Donald Trump is pleased to have Kanye West in his corner. After Yeezy reaffirmed his support for the 45th President of the United States on Wednesday (April 25), Trump thanked him on Twitter.
“Thank you Kanye, very cool!” the commander-in-chief tweeted.
The thank you message retweeted a post from West’s latest Twitter spree in which the capricious artist stated his support for Trump amid widespread criticism.
“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” West wrote. “We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.”
West is one of the few rappers to speak positively about Trump since the polarizing businessman got into politics, and he’s easily the most prominent voice to do so.
Hip Hop has largely been antagonistic toward Trump, whichs public spats with JAY-Z and Snoop Dogg as well as Eminem’s internet-breaking freestyle.
West seems to be enjoying his controversial support, posting pictures of a signed “Make America Great Again” hat and the Trump tweet.

I’m pretty sure that all the liberals and progressives who dominate journalism are going to write a bunch of BAD REVIEWS for his upcoming projects. Don’t think that THE POWERS THAT BE aren’t PLOTTING on how to END HIS CAREER before his millions of followers have their EYES OPENED to what he’s trying to tell them about THINKING FOR THEMSELVES instead of having to think a certain way because you’re a certain race. Hiphopdx will be one of the PUPPETS used to turn people against Kanye. The GRAMMY BOARD (liberals) are probably going to SNUB EVERY RECORD he’s involved in. They will try to pressure Kim to LEAVE HIM, in hopes that ALIMONY and CHILD CUSTODY battles will DESTROY HIM from within. You’ve been warned.
I understand where you’re coming from. But I totally don’t agree with Trump on any of his agendas. So its cool if Kanye is down with Trump. I just don’t have much more respect for Kanye or his music for his new-found ideals and beliefs. So salute and best of luck to him, but hey, this is only one fan he’s lost.
I’m only in it for the music. Fuck all that other shit. As long as he’s not worshipping Satan on these tracks, I’m straight.
Trump is Satan, so…
He’s Orange, not Red.
Get back in your white jacket Larry!!! Do we need to tranquilize you again?
@Kennyken It sounds like you’re saying that you can’t enjoy a musician if he doesn’t think the same way that you do when it comes to politics. Try to be more open minded.
Liberals are so blinded…..it’s amazing how they even live within themselves…..I know you don’t understand and that is understandable because you have been brainwashed your whole life most likely or even recently you do not understand logic anymore..I feel sorry for you all and at the same time mad at you all that support liberals……you are killing yourself s and don’t even realize it that is the sad part.
Low IQ liberals have no rebuttal so they claim you’re “mentally ill” if you don’t buy into their deranged worldview lol..
Trump, why haven’t you responded to all my diss tracks towards you yet? I’m the Rap God, don’t make me drop this awfully hot coffee pot on your head.
Your allowed to think or like whoever u want in the comfort of ur brain. Only problem is trump is not a good look, and supporting him is also not a good look but I guess Kanye needs that republican money lol
2005 Kanye West: Bush does not care about black people!
2018 Kanye West: I support one of the most racist administrations that America has ever seen! Look at my hat yall!
I gave him a pass on wearing the confederate flag cause it was an attention grab and a flag doesn’t hurt people. But the Trump administration is a direct attack on minorities, the poor, women, and the list goes on. I get the counter culture gimmick but this goes beyond that. The Kanye stans and “free thinkers” will be drinking up all of the Cult #45 kool-aid smh….
I really wanted to listen to that new Nas album too…oh well.
How is Trump Racist. Elaborate please
You actually had to ask that
And you still havent answered it. Waiting……
There are various clips on Youtube of someone interviewing people at anti-Trump rallies and they get asked the same question… They can’t form a valid response either.
Huh this is interesting. I want to know what Kanye specifically agrees with when it comes to Trumps policys. If this is just for publicity than Kanye really is stupid. Maybe he’s going this way because the republicans serve his ax bracket. Personality wise Kanye and Trump are similar. If Kanye is supporting Trump for other reasons not talked about in the mainsstream media than I understand his choice. Personally I voted for Trump even though i don’t agree with all the things he’s doing and I would vote for him agin in 2020.
Kanye is an entertainer. He is rallying up attention for his upcoming projects. That’s all.
1. If his political opinion can influence your political opinion, you are retarded.
2. If hes political opinion influences your opinion of he’s music, well that’s fair.
3. All opinions are like assholes , celebrity opinions however are like a prostitutes asshole. For Sale
Yeah because his fanbase isnt easy to manipulate. They would never buy overpriced ugly shoes or oversized, overprized ugly Clothes with holes in it because it has his name on. Yeah Kanye Fans are known for their Strong Mind. They not as delusional as he is I mean they calling him a genius. If you not think they gonna follow him like brainwashed zombie sheeple like they do all the time then you are the retarded one.
Lmfao, exactly. As if most of these Hollywood fans have their own strong minds lmao.
So you actually have a problem with a celebrities political opinion because you fear it will turn the country in to Trump lovers. my man you are fucken RETARDED
Real recognise real! TRUMP THE FIRST HIP HOP PRESIDENT! 2PAC AND BIGGIE WOULD VOTE TRUMP!
TRUMP IS MORE BLACK THAN OBAMA!!
The country is thriving economically under Trump. I can’t think of one positive thing Obama accomplished during his 2 terms.
So you must not be thinking much. I have an MS in Economics from Boston University and I will tell you the stock market being high does not equate to a thriving economy, and in fact GDP has been declining for years in the US. If you want one thing Obama did right, he signed the clean power plan and was transitioning our economy to a near zero-marginal cost energy sharing sector. But since you clearly aren’t very bright, I expect you to be googling 90% of what I just said. 😉
I wenr to college I know big word
I’ve been a fan of Kanye from the beginning, but I can’t support this fuckery any longer lol. This shit is gonna blow up in his face. Trump is a proven racist, I guess Kanye really is stuck in the sunken place.
Damn, you’re sad. His music isn’t political at all, and you’re gonna stop listening to it because he likes our president? Bruh, you’re a bitch.
I’m far from a fan of his current musical output but credit to Kanye for not toeing the fkn line like so many others to be PC and say what he thinks. He can’t have this opinion because he is black… People are forgetting what racism actually is.
Candace Owens a real one.
I love how liberals are all for freedom unless you dont agree with them or dont believe everything they believe.
Ain’t nobody trying to stop him. But “Liberals” have the right not to f**k with him.
