Frank Ocean on Donald Trump: “The World Can See America Divided”

Frank Ocean has shared his thoughts on Donald Trump’s inauguration as 45th president of the United States in a new note, posted to his Tumblr. “I’m really excited for the inauguration crowd numbers to come in,” it reads. “Don’t cook the books either, Donald. We all know your event was dry. No matter how many times CNN anchors repeat ‘majestic or peaceful transition of power.’ The world can see America divided and the chaos in the streets.”

Ocean goes on to address now-former president Barack Obama. “Barack, we love you, but it would’ve been equally presidential if you would’ve just walked on out while Donald got through that struggle speech trashing your career,” he wrote. “The majority knows man, we know you did good. We see it. The majority sees Donald for who he is too. He ain’t slick. And it’s too bad the majority doesn’t count. In any event, a first family that I can relate to will be missed. Really though.” Find the note here.

Earlier this month, Ocean briefly expressed his support for Meryl Streep’s anti-Trump rhetoric at the Golden Globes.
