Ahead of a private lunch, President Donald Trump and West spoke with reporters as they sat across from each other at the Resolute desk. West dominated the conversation with a series of monologues that touched on social policy, mental health, endorsement deals and his support for the president.
“Trump is on his hero’s journey right now,” West said, tossing out an expletive to describe himself.
West said that many people believe that, if you’re black, you have to be a Democrat and said he was pressured not to wear his red “Make America Great Again” hat. But he said “this hat, it gives me power.”
West credited Trump with preventing a war with North Korea and encouraged Trump to swap his usual Air Force One for a hydrogen-powered plane. West also argued that Trump deserved more respect, saying: “if he don’t look good, we don’t look good.”
During one pause in West’s comments, Trump said: “I tell you what that was pretty impressive.” He also described West as a “smart cookie.”
The rapper also spoke against stop-and-frisk policing policies, which Trump recently expressed support for. Trump said he was open to other ideas.
Trump recently tweeted praise for West, who closed a “Saturday Night Live” show wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat and delivering an unscripted pro-Trump message after the credits rolled.
West is married to reality television star Kim Kardashian West, who pushed Trump to grant a pardon for a drug offender this year.
Trump may choose West to replace Haley at the UN now that Ivanka has taken herself out of the running…the circus continues.
Its amazing how trumpf located the last living Uncle Tom into the WH. The moron has been sliced and diced by every Black person familiar w his sick pro-slavery rants and gangsta slurs. These 2 imbeciles made for each other. He just guaranteed the Black vote ain’t for the Orange Schlumpf…
Love home Hashomer’s favorite fake news station CNN called him an uneducated negro. Yet no outrage from liberals. Yup that’s right Trump is the racist
Who exactly is this West?
Love how the liberal media is in a panic as an African American is thinking outside the box.
When a black man goes against the way the racist media portray black men they are then branded crazy.
