Akon who spoke with
Newsweek, hinted on contesting against Donald Trump in 2020. According to
him, Donald Trump’s stance on a lot of
things has him concerned about the future of the country.
“I’ve been thinking about
running for 2020 very seriously. But I didn’t want to just do it because I feel
like I want to continue doing what I’m doing and hope that builds me enough
momentum [for people] to say, ‘You know what, if you run we’ll support you.’”
“I feel unempowered.
Honestly, I feel it’s gonna be a fight. I feel like I should be always prepared
for the unexpected. I feel very uncomfortable.”
He continued, “And I feel a
lot of Americans do; even some white Americans feel that way because they’re
watching backlash of his decisions. It’s not what’s happening now, because it’s
clear it’s creating a whole bunch of divide today. But I think tomorrow that
impact is going to be so much more devastating.”
On how things were under
previous President Barack Obama, before Trump took office in January 2017, Akon
said;
“We really came a long way
to get people to come together, and look at each other as humans, and work
towards a common cause,” he told the magazine. “And now it seems like
everything that was done is being undone, with gangs and race groups
reemerging. It’s just horrible.”
