Chris Brown has taken to Instagram with an unexpected suggestion: placing Donald Trump’s face on the $100 bill if he manages to shut down the IRS.
In a surprising move, R&B star Chris Brown openly expressed his support for Donald Trump via his Instagram Stories. He playfully suggested that if Trump succeeds in dismantling the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), he should be honored by having his face on the $100 bill.
Although no official announcement has been made about shuttering the IRS, Trump is gearing up to make major changes once back in office. Former congressman Billy Long is lined up to lead the IRS and is in favor of abolishing it, with ideas of instituting a national sales tax instead.
Trump’s administration aims to cut IRS funding, diverging from previous attempts to expand the service. Such changes would significantly affect how taxes are collected and who gets targeted. Meanwhile, Billy Long’s appointment signals a clear intention to steer away from earlier strategies.
Despite his current supportive stance, Chris Brown has not always been a Trump enthusiast. Back in 2016, Brown criticized Trump during a concert, voicing his concerns about racial tensions and urging Black communities to stand together.
He shared strong opinions on social media about Trump’s impact on minority groups and accused white artists of appropriating Black culture without acknowledgment. His passionate outcry highlighted the resilience and creativity of racially oppressed communities, emphasizing the cultural contributions that often go unrecognized.
Chris Brown’s recent comments show a shift in tone, providing a glimpse into his evolving political views. Whether it’s a playful quip or a genuine suggestion, it highlights the complexity of celebrity opinions on politics.
