Kanye West met President Donald Trump inside the White House for a meeting to discuss a wide range of topics regarding the state of America. During the meeting, which was broadcasted live on TV this afternoon, Kanye praised Trump for his views about racism and liberals who throw out the term loosely.

“A liberal will try to control a Black person through the concept of racism because they know that we’re a very proud, emotional people,” Kanye says during one part of the meeting. “So when I said I’m like Trump to someone that’s liberal they’ll say, ‘Oh, he’s racist.’ You think racism can control me? Oh, that don’t stop me, that’s an invisible wall.”

West, who sat alongside legendary football player and activist Jim Brown and Jared Kushner, spoke to reporters for nearly 10 minutes in the Oval Office wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat. He stated that wearing the MAGA hat “gives him power.”

“It was something about when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman,” West said. “You made a superman cape for me, also, as someone who looks up to you … looks up to American industry guys.”

‘Ye, later on, discussed Hilary Clinton, who he donated $2,700 USD to during the 2016 presidential campaign. Kanye said he loved Hillary Clinton but felt alienated “as a guy” by her slogan “I’m With Her” because he didn’t have a lot of “male energy” in his household as a child. One thing is for sure is Kanye needs a new phone password.
