Trump is America’s first Hip-Hop president

Here's my take on Donald Trump, the president.

Please recall when Bill Clinton was called our “First Black President.” It was a famous statement by Toni Morrison, later picked up by the Black Caucus.

I respectfully suggest that Trump is our “First Hip-Hop President.” He's brash and loud. He lies and exaggerates to inflate his own ego.

And he has a lot of money spread around -- the essence of hip-hop style.

Josh Copeland, Conway
