff G? Where is Sheff G?” before also introducing Sleepy Hallow.
“President Trump, my man,” Sheff G was heard saying before Trump gestured to him to approach the microphone.
“One thing I want to say: They are always going to whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures. Trump is going to shout the wins for all of us,” Sheff G told the crowd before Sleepy Hallow moved to the microphone to utter Trump’s slogan “Make America Great Again.”
A spokesman for Trump’s campaign was asked about whether the campaign knew about the charges and whether it was the former president who sought the rappers’ support or the other way around.
Sheff G joins the MAGA circus of buffoonery. |
“As Sheff G said: ‘They always whisper your accomplishments and shout your failures.’” campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded in an email.
A spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service, which provides protection for Trump and secures his rallies, did not respond to a request for comment about Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow’s appearance on stage.
Trump called other speakers to the stage Thursday, including Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida and the Rev. Ruben Diaz Sr., a former Democratic city council member in New York and state senator. Diaz is an anti-LGBTQ agitator who challenged Torres in the 2020 primary but lost. He endorsed Trump.
Also attending this rally was Forgiato Blow, the Florida rapper who calls himself the "Mayor of Magaville." He has ties to the Proud Boys and is under federal watch for his appearance at the Jan. 6 insurrection. He filmed a music video at Capitol while it was being attacked.
The New York Police and Fire Department unions likely endorsed Trump. Wondering how they fell about the former president having two indicted men who had likely carried out orders on NYPD officers at the behest of their top capos.
Trump's calvary of grifters were in New York. The idiots were from Florida and Texas. |
Both Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow are due back in court next month. Sheff G’s attorney, Arthur Aidala, said Friday that “intense litigation” was ongoing and “we’re cautiously optimistic that Mr. Williams will be exonerated.” A message seeking comment on the case was left with Sleepy Hallow’s attorney.
After being paroled in his weapons case in June 2023, Sheff G was held on the new charges until last month, when a judge set bail at $1.5 million cash. Sleepy Hallow was released on $200,000 bail in May 2023.
Prosecutors say Sheff G’s money fueled and rewarded multiple shootings as members of the 8 Trey Crips and affiliated 9 Ways gangs affiliates battled foes. He treated Sleepy Hallow and others to a steak dinner to celebrate an October 2020 shooting that killed a purported member of a rival gang and injured five others, prosecutors say.
“It is how, in part, Sheff G and Tegan Chambers — Sleepy Hallow — assert influence, right? Because they take people out, and they’re able to spend money, and they’re able to encourage others to do some of the gang violence that’s just critically important to them and their status in the community,” Gonzalez said at a May 2023 news conference with New York Mayor Eric Adams. Both are Democrats.
Prosecutors have said they have surveillance video, text messages, social media posts, cell phone data and more to back up the allegations. While Gonzalez has noted that the rappers’ songs refer to gang retaliation and some of their rivals, he has said the lyrics weren’t used as evidence.
Prosecutors also say Sheff G chauffeured three co-defendants to and from an April 2021 shooting that targeted a gang rival but instead hit two bystanders.
The DA’s office declined to comment Friday on the case.
