      When you aren't being targeted directly by Donald Trump and his policies, having your family members deported or your loved ones put on a banned list, it's easy to say "IGNORE KANYE." But Kanye is normalizing a man that is specifically & quantifiably problematic. It matters.

      Several women who are survivors of sexual assault told me how much it hurt to hear & see Kanye say he loves Donald Trump and that he is one of his favorite people in the world, putting on his hat, and tweeting his autograph.

      Several Muslims and immigrants from countries now on Trump's banned list reached out to me yesterday and told me how much it stung to have a man as mainstream as @KanyeWest so boldly proclaim & celebrate the man who has caused them so much pain, anguish, and anxiety.

      I absolutely believe that we must stay focused on the greater fight for justice and equality and empowerment. We must. However, we must always forcefully call out ANYBODY who normalizes the bigotry and abuse of Donald Trump. It's not about political parties. It's bigger.

      I fundamentally reject the idea that Kanye West is mentally ill and that his support of Trump is a result of that. His family & close friends reject it as well. It's also not a result of his mother dying. I think this move toward Trump-ism is simply the real Kanye.

          what do you think of my theory, that it's all about publicity? I don't think Kanye cares one way or the other about Trump, but Kanye understands coming out in support of Trump will generate headlines.

          I get Shaun’s larger point but I thought the same thing. His behavior shows signs of mania, grandiose ideas, hostility, all signs of bi-polar or some other mood disorder. Not letting him off the hook but previously reported behavior & hospitalization could point to this.

          Reluctant to diagnose (married to psychologist here)but behavior, hospitalizations, weight fluctuations (anti-psychotic meds?) seem to indicate mood disorder. Either way it’s not helping him or his reputation.

          Kanye is completely out of touch with the realities of racism/classism in 2018 America. Bring back #OldKanye -- he was arrogant and annoying, but way less insufferable

          The end result of getting money and power in a capitalist, classist society. It protects its own at the end.

          As obama explained, kanye is a jackass. I encourage him to keep tweeting in case anyone is unclear on that.

          Spot on, @ShaunKing . Didn't he go to Trump tower before the election, in 2016, to have a publicity picture taken with Trump? I think he's always been a fan, just felt like now he could let loose.
