Kanye West wants everyone to know he’s still team Trump
Kanye West’s bromance with President Trump appears alive and well as 2019 dawns — with the wacky rapper giving his pal a shout-out on Twitter, praising his MAGA hat and dropping hints that he could run for the White House in 2024.
“Trump all day” West tweeted at about 3:30 p.m. on New Year’s Day, a comment that got a decidedly mixed reaction from his followers.
“I have to assume this is a reference to a kid named Trump on the youth football team I coach. It’s his first name. He’s okay, but cries when I scream profanities at him, so he’s got a ways to go,” wrote Three Year Letterman.
But the rapper — whose F-bomb filled, cringe-worthy October visit to the White House appeared to leave even the president at a loss for words — was undeterred.
“Just so in 2019 you know where I stand,” he tweeted before apparently accusing Democrats of controlling black people.
“They will not program me. Blacks are 90% Democrats That sounds like control to me,” wrote West, Kim Kardashian’s other half.
While many fans supported West’s cryptic posts, others weren’t so sure.
“He’s so annoying lately omg,” tweeted a woman named rafael.
“WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS KANYE,” added sadboi.
But West took it all in stride.
“Love everyone,” he said in another tweet, adding minutes later that God was on his side.
“We will change the world. God is on my side. I am a Christian. I am a tax payer. I am myself. God is with us,” he wrote, followed up by another post: “Free thought.”
He then dropped the hint about the White House, tweeting only: “2024,” firing up some of his fans.
“President Kanye West and First Lady Kim Kardashian West RUN THAT S–T!!!” tweeted someone calling themselves NaeomiCampbell.
But not everyone was buying it, with one poster saying West needs psychiatric help.
“He’ll be committed by then .. you know ..51/50 Ward B s–t..it’s all in motion ..manic episode after manic episode..no one helping him..everyone a yes person….hospitalization will be coming,” declared CaliRams909.
But the rapper continued — praising Trump and defending wearing his MAGA hat, which he wore to the White House.
“One of my favorite of many things that the trump hat represents to me is that people can’t tell me who I should do because I’m black. That’s real racism,” he said in a tweet that was later deleted and reposted without the last sentence.“From now on I’m performing with my mutherf–king hat on.”
