Trump hosts Kanye for surreal Oval Office meeting
By Jordan Fabian - 10/11/18 01:18 PM EDT
President Trump on Thursday hosted Kanye West for a wild meeting in the Oval Office days after the rapper made a public display of support for the president.
Trump said, "Kanye has been a friend of mine for a long time" as West, who was wearing a red "Make America Great Again" hat, sat across from him at the Resolute Desk.
The mercurial rap star then launched into a 10-minute monologue touching on his own mental health, the pitfalls of the prison system and the importance of improving life for African-Americans in inner cities.
West also heaped praise on Trump, saying the president has "bravery" for trying to tackle criminal justice issues.
"This is our president. He has to be the freshest. The flyest," the "Famous" rapper said.
West also addressed some of the blowback he's received in the entertainment industry for supporting Trump, who has been criticized for inflaming racial tensions with his comments about white nationalist violence and protesting NFL players.
“[Trump] might not have expected a crazy motherf---er like Kanye running up to support," he said, according to reporters in the room.
Trump returned the favor, saying Kanye "can speak for me any time he wants. He’s a smart cookie. He gets it."
"Could very well be," Trump said when asked if West could run for president.
“Only after 2024," West responded.

Are you high? The GOP has been bitching like little girls about how the Hollywood set dismisses them and treats them mean. Now that we have legit A list celebs like Kanye voicing support for policies and ideas the pearl clutchers are back to bitching that they don't like the cut of his jib. Eff that noise.

Agree. Watch for the crack to widen in democrat control over black voters. Thanks to Trump.

There is no way in hell that Rat power brokers watching a billionaire rapper go off praising Trump didn't collectively shit their pants in fear of losing their major voting block.

I love it. Headei out, to listen to Scott Adams' take on this, from his periscope podcast.
He has been big, on Trump's inroads with blacks.
If just a few percent of blacks, Hispanics shift to Trump, the dems are in very deep caca.

I like to see this, especially since it bugs the liberals so much.
but..........................
The MSM/left is trying to paint him as bipolar and ignorant.
Saying MFer in the oval office has given them fuel for their argument.
It would have been wiser not to give it to them so easily.

Because he is. Apparently, MAGA hats and mental illnesses give you superpowers.
West revealed he has bipolar disorder, and he doesn’t view it as a disadvantage. On the track “Yikes,†West’s lyrics state, “That’s my bipolar shit,†adding, “That’s my superpower n----, ain’t no disability.†He later spoke to radio host Big Boy, confirming he was “diagnosed with a mental condition.†In the interview, West emphasizes again that he feels his disorder is his super power because it is part of what allows him to create.

I suspect that, like Omarosa, Kanye is taking the verbal lashing for the "greater good"... whatever that may be. When he turns on Trump, it will be a PR spectacle deluxe.... you can count on that. Kanye donated to Hillary For America in 2015 and for Obama in 2014. Do people really think he has changed that much... and that fast? How naive, really, are they?

Since he became such a MAGA icon, I've wondered whether or when West will announce that he was just kidding, he still hates all Republicans.

Yep. I'm just not buying the "sudden switch". Especially considering the deep state silent coup attempts and the current vitriolic environment in DC.

Kanye West...without Kim Kardashian's contribution, has more money that he could spend.
That's the beauty of being about to speak his mind in peace. It could also help explain Pres. Trump's success in speaking plainly to America.
Kanye doesn't care about being called a house bleep. He and President care for each other...you can see it.

This thread needs more Kardashian......

Are you suggesting the President shun Kanye in advance of his turning on him? @XenaLee
How would you advise the President to treat NTs who now support him?

Oh hell no. Trump can just play along and let it "play out"....
which is what I figure he's doing. But... always keeping a 'trust but verify' stance. He should remain vigilant.... ever vigilant... when dealing with ""former lefties"". That's the same advice I give myself...lol.
