Donald Trump has discussed a number of controversial topics including Kanye West‘s behavior and Young Thug‘s ongoing RICO case in a new interview.
In an apparent attempt to broaden his voter base, the Republican presidential candidate appeared on Adin Ross’ Kick channel on Monday (August 5) and spoke with the popular streamer for over an hour.
After entering the stream to 50 Cent‘s “Many Men (Wish Death)”, Ross — wearing a suit and a Make American Great Again cap — questioned the Republican presidential candidate about a number of pop culture figures.
Asked for his opinion on on-again, off-again supporter Kanye West, Trump replied: “He’s very complicated. Let’s say complicated because he is. He’s a really nice guy, but he can get himself into trouble and he can get some other people [into trouble].
“But, you know, he’s got a good heart — he does, he does. But he’s complicated.”
Ross later brought up Young Thug’s turbulent YSL RICO trial, with Trump saying: “I hear Young Thug is being treated — I heard it from other people where they say he’s being treated very unfairly. So he’s gotta be treated fairly.”

It was recently revealeed that Donald Trump once had a plan to use Kanye to help unify America.
According to Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously served as the White House’s Director of Strategic Communications while Trump was president, the former Apprentice star allegedly wanted the controversial rapper to deliver a church service to the nation.
Speaking on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she said: “One day, he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country. I can think of a few things less unifying than that.”
“We were like, ‘Not the time or place, sir,’” Griffin added while laughing at the idea which of course has yet to materialize.
West and Trump have had an up and down relationship ever since the rapper first backed the Republican in 2016.
After later distancing himself from Trump over an alleged insult aimed at him and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye realigned himself with the former president earlier this year by endorsing him ahead of the 2024 election.
When asked by paparazzi if he plans to vote for Trump, he replied: “Yeah of course, it’s Trump all day. What you talking ’bout? You know what it is.”
West’s most notorious encounter with Trump occurred in 2021 when he took white supremacist Nick Fuentes to Florida to meet with the businessman turned politician.
I posted about this like a week ago. Trump is gonna pledge to pardon Young Thug and win big in Fulton county and other black communities across the country.
Imagine being as simple minded to think by pardoning a rapper that black people will suddenly trust you despite decades of evidence to prove that you’re a racist piece of shit.
@fuckouttahere oh, of course they will. Kamala has a legit history of purposely locking up black men over minor marijuana offenses, and laughing about it. I don’t think that Trump, as president did such things. Most anything anyone can say about Trump as far as racism I’d concerned is to dig up multiple decade old actions or words. By that same logic, Obama is homophobic, because in 2007 he was openly against gay marriage.
You’re so illiterate that you don’t know Presidents can’t pardon someone convicted of state crimes, which is what Fani Willis is trying him on, a state racketeering charge. Not to mention that I sure as hell won’t do it even if I could.
You speaking my name bitch? I let thousands of black men plead out for weed charges, way less than my immediate predecessor.
In my whole time as the attorney general, I locked up a total of 49 men for those charges because they coincided with some other way more shady shit they did, mostly sex or violent crimes.
Stop spreading lies about me and say it to my face hoe. Your stupid ass going around lying talking about I mass incarcerated black men for weed possession like a dummy in California of all places and have the nerve to believe that dumb shit. That’s something your orange daddy would do like he still calls for those acquitted kids to get the death penalty.
I think black dudes who vote for Trump, are letting us all know that black women move smarter. You out here bragging about a man who’s down with racial views. So you hate yourself? Get educated and stop sponsoring white supremacy. Are you black? Is Kamala a sister? Do you stand a better chance rolling with white supremacy? Wake up and stop lying. Because Black men are all down with Kamala, ask Denzel Washington. The N-word is down with Trump. There are more blacks than the N-word. There are more honest Caucasians than white trash. We have the numbers and your rapist buddy Trump doesn’t have the numbers.
@ignorance – you mean the district attorning was locking people up for things that at the time were against the law? WOW, that’s shocking! You don’t need to go back decades to see Trump acting / saying racist things… shit you don’t need to go back weeks of him being a racist. It just happens you can find examples of it in literally every decade he’s been in the public eye. Do you think he suddenly became less racist in his 70’s?

Unfair? This clown will say anything to pander to black people. If he wasn’t running for president, he’d be the first saying he deserves to rot 🤣
People seem to forget he was one of the leading voices behind the Obama birther conspiracy. Guess it was being unfair to suggest the country’s first black president wasn’t legally a U.S. citizen.
I hate young thug, but anyone who is being honest cannot say it’s been an honest case on the prosecutions side. Hell, the one judge had to end up refusing himself because he was proven be acting dirty. Don’t tell me for one second that the ones going after him aren’t corrupt, even if he is fully guilty.
@r.pgh one of the “leading voices” is the same terminology as “top experts” lol. Clinton pushed it too, and she was running for President. I’d say the leading voice IMO was Obamas half brother who is Kenyan.
Let me guess. He said it’s a very bad thing. Very tough. No, what’s going to be tough is when I beat your ass in three months.
somebody’s rich black son decided they wanted to be a rapper and ended getting dragged into a murder case. that’s why young thug is never getting out of prison face it. next time don’t make no talent street gang slime into USA rock stars for losers to emulate
