Ya Think?: Azealia Banks Regrets Riding For “Absolute Disaster” Trump
Written by djfrosty on April 22, 2025
Count Azaelia Banks as one of the people who supported President Donald Trump who is rethinking that decision. In a series of posts on X, formerly Twitter, made on Wednesday (April 16), the Harlem native was frank about Trump’s disastrous second term to this point. “Ok I think it’s time everyone who voted for Trump admit that we made a f—-g mess,” Banks wrote. “Like this is an absolute disaster.”
“He’s so petty and vindictive rn,” Banks added in a follow-up post. “Tbh, rightfully so, but not when the wellbeing and livelihood of billions of people – damn near the entire world lay in ur hands . Someone needs to get him a cute little lorazepam rx and a high-grade ashwagandha supplement because it can’t happen like this. Nobody on earth is afraid of crazy old white man anger. Old white men need to reinvent the archetype because it’s too predictable. Like China is just DUNKING on everyone right now.”
Banks has been an avid supporter of Trump dating back to before his first term in 2016 and demonstrated it by appearing at a campaign rally of his in Miami, Florida, last July along with a music promoter, Jake Inphamous. She did leave some slightly confused when she stated that she would vote for Democratic Party nominee Kamala Harris in the presidential election last year. But on the day after the election, she wrote on X: “Lmao I lied, I voted for Trump yesterday.”
The “212” rapper’s regrets are no doubt due to the chaotic way that Trump’s second term has unfolded, particularly on the economic level with his “Liberation Day” decision to impose tariffs on every country’s imported products with a severe rate imposed on China. Other moves, such as attempting to dismantle the Department of Education and his executive orders leading to the deportation of hundreds of people to El Salvador have shaken his base of supporters.
