      Like it or not, Kanye is perfectly rational: his critics are the ones who seem derangedhttps://spectator.us/2018/10/kanye-west-donald-trump/ …

      Kanye has always had a manic, performative style that people understood (and celebrated) as artistic expression. Put that same style in a "pro-Trump" political context and suddenly it's mental illness. The reactions to this have been so lazy and pernicious

          He then said he was misdiagnosed and had sleep deprivation. Either way, having bipolar disorder wouldn't warrant automatically discounting his political opinions.

          They are doing the same thing to Trump, never a whisper of instability or psychosis until he became President, it’s getting old and quite frankly I’ve completely tuned out to the media noise. It’s gross.

          You’re right about the fact that Kanye has never been criticized before for the style or content of his expression. Great journalism; very trenchant

          Did you actually look at k's transcript? It's quoted here, with context: https://people.com/music/kanye-west-tells-donald-trump-misdiagnosed-bipolar-disorder-sleep-deprived/ … He talked about his bipolar diagnosis on his album, retracted it at length, talked about dementia in his Oval Office rant. This is "performative?" Dude, you are the one not listening.

          My partner of 11 yrs lives w bipolar, it's no joke. But he wouldn't (properly medicated, or even sleep deprived) walk into the Oval Office and spew all that and he's a professional entertainer. A lot of bp2 folks are, lol.

          It was just an eccentric excited celeb visiting the president. He's not exactly known for his political prowess. Peeps need to calm down.

          Watching the left flip on Kanye is just as amusing as watching Sean Hannity gush over him.

          I've never been a fan of Kanye, still not, but I think it's hilarious how ppl think he's now changed to have a mental illness. 🙄 He. has. always. been. like. this. Peeps just thought he was on "their" side. #TooBadSoSad If he's mentally ill, then he's ALWAYS been mentally ill.

          This is how I know you're talking out of your ass. You dont follow or fuck with kanye to making any type of fucking comments. We knew kanye was slipping ever since he married a Kardashian. We were confirmed when he went off on Tyler swift
