Vanilla Ice Praises Trump
This isn’t the first time that Vanilla Ice has rung in the new year with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate, as he also did so two years ago.
“He’s a legend, bro. Trump? Forget about the presidency,” Vanilla Ice said at the time of that performance, according to The Wrap.
“First of all, I don’t vote. I don’t care about politics, never have. Never registered,” he continued. “Have no opinion about anything. Have no… I have fans on both sides of all that, and I would never alienate them. And I just look at it like, you guys get caught up in that mess.
“You go sit in your voting line — they don’t pay you. They don’t pay you to go form an opinion about that guy or this guy, but yet you fall victim to all of it, right?” Vanilla Ice added. “Like, turn the news channel off.”

Vanilla Ice Urges People To ‘Go To Florida’
Not stopping there, Vanilla Ice offered a recommendation to others who may want to ignore politics.
“Go to Florida — this is why Florida exists,” he explained. “We have palm trees and piña coladas. While you’re sitting in your voting line, watching your news channel like, ‘I don’t like Trump, I don’t like Biden, I don’t like what’s going on in my life.’”
After claiming that he’s “lived through dozens of presidents,” Vanilla Ice said, “Man, ain’t nothing ever changed. Why would you fall victim to the propaganda, to the opinion-forming — they don’t pay you a penny!”
Vanilla Ice ended his comments by giving his thoughts on the younger generation.
“Wisdom is a thing that we all need, and Generation X knows it more than anybody on the planet,” the rapper stated. “And I feel sorry for the kids growing up in this world today, playing Fortnite and s–t. That’s not reality. Let’s get real, man.”
“Reality is what you and I are doing right now: We’re talking in person, public, and seeing each other not through the computer screen,” he concluded. “We are the last living generation that will ever know what it’s like to live without a computer. That will never happen again. We are the last living ones.”

The vast majority of entertainers would be far too afraid of the cancel culture mob to ever ring in the new year with Trump. We applaud Vanilla Ice for continuing to have the guts to party with Trump publicly, and we hope that they both enjoyed their New Years celebration!
