After 2018, it's safe to say #Kanye2020 has lost its appeal, but some think that Cardi B might be more suited for the role of the President of the United States. Most will agree that celebrities should stay out of politics, but that line has already been blurred. Earlier today, Trump ordered thousands of government workers to return to their job, but they still won't be getting paid due to the ongoing government shutdown. Cardi B took to Instagram to air out her frustrations about Trump's move and urge the public to take a stand.

Cardi B might not work for the government, but she does feel for the federal workers who must return to work without pay. Although Trump isn't the first president to implicate a government shutdown, Cardi B pointed out that the only reason Obama shut down the government was for the purpose of healthcare.

"Trump is now ordering, as in summoning, federal government workers to go back to work without getting paid," she said. "Now, I don't want to hear any of y'all mothafuckas talkin' 'bout, 'Oh, but Obama shut down the government for 17 days.' Yeah, bitch! For Healthcare! So your grandma could check her blood pressure and you bitches could go check y'all pussy at the gynecologist with no mothafuckin' problem."

She continued: "This shit is really fuckin' serious, bro. This shit is crazy. Like, our country is in a hellhole right now. All for a fuckin' wall."
