Trump calls Kanye West a ‘seriously troubled man’ who ‘is black’ after fallout from Mar-a-Lago trip

Former President Donald Trump called Ye, the hip hop artist formerly known as Kanye West, a “seriously troubled man” after he was turned down for a meeting with him at Mar-a-Lago.

“So I help a seriously troubled man, who’s only black, Ye (Kanye West), who’s been decimated in his business and pretty much everything else, and he’s always been good to me, allowing his sol… meeting request. at Mar-a-Lago, alone, so I can give him some much-needed ‘advice,'” Trump wrote in a message posted Saturday on his Truth Social account. “He shows up with 3 people, two of whom I didn’t know, the other a politician I haven’t seen in years. I told him not to run, total waste of time, I can’t. win. Fake news is they came back CRAZY!”

Several prominent Jewish leaders, including David Friedman, who served as Trump’s US ambassador to Israel from 2017 to 2021, have been critical of the former president for the meeting at his Palm Beach estate , Florida.

The dinner was also attended by white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

Friedman said that just as he had condemned former President Barack Obama for associating with anti-Semites Louis Farrakhan and Jeremiah Wright, Ye and Fuentes’ visit with Trump should be considered “unacceptable.”

Meanwhile, in the first video of the 2024 presidential campaign released by the rap artist on Thursday, Ye gave a “Mar-a-Lago briefing” from his Los Angeles headquarters, revealing that “I think the what Trump was most worried about was me. asking him to be my vice president.” Ye claimed that Trump was also “caught off guard” by the fact that he “went in smart.”

“So Trump is really impressed by Nick Fuentes,” Ye added. “And Nick Fuentes, unlike so many of the lawyers and so many of the people he stayed with in his 2020 campaign, is actually a loyalist.”

Ye said that “as someone who loves Trump” he asked the former president why he did not release more of the Jan. 6 protesters. But according to the rapper, Trump gave some excuse “would be mafia”.

“He goes into the story about everything that happened to get Alice Johnson out of jail, and that he didn’t do it for Kim, but he did it for me,” West said of his conversation with Trump. “But then he goes on to say that Kim [Kardashian] it is a [bleeped out profanity] and you can tell him I said so. And I was thinking like, this is the mother of my children.”
