YG Rips Donald Trump and Explains What He Would Do If He Was Elected President

YG is still not a big fan of President Trump.

YG has not exactly made his distaste for Donald Trump a secret. His anthem "FDT" has only grown in stature since Trump was elected last November, with the rapper reportedly going as far as to break a $60,000 contract in order to play his protest song at a college concert in March.

The Compton native isn't backing down from his stance on Trump, either, and when he was asked about what he thinks the biggest lie in the world is by the folks at Montreality recently, he took aim at a familiar foe.

"Right now the biggest lie is Trump trying to make America great again. That's the biggest lie right now," YG said. "The whole system is corrupted, and it ain't really what they say it is. It's all really politics and who you know behind the scenes and shit. You think shit is a certain way, but it's really not. It's really no rules. They playing the game on politics, relationships. They ain't even going by the law, they playing ball how they playing ball."

YG was also given the opportunity to share what he would do if he ever took office as the President of the United States. After referencing Nas' classic record "If I Ruled the World" by belting out, "I'd free all my dogs," he went through a laundry list of policies he'd try to implement as Commander in Chief.

While the last part obviously wouldn't fly on the standard political platform, a lot of what YG said meshes with the platform of former presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders. Free college, lower mandatory minimums, equal opportunity for all American families—it sure sounds like YG was on the Sanders bandwagon.

You can watch YG's full interview with Montreality above. He talks about his presidential aspirations at the start of the video along with his thoughts on Trump's lie at the 5:20 mark.
