Chris Brown has come out as a Donald Trump fan and praised the incumbent president over potential plans to overhaul the IRS (Internal Revenue Service).
In a post on his Instagram Stories, the R&B singer wrote: “Anyone else hoping that Trump shuts down the IRS? If he pull that off… PUT THAT MAN ON THE hundred dollar bill.”
While Trump has not announced plans to shutter the IRS, he is set to make major changes to the federal government department once he takes office later this month.
Former Republican congressman Billy Long is set to be appointed by Trump to run the IRS in a bid to reverse his predecessor’s bid to expand the service and target wealthy individuals avoiding tax.

Long has previously voiced support to abolish the IRS and create a national sales tax.
Trump has also expressed plans to cut funding to the IRS, even though the department had been seeking more money.
Though he now appears to be on the Trump train, Chris Brown previously voiced criticism of the two-time president.
Back in 2016, as Trump was making his first bid for office, Breezy said during a concert: “Man, this shit is getting crazy. Black people getting assaulted at fuckin’ rallies where you’re supposed to talk at. Trump and all that bullshit.
“What you need to start doing, all these black people, go together. 40, 50 deep. See what they do then. Keep touching us, mothafucka.”
The singer also posted a lengthy caption on social media expressing concern over the way that Black people had been criticized by Trump and his supporters, and taking aim at white artists for appropriating Black music.
“FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK THE PIGS! TO SEE THIS EVIL SHIT IS SO WRONG! GOD WILL HAVE HIS REVENGE! TRUST ME!” he wrote. “WITHOUT OUR BLACK CULTURE, ASIAN CULTURE, LATIN CULTURE, MUSLIMS, AND ANY RACE THAT YOU DONT APPROVE OF HELP YOU TO BE WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE.
“NOT TO MENTION WE ARE THE MOST CREATIVE, OPPRESSED, resilient, And HARD WORKERS, without out us your just another simple minded scared little man.
