Does Trump still call him 'My Nigger Ye'?

Do they hate all Jews or only Leftist Jews? Hitler would care.

Donald Trump and Kanye West's 'Friendship': A History

Donald Trump and Kanye West have more things in common than you might
expect. They both enjoy using Twitter. They’re both a part of world-
famous families. They’ve both explored the idea of running for president.
And apparently, out of these similarities has sprung a friendship.

After West’s visit to Trump Tower today, Trump told reporters that the
two have “been friends for a long time.” West, on the other hand, “just
wanted to take a picture.”

But how long have the two been friends? And really, have they been
friends at all?

Trump talked about West at a September 2015 rally and press conference.
The comments were prompted by West’s own announcement that he would be
running for president in 2020 — or at least, that’s what he implied.

Though Trump seemed far from clinching the White House back then, he
revealed himself to be a big fan of Yeezy—and claimed that the feeling
was mutual.

“You know what, I’ll never say bad about him. You know why? Because he
loves Trump!” the President-elect said at the time. “He goes around
saying, ‘Trump is my all time hero.’ He says it to everybody. So Kanye
West, I love him.”

Even so, Trump admitted if he had to battle him for the presidency, his
warm feelings may change.

“Maybe in a few years I’ll have to run against him, I don’t know, so I’ll
take that back,” he said. “But he’s been so nice to me. I would never say
bad about him because he says such nice things about me.”

Trump’s claims that he wouldn’t say anything bad about West weren’t
always true. After the rapper infamously stole the mic from Taylor Swift
at the 2009 VMAs, Trump said that West’s actions were “disgusting” — and
even called for a Kanye West boycott as punishment, so “this kind of
thing doesn’t happen again.”

“He couldn’t care less about Beyoncé,” he said. “It was grandstanding to
get attention.”

Four years later, Trump spoke out again — not about West, but about his
equally famous wife, Kim Kardashian West. During an appearance on The
Howard Stern Show, Trump and Stern debated the, err, merits of her
assets.

“Does she have a fat ass? Absolutely,” Trump said. “And if it weren’t
Kim, they’d say, ‘Wow, I don’t want to go out with her.'”

But after the election, at a concert in San Jose, West admitted that he
was Trump supporter, saying he admired Trump’s performance during the
debates. “I loved the debates, I loved his approach.” Despite these
words, West’s feelings of support were not intense enough to get him to actually go physically vote for him.

West also had some lofty ideas for Trump’s cabinet, saying that he
thought Hillary and Bill Clinton—as well as President Obama—should serve
as “consultants” in a Trump administration. Perhaps the musician is
making a greater effort to work across the aisle than the majority of Washington.

This bipartisanship seems to have played a role in his visit to Trump
Towers on December 13. “I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change,” he
wrote of the meeting on Twitter.

Trump says they talked about “life,” while West tweeted that the pair
discussed “multicultural issues” including “bullying, supporting
teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago.”

Does this meeting also signal a potential inauguration performance or
even a cabinet role? Only time will tell…
