Hip-hop mogul Kanye West announced Thursday night at a concert in California that he did not vote in last week’s presidential election, but if he had, he would have voted for Donald Trump.

“I told y’all I didn’t vote, right?” Kanye said, standing on the floating stage he uses on his Saint Pablo tour. “But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.”

Perhaps predictably, the attendees at West’s San Jose, California, show reacted mostly negatively to the rapper’s pronouncement, with some throwing items at the stage. West continued though into an extended monologue, which was reported by the music website Pitchfork and others, focused on the election, political discourse and Trump’s communication style, which West said he was impressed by.

I didn’t play Lotto yesterday. But if I would have, I’m sure I would have won.

“Voted for Trump”?

Another article posted nearby shows the quote as “I would have voted on Trump.”

Which is wonderful ebonics. It reminds me of the woman who wanted “to keep Obama in president.”

And if Kanye ran for president the leftists would’ve considered him fit to be president.

If I cared enough to know who Mr West was, I might care.
Since he didn’t care enough to vote, I won’t bother to find out.

I’m telling ya, many blacks ‘voted’ for Trump simply by not voting for Hillary as they were ‘supposed’ to.

“I’m telling ya, many blacks ‘voted” for Trump simply by not voting for Hillary as they were ‘suposed’ to.”

And that includes the idiot Bush family who left the Presidential spot vacant on their ballots. Yay. A vote for Trump!

And some idiots (the Bush family) voted for Trump by leaving the Presidential vote portion of their ballots blank. Thank you, idiot Bush family.

Thank you to the Bush family for leaving their Presidential portion of their ballot blank...more votes for Trump.

P.S. I’m having trouble with my computer...this may show up 3 different times, or hopefully at least once. Sorry about that.

But since you didn't vote, you may as well "would've" voted for Hillary or Pennywise the Clown, for all the difference it made.

Who told this low-information celebutard that his opinion mattered?
