“Like I was watching War http://documentaries.No matter how many weapons a country have you need people ! How are you trying to go against a country and possibly start a war when this country lacks patriotism? I barely see people claiming they LOVE being American,” she tweeted.

Last year, Cardi B seemed down on the idea of running for office.

However, in a GQ interview, the rapper confessed to a deep admiration for former President Franklin Roosevelt.
“First of all, he helped us get over the Depression, all while he was in a wheelchair,” she said. “Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great — make America great again for real. He’s the real ‘Make America Great Again,’ because if it wasn’t for him, old people wouldn’t even get Social Security.”
“I love political science,” she said. “I love government. I’m obsessed with presidents. I’m obsessed to know how the system works.”
Cardi B also had something very much like praise for former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
“I would say she was almost like Michelle Obama,” the rapper said.
