Keller @ Large: What Is The Takeaway From Trump’s Meeting With Kanye?

BOSTON (CBS) — “I love this guy right here, let me give this guy a hug,” said pop star Kanye West as he rounded the desk in the Oval Office and enveloped President Trump in an embrace.

The cameras love it, and this was the takeaway from their televised meeting that Trump lovers will love and Trump haters will hate. But there was more to this meeting than that.

The president’s adversaries could learn something from Kanye’s explanation of what drew him to candidate Trump during the campaign.

“I love Hillary, I love everyone right?” he said. “But the campaign ‘I’m with her’ just didn’t make me feel like a guy who didn’t get to see my dad all the time, like a guy who could play catch with his son. It was something about when I put this [“Make America Great Again”] hat on, it made me feel like Superman.”

That sense of empowerment remains on display at the president’s rallies, an antidote to political alienation on the right....

I saw part of it and being that Trump is tearing away the gates to the Democrat Plantation, it was awesome!

I always considered it rude for a man to wear a hat indoors,even a MAGA hat.

(Military exception)

There was a young-looking black woman sitting next to Kanye. Was that Candace Owens?

It was not Candace Owens. But I’m also curious who it was.

Well said, Pete. I'm as military as anyone, but you're correct in your thinking! (And I know where Shawnee Mission is located!)

You wouldn’t like my house then.
All the men here wear their hat indoors.
And if you sidestep mom, there’s h*ll
to pay. (meaning there’s lots of respect
here). Where a hat was once looked upon
as part of necessary outdoor work gear,
to be removed, like a pair of gloves,
before one came inside, they are today,
considered as part of one’s attire.
They make a statement. Like “MAGA”.

Kanye provides a high energy facet...Trump had to cause a short lull to be able to address Jim Brown. Wonder why Brown remained off-camera and had so little to say....at least when the cameras were around.
