      Just in: President Trump hosted Kanye West in the Oval Office today. During the meeting, Kanye West said he loves Trump and gave the president a hug. Trump called West "a smart cookie."

      “Trump is on his hero’s journey right now. He might not have thought he’d have a crazy motherf***** like [me],” West said.

          During the meeting, Kanye West engaged in a soliloquy for nearly 10 minutes –– on his support for President Trump, violence in Chicago, mental illness and the 13th Amendment.

          It would be a massive mistake if Republicans thought they were appealing to African Americans by embracing Kanye. A massive mistake.

          Kanye has millions of fans. It would be foolish to think he isn't changing some minds out there

          Fans of his music. They are not fans of his "politics" because they know he's insane. They prefer Kap. Even if he did convert a few, it won't be enough to make a difference. Trust me. I'm in the community and they're not happy with Ye.

          Only in trumpistan do they think black people are stupid enough to support a racist.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/08/17/no-one-third-of-african-americans-dont-support-trump-not-even-close/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2570d8e98028 …

          Because apparently there are no real life qualified individuals to be the president or speak on behalf of prison reform we end up with a D list entertainer that happens to be the bankruptcy king of America and somebody named Kanye! Problem solved I reckon.

          Maybe, it's time for Kanye to give up the Hennesy slushie machine & eating Xanax like skittles... It's also time to boot this clown out of our office. He's getting crayon residue all over the resolute desk!

          Need to overcome shame to be a hero. That means admitting one's own faults.

          Hero's journey? Is Kanye calling himself a magic black guy or have I been spending too much time on TVTropes?
