‘That’s a Beautiful Day’: Ice Cube Says He Can’t Wait to See Donald Trump in Handcuffs

Ice Cube was a guest on “The Breakfast Club” on Monday and said he was eager for President Donald Trump to be arrested.

Cube was asked about Trump because he made the song “Arrest the President” in 2018, which touched on the accusation that Trump colluded with Russia to win the presidency.

“I mean you did ‘Impeach the President,’ and they did impeach the President,” said “The Breakfast Club” co-host Charlamagne Tha God.

“Yeah, I mean, I said, ‘Arrest him.’ They still haven’t gotten to arrest the president. That’s what I want to do,” Cube replied. 

Charlamagne then said that when Trump leaves the White House, he’ll “definitely be in handcuffs.”

“I can’t wait to see that, man,” said Cube. “Like Weinstein in them handcuffs, man. That’s a beautiful day.”

Former film producer Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison earlier this month after being found guilty of criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree.

A little earlier in the interview, co-host DJ Envy asked Cube if he was getting back into music, and Cube said he never left.

He said the only thing different with him these days, as far as music goes, is that he doesn’t care about the industry that much but still loves making music.

Plus, Cube said he still has a lot to say, which was evident on “Arrest the President.”

“Arrest the president, you got the evidence / That n—a is Russian intelligence / When it rains it pours / Did you know the new white was orange? / Boy, you’re showing your horns / They’re trying to replace my halo with thorns,” he rapped in the song.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
