Terrence Howard has expressed a potential interest in running for President of the United States, stating in an interview with TMZ that he may need to seek the office if others are unwilling to make a significant difference. The "Empire" star was approached by reporters in New York City on Wednesday; when asked about his plans to vote, he revealed a more ambitious goal, confirming he is looking forward to becoming president.
When pressed on the seriousness of his statement, Howard maintained his position, arguing that someone must take action if current leaders fail to create change. His proposed campaign platform focuses heavily on reparations. Howard stated he would like to meet with President Trump to discuss the lasting impact of slavery, suggesting that descendants of enslaved individuals should be exempt from federal taxes for the next 400 years.
Howard believes this measure would help close the economic gap and drive investment into Black communities, describing it as a method to heal "400 years of bad karma." During the encounter, the actor also shared his thoughts on Nicki Minaj's relationship with Trump, questioning whether she is utilizing her political influence for the right reasons. The interaction highlighted Howard's clear political ambitions and his desire to address historical economic disparities through federal policy.
