Ice-T makes a great point.
Today, Donald Trump was officially inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States. While many are impressed by his ability to reclaim his spot in the White House, others question whether his criminal conviction should have disqualified him from holding office. Is this a loophole in the system, or is it how things are meant to be?
Legendary rapper Ice-T weighed in on the debate with a thought-provoking tweet: “If a FELON can become President… Why keep it on Job applications…? Just saying.”
Ice-T raises an important point. Regardless of whether you believe Trump’s conviction was justified, it’s undeniable that being convicted of a crime would disqualify someone from many jobs. Yet here we are, with a convicted felon serving as president. For those who feel it’s unfair for felons to face obstacles in the job market (as I do), Trump’s presidency might force a reevaluation of how we treat job applications. Ultimately, it seems Ice-T is advocating for systemic change, and his argument deserves respect and consideration.
