Rapper Kanye West took to Twitter Tuesday afternoon to reveal what he discussed with President-elect Donald Trump during a meeting at Trump Tower Tuesday morning — and appeared to postpone his own planned presidential run to 2024. The outspoken rapper entered Trump Tower at around 9 a.m. to meet with the President-elect, after which the pair appeared together in front of reporters in the lobby.
In November, West paused a concert in San Jose to deliver a 40-minute speech in which he said that he had not voted in the presidential election, but if he had, he would have voted for Donald Trump.
At another concert a few days later, the rapper compared himself to Trump and rebuked former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton: “It’s a new world, Hillary Clinton, it’s a new world. Feelings matter. Because guess what? Everybody in middle America felt a way and they showed you how they felt. Feelings matter, bro.”
West first expressed an interest in running for president at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, while accepting the evening’s Video Vanguard Award, the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award.
The rapper expounded on his plans in an August interview with the BBC, when he said that Americans had become “numb” to the ongoing violence in Chicago.
“We’re numb to 500 kids getting killed in Chicago a year, we’re numb to the fact that it was seven police shootings in the beginning of July,” he said.

Aw damn. I was really looking forward to voting for Kanye. /sarc
I notice Pence was nowhere to be found.
LOL
Trump will be backing Pence in 2024. We can take that to the bank.
Guess he heard Donald Trump say something about not wanting to hear the same information everyday for 8 years yesterday.
I couldn’t stop laughing when he said it.
Kanye may be batshit crazy LOL, but he has balls of stone to endorse Trump in front of 20,000 crazy hip hop fans in San Jose... Kanye West Political Rant: ‘I Would Have Voted on Trump’ GMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uyHmHTj1k8
Pence / West 2024
Go on Kanye, self implode because an adult is back in charge and not your socialist brand who caters to the "gimmedats". BTW, have you stopped beating your wife?
Thanks Kanye. I was sweating that one.
He has at least one thing in common with Trump....the dislike of da Bushes.
And we thought Moo had a big butt just wait until the Kardashisluts get into the white hut.
“...appeared to postpone his own planned presidential run to 2024.”
That guy is delusional.
Uh, okay......
Agreed. Holy cow.. I’m floored. We are entering a new era.
LOL
I’m so campaigned out right now...
Doesn’t he understand, most people hate rap music. Perhaps 90 percent. And of the other 10 percent, they just tolerate it.
In the interest of national unity, the 2024 ticket will be Kanye West/Taylor Swift.
Dude just had a severe mental breakdown and is thinking about running for president?????
He must be a Democrat.
He should chill out, rest, and concentrate on getting his mental health settled and improved.
There exists a clip of Sam Kinison explaining rap “music”.
Thank goodness. With him in the race, I wouldn’t have known who to vote for.
Rush said today that Kanye is “the prophet for the low info voter”, and everyone should be cheering that Trump met with him. **shrug** Who knows, maybe in his own bizarre way, the idiot (Kanye, not Rush) will drop the black Dem vote below 90% in 2020...?
