President Trump confirmed to Axios reporter Jonathan Swan on Friday that he had dinner this week with old friend Kanye West and anti-Semite groyper leader Nick Fuentes, telling Swan that he did not know of Fuentes and that West had brought him to Mar-a-Lago uninvited.
West, who also calls himself Ye, has been in hot water over several anti-Semitic remarks he recently made. Fuentes is a notorious anti-Semite and Holocaust denier.
Swan reported on Twitter, “NEW: Statement from fmr President Trump in response to our story about his dinner w Ye and Fuentes: “Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about.””

UPDATE: Trump post on Truth Social, “This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Shortly thereafter, he unexpectedly showed up with three of his friends, whom I knew nothing about. We had dinner on Tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. The dinner was quick and uneventful. They then left for the airport.”
The third guest, according to Timcast, was former Trump campaign staffer Karen Giorno.
The story of Fuentes visiting Mar-a-Lago with West Tuesday night was first reported by Politico on Wednesday,”According to a source, far-right extremist Nick Fuentes was spotted with Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago. West tweeted last night he met with Trump at the club. West and Fuentes were also seen together at Miami airport.”

A source initially denied to the Daily Beast that Trump dined with Fuentes, “A source familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast that while West had dinner with Trump, Fuentes was not present.”
Late on Tuesday night, West tweeted: “First time at Mar-a-Lago Rain and traffic. Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting.” “And I had on jeans. Yikes,” he added. https://t.co/HR3VteZvlj

The video features Ye advisor Milo Yiannopoulos who was filmed in 2016 singing America the Beautiful while white supremacist audience members gave the Nazi salute.
West earlier claimed in his visit he asked Trump to be his vice presidential running mate for the 2024 campaign (Trump announced his own bid for the presidency last week), “First time at Mar-a-Lago Rain and traffic Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting And I had on jeans Yikes What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?”

Ye bringing jeans to the meeting with Trump turned out to be the least objectionable he brought.
UPDATE: Timcast reports West used the dinner as a “power move” against Trump for his own 2024 presidential campaign (excerpt):
According to a source familiar with the events at the dinner, who asked to remain anonymous, Ye had arrived at Mar-a-Lago with (Karen) Giorno, who served as Trump’s Florida chief strategist in 2016 and later a senior advisor for his campaign, as a power move to show that he is serious about his White House bid.
Giorno has worked for multiple presidents and is regarded as highly formidable at running campaigns.
…“Nick attended the dinner and sat across from the president. I sat to the president’s right and Ye to his left,” Giorno said. “The president was by himself for dinner but invited Ye to meet some people on the patio.”
Spain is a White European nation. A good number of “Hispanics” are White.
Something a certain sect of freaks call themselves. They think Jews run the world and are Putinists.
that wasn’t a ‘power move’ it was outright low-class trolling sabotage.
Kayne alias Ye, didn’t tell Trump in advance that he would be bringing guests. He then fabricated a ‘debrief’ dialogue including accusing Trump of calling Kardashian names.
From Axios:
“What they’re saying: “Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about,” Trump said in a statement.”
and
“”To be honest, I don’t believe the president knew who the hell [Fuentes] was,” the source added.”

and
Ye declared war by asking Trump to be his VP while bringing Fuentes to Mara Lago = has Kanye lost his mind?

Truth is that the majority of people black and white do not care if Trump had dinner with Kanye West.
The truth is also that almost everyone doesn’t even know or care who Fuentes is.
This is a non story only used to hurt Trump aimed the perpetually offended who know those people because they are perpetually offended.
Trump has never been afraid to talk to people as we well know.
How about you being a monumental dope who is shilling for someone who isn’t even running? Might as well jump up and down for Joey like the big ole troll you are.
I’m not shilling for anybody. I’m just pointing out that Trump is a dope. The guy hired Omarosa for crying out loud. Clearly, he’s not a good judge of character.
Is it a 4Chan thing?
One thing he said was; I am going death com 3 on the Jewish people. But as far as I know, he never stated why.
The “White Supremacist” is a Systemic White Democrat phenomenon having nothing to do with Spain.
Trump is racist because he met with a Black guy and a Hispanic
Slow news week find something anything for a page filler no matter how useless.
Yes indeed, though “Groypers” is more popular with those who are Fuentes viewers.
For someone who was supposedly a genius on hiring and firing, he sure didn’t know how to get the right people into the right position. A CEO is only as good as their team, and the turmoil that might work in a real estate development empire never worked well in the administration.
You’re only as good as the weakest link, and you don’t get a second chance.
