Rapper Kanye West met Thursday with Donald Trump, telling the President in an Oval Office meeting before reporters why he supports the Republican.
"There was something about putting this hat on that made me feel like Superman," West said, as part of an extended soliloquy that spanned topics from his mental health to prison reform to what kind of plane Trump should fly in.
West also said the President is on a "hero's journey."
"Let's stop worrying about the future, all we have is today," West said, commenting on his own presidential ambitions. "Trump is on his hero's journey right now. He might not have thought he'd have a crazy mother-f***r like me (supporting him)."

Fo Shizzle.

Eh... I don't trust Kanye West any more than I trusted Omarosa. And Trump shouldn't either.

I don't know. That rambling unintelligible speech he gave seemed genuine......at least the parts I understood. Omarosa has a history of being a piece of shit.
-
Kanye West will cause a lot of black folk to re-evaluate what they think they know about republicans.

So does Kanye. I was horrified that Victoria's Secret chose him to sing at one of their TV events. At best, he's multi-persona mentally unbalanced. At worst, he's just getting free publicity and will probably turn on Trump as soon as it's expedient and convenient. He has been diagnosed as bi-polar, too. Wacko.
-

:amen:
It's good to have someone from the music industry who is an outspoken Trump supporter, but he's always been a little too far out there for me.
-

I'll believe it when I see it.
It's so much easier to be a "victim" then it is to take command of your life and accept responsibility for the bad things that happen. Also, there is a power structure within the Black community that depends on continuing the perception that they are victims and only govt. can solve the problem. Overcoming this perception and expected view of the world is pretty tough when this view is reinforced in elected representatives, the local influential figures, the culture, and the media. Add in that you are considered a traitor to your race if you're not a Rat and it will be a shock if Pubs can get more than 10% of the Black vote.

He's not going to flip. Kanye West can converse on any political issue you choose.
The cherry on top is that he's been a generation's Elvis. Now, we're supposed to call him a persona non grata?

I don't know what that means. That he's been popular? So what.
But I'm sticking with with my gut feeling and with that olde adage that a leopard can't change its spots. And similarly, Kanye can't change who he is. I don't know what his motivation is....
but I just can't trust him.

Trust him with what? Kanye is the one taking the risk @XenaLee --- he's one heartbeat away from being a persona non grata -- and worse. Especially after this:

I don't understand this sudden distrust of Kanye. He's not exactly a prime orator but his heart seems to be in the right place so why not give him a little space before condemning him.
-
He, himself admits he's bipolar and off his medications, apparently that mean he's off the dem plantation too. Saying motherfu**** in the Oval Office (on camera) just seems a bit over the top, but that's probably just my TDS.
-
West is still a jackass (the one thing Obama was right about) with no discernable talent (except for promoting himself), but he serves a purpose. If his support for Trump helps turn blacks away from the Thug Party, it's good.

Well... obviously.... trust him with this "newfound" love of Trump and/or anything on the right. I think he will turn on Trump, just as Omarosa did.

Well, he's got the Black liberal community all het up, so I call that a good thing.
As for his language in the Oval Office, I don't like it at all, but I don't like my friends on Facebook tossing around the F Word all the time either. Why????

Yeah, well.... I don't really care what black men think or want. I think Kim would have to be mentally ill to change her looks that drastically (Michael Jackson mentally ill) and make herself look that unnatural. And all just to cater to what a man (or men) want? Sickly stupid.

Reminds me of an olde Twilight Zone episode.... where a young girl was going in for plastic surgery so she could look like 'everybody else' and fit in. Turned out, her looks were already attractive. The 'everybody else' looks were monster-level ugly. Gotta fit in though...right? That sheeple mentality has always confounded me. Why do people have it?

Perceptive comment @Right_in_Virginia. And so true, because all of the liberals have turned against him.
Having a popular Black icon go all out for Trump is absolutely terrifying the democrats. They haven't been this scared since Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh, throwing their precious liberal majority on the court out of balance.
If Kanye West causes even a fraction of the Black vote that they do nothing for, but totally count on, to start actually thinking about what is in their best interest, it will be a death knell for democrats. They have to have the votes from minority groups that they totally ignore after elections.
This has sent a real fear throughout their cores. They've sent every Black leader they can find out to say Kanye is a has-been or a never was; that he's stupid and talentless.... it is quite the sight.
I gotta say, I was amused to watch the Trump/Kanye act. Trump does have great aplomb; he did not flinch at anything. And, in spite of the incoherence, Kanye did throw some pearls of wisdom into the mix, talking about the importance of Black fathers, for example.
I see no point whatever in our joining them in Kanye bashing. Yes, he is volatile and yes, he may change his mind about things, but right now, he is a crazy blessing.

That's the way they roll, I guess. :shrug:
BTW...listening to Chris Plante on WMAL this morning....a caller said that she recognized immediately...to whom Kanye West was referring during his 'Stream of Consciousness' speech in the Oval Office.
It's Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero's Journey'.
An ordinary outsider...a 'common man' takes on a much greater task...not to enrich himself...not to save himself, but for much greater good.
It's the basis for Lord of the Rings...Star Wars.
And yet CNN called him an "illiterate house Negro" for his speech.

Thank you so much @DCPatriot I was beginning to feel like a lone voice crying in the wilderness.
How perceptive of you, or the caller, to recognize that obscure reference. Wow! That is so great.
The democrats are in full-blown panic over this and it is a great thing for us and yet everybody's making butt jokes.
Oh, well.

What the critics of West and Trump have yet to do is name all the supposed anti-Black actions Trump had taken.
They're huge with invective, but short on details.
What specific anti-Black words and actions has Trump taken?
Installing an economic program where the Blacks have more job opportunities than ever before? Yes, how horrible....more Blacks than ever have jobs.
Really, what are their specific grievances against Trump?

I'll go one better than that. She's pushing 40 right now. I would be stunned if West hangs around longer than another 4-5 years (they married in 2014). I don't care how much money she has.... you know what they say about ...."“Show me a beautiful woman, and I’ll show you a man who’s tired of #$%in her.""
Plus... he's bi-polar and no doubt a royal PITA already to her due to that alone, if nothing else. I predict they'll both go their separate ways some time over the next few years.

He's worth more than her. I just read in my accountants office a Forbes article. The three sisters combined are worth around $150 million as an entity. Kyle Jenner though is almost a billionaire with that make up line, but she isn't one of them.
