A man has to have his priorities. What a fucking joke.
Kanye West’s meeting with Donald Trump: A long time coming
Perhaps you weren’t expecting this. That the spectacle of the Trump transition — potential Cabinet picks parading before television cameras in Trump Tower, itself once the set of a reality-TV show — would lead to the future commander in chief shaking hands and hugging Kanye West.
This is the rapper whose 2005 declaration that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” was, for Bush, “an all-time low” and the worst moment of his presidency. The one who President Obama called a “jackass.” Now, the embattled musician and fashion designer has re-emerged in the public eye to stand next to President-elect Donald Trump, who described the pair as “good friends. ”
“We’ve been friends for a long time,” Trump told reporters Tuesday. “We discussed life.”
It’s an apt image for this moment, as celebrity has fully melded with our politics in the most bizarre of ways.
