Kanye West, Pres. Trump trade compliments on Twitter
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington’s newest bromance: Yeezus and The Donald.
President Donald Trump tweeted his thanks Wednesday to rap superstar Kanye West for his recent online support.
Trump wrote, “Thank you Kanye, very cool!” in response to the tweets from West, who called the president “my brother.”
West tweeted a number of times Wednesday expressing his admiration for Trump, saying they share “dragon energy.”
You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. 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.— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018
The rap star also posted a photo of himself wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
But in one tweet he noted that his wife, reality star Kim Kardashian West, wanted him to make clear that he did not agree “with everything Trump does.”
