WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Kanye West met with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, after he was spotted arriving at Trump Tower in New York City, only days after the rapper first came back into the public eye following his hospitalization.

Trump spoke to reporters with West by his side, calling the rapper a "good man" and telling journalists that they have been "friends for a long time."

Anyone who has watched Apprentice knows that DJT does not judge people by anything but their competence and loyalty.

Hear, hear.

This is why the racist or sexist or homophobic labels thrown at Trump are insane. HE chose who to fire each week. Not the American people, like American Idol, or the other contestants, like Biggest Loser, where black contestants were often voted off quicker than white. Trump himself chose whom to let go. He often ended up with more minorities left than whites. More women left then men. Some gay people won seasons (some out and some not but come on, arsenio has to be gay).

I learned about how his mind works (well!) by watching that show. He is less prejudiced than most things on tv.

“I love the lobby photo op! Racist Trump hugs Kanye! DNC Media heads exploding! LMAO!”

Ditto. Intellectually, this should offend me. So why do I have a big smile on my face? LOL.

Good on him for going out on a limb to support Trump, but he’ll prove to be a problematic ally.

Sadly, there is no room in this administration for a gay fish.

The purpose is simple, Trump is reaching out to support a friend who is in a bad place right now. Simple humanity, most honest people can recognize it and it had so much to do with why Trump won the election -- Hillary ain't got it.

Kanye had his videographer right there getting on the elevator with him. So publicity on his part. But why is Trump hanging out with a rapper, especially one just out of a mental institution. I’m a huge Trump fan, but I sometimes wonder what the hell he is doing.

Trump just dropped down a notch in my eyes.

This is Obama behavior.

I wouldn’t trust Kanye not to go into psycho political rant during an inauguration performance.

Trump just went up a notch in my eyes. He’s going to be the president of ALL the people. And he doesn’t care who knows it.

Why? They are friends. Kanye supports him. What’s the problem?

“I told y’all I didn’t vote, right?” Kanye said. “But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.”

He speaks for many black people. They ‘voted’ for Trump by not voting for Hillary as they were ‘supposed’ to. That is the first step off the plantation.
