Trump confirms he had dinner with Ye, white na­tion­alist Nick Fuentes

Former President Donald Trump confirmed Friday he met this week with Ye — the rapper formerly known as Kanye West — and far-right activist Nick Fuentes, whom the Justice Department has called a “white supremacist.”

Trump said in a post on Truth Social that he was not expecting Fuentes to attend the dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort and claimed he didn’t know anything about Fuentes, who led “Stop the Steal” rallies after the 2020 presidential election in support of Trump’s false claims about widespread fraud.

“This past week, Kanye West called me to have dinner at Mar-a-Lago,” said Trump, who is running for president again in 2024. “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.”

Trump’s acknowledgement of the dinner followed reports from The Daily Beast and the entertainment website Consequence as well as a social media video posted by Ye describing the dinner.

In the video, Ye said he asked Trump to be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, which Trump was “perturbed about,” according to the rapper.

Ye claimed Trump “started basically screaming at me at the table telling me I was going to lose.”

“I mean, has that ever worked for anyone in history?” Ye said. “I'm like, ‘Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on, Trump. You're talking to Ye.’”

The rapper also implied that Trump made a derogatory about Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and that the former president “is really impressed with Nick Fuentes.”

Oh, grow up. People can associate with whom they please. I mean, c’mon, loud mouths like you are allowed to associate with others on this page. Quit shilling for the commie trash in charge and spewing hatred and division everywhere.

There is none more anti- marxist then me, and Holocaust deniers and antisemites have NO place in the movement.

There’s a different spin available here (not that Trump equals Jesus, so don’t go there because I don’t)

Matthew 9: 10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.

11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Something like half of all the money the DNC gets comes from Jewish donations. I don’t think there is much Trump or any republican can do that will change their minds. They are basically like blacks that no matter what happens the majority will always vote Blue.

[escapefromboston]

Yes but now he’s super duper racist.

[Songcraft]

"Trump confirms he had dinner with Ye..."

So, Obama met with Yo-Yo!

    

But, more seriously, in agreement with your comments, "Jesus dined with whom? He was painted as wrong just for association. No man should fear association with others. No man need embrace another man’s wrongs in so doing."

While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him.   When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"   On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."   Mark 2:15-17 (NIV)

Here's Trump eating with another bad guy, and Trump was able to curtail a lot of hostile activities in that guy's nation, which have, unfortunately, recommenced here in Biden's tenure.

More, and more Jews are becoming Messianic and Orthodox. The hard core secular Jews are Aborting themselves, or having few or no children.

Fuentes, now that is a White Supremacist name if I ever heard of one. I am more worried about Liberal Woke Supremacists running this world.

[escapefromboston]

I haven’t heard that but if its true thats good news. We need a lot less liberals/secularists

[nascarnation]

Trump was an intimidating presence.

Guys like the Norks were thinking this guy might just be impulsive enough to blow us off the map.

Like Reagan’s famous “the bombing starts in five minutes” quip.

Ten years ago, a number of people on this forum denounced Ron Paul for shaking the hand of some white nationalist. It was likely that Paul knew nothing about that person. However, Trump or his staff would know about West's statements and a quick web search would have indicated Fuentes' ideology.

Are Trump and his staff stupid? It is possible that the former President is alienated from the mainstream Jewish establishment. Despite Trump being the most pro-Israel President since Lyndon Johnson, it must be noted that Netanyahu immediately congratulated Biden upon the latter winning the Electoral College. Even Macron and Merkel were not so quick as Netanyahu. Remember that his son-in-law and daughter, who are Jewish, have declined to participate in his 2024 election campaign.

It is possible that the hostility of not only the Deep State, but Conservatism, Inc., has moved Trump to the alt-right. You must wonder if Trump is well advised.

Nothing like getting a white nationalist together with a black guy. Only Trump could do this.

[Organic Panic]

Dinner with a murderer of Americans (Bill Ayers and Al Sharpton), open racists like Kendi X or whatever his stupid name is, incestual Muslim black supremacists Anti-Semetic America haters, NO PROBLEM.

White advocate. OH MY GAIA!!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You clearly don’t pay attention to the guy.

Oh, I've paid attention. It's just that I'm smart enough to recognize blunt truth from false narratives.

He advocates for racial segregation: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1196604600872251393

So does La Raza, BLM, ADL/AIPAC, and Muslim Brotherhood.

He’s admitted to being a white nationalist: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1196606890970681344

Probably because he sees European nations and US/Canada getting destroyed by open borders and mass migration? What other race is enabling this?

Holocaust denier: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1196604727276064768

37 million Ukrainians starved to death by Bolsheviks during the Holodomor and no one batted an eye

Trump doesn’t need to be within miles of this guy.

Trump didn't invite him, he was a guest of Kanye.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You know what we call that, don’t you?

[Mark17]

and far-right activist Nick Fuentes, whom the Justice Department has called a “white supremacist.”

The DOJ always tells the truth, right? /S

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Why is this guy a white supremest

Fuentes is not a white supremacist. He correctly points out that Western Civilization is being destroyed by open borders policies pushed by globalists. It's only "white supremacist" through the prism of Al Sharpton.

[GulliverSwift]

Trump is being advised very poorly. And of course, the racist dregs of this forum have shown up like flies to defend Fuentes, a guy who calls for dictatorship and praises Hitler and segregation.

[hardspunned]

The establishment pubbie talking heads will be braying about Trump not being electable because of this “racism”, you know the crap they tried in ‘16 with David Duke and then with “Charlottesville”?
