Musician Kanye West told reporters at the White House on Thursday that a "welfare mentality" led him to accuse former President George W. Bush of racism after Hurricane Katrina.

"I was very emotional, and I was programmed to think from a victimized mentality. Of a welfare mentality," West said, sitting across from President Trump in the Oval Office.

West, wearing a Trump campaign hat, said the concept of racism was used by Democrats to control voters.

heads are exploding all over the country right now.

Actually, the media is calling Kanye's "bizarre rant" "unhinged," "rambling," "indecipherable," and "leaving Trump in stunned silence."

holy cow - even Kanye is disgusted with himself with regards to that remark. Look at the explanation - a welfare mentality - wow. Way to go Mr. West

I would have never, ever thought I would hear this coming from him!

Does this mean Kim is a Trump fan, too?

I always thought they were big liberals but I could be wrong.

This will more than offset the Taylor Swift rat endorsement.

I think the esteemed Mr. West can reach out to the urban youth and show them an alternative to the rat plantation way.

Can anyone believe Kanye is MAGA & Taylor Swift is a Democrat?

"I was very emotional, and I was programmed to think from a victimized mentality. Of a welfare mentality,"

He didn't just take the red pill, he slammed down the whole bottle!

Holy smokes, I thought he might have just been flirting with this stuff to get some headlines, but looks like he is actually getting his head straight.

It’s nice to see Trump supporting mental illness.

I watched the whole thing waiting for the moment, the moment when he blurted out the MF word. He did not disappoint.

He did warn the assembled Media to use the five second delay before that happened though.

Surprisingly, he didn’t use the N word.

Personal observation. Although Kanye went on some interesting rants, people should understand that he is a pretty intelligent guy. It was apparent to me watching him and I have never really listened to the guy before.

I don’t see how he and Kim will stay together if he’s come over to our side.

Sounded more like he was having a cold turkey withdrawal from Liberal Mental Illness.
