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.”

I have to wonder if Kanye West has been put up to this by DeSantis stooge Candace Owens. Trump's love of celebrity is one of his biggest weaknesses, one that Kanye exploited.
sure sounds like a set up
By the way, Fuentes isn't a white supremacist. He's one of the few whites who aren't afraid to call a spade a spade, meaning that open borders and endless migration into white majority countries are recipes for suicide.
DeSantis quietly smiles.
Ye’s nuts.
He’s an Antisemtic jackass. Holocaust Deniers are not welcome in the America First movement.
Yeah. Kanye may be a little odd, but he’s not stupid. He wants to be president (which isn’t going to happen) and part of his path is to remove Trump as an obstacle. An embarrassing dinner with a white supremacist hurts Trump, helps Kanye. I certainly hope Trump doesn’t allow any sort of repeat. Stay away from Kanye.
Kayne West is an idiot.
“...Trump’s false claims about widespread fraud.”
NOT Fake News. We ALL know it!
Is “derogatory” a noun? The article states Trump made one.
Why is this guy a white supremest. Did he not kneel at a ballgame? Leading Stop the Steal is as much as anyone did to try to save the Constitution. This is the leftist media crap the Uniparty (R) DC hacks are going to run with?
This is nothing, the problem is patriots do not run the majority of the media today so needless to say the domestic enemies will inflate this as much and as long as possible which does not change my mind any which way - I am quite aware our country is under enemy occupation - but for the low infos it will only make them side with the enemy even more. Trump effed up here.
You clearly don’t pay attention to the guy. He advocates for racial segregation: https://twitter.com/bennyjohnson/status/1196604600872251393
He’s admitted to being a white nationalist:

Trump doesn’t need to be within miles of this guy.
Tampa Bay Slimes.
It’s a rag.
Trump / Lake 2024.
I don’t care if he shot the Pope. He’s still a better option than anyone the Democrats will put up.
Who Trump has dinner with at Mar-A-Lago is so much more serious than the FBI raid at Mar-A-Lago.
It’s based on Trump’s own statement on Truth Social. And it is from a TV station in Tampa Bay, not the newspaper.
Don’t lie to yourself about things that are uncomfortable. That’s what libs do.
So true. He was a good president because he has a mind for business and money and he believes in America First. But, he has some major weaknesses, too.
If they had written “Trump’s claims about widespread fraud”, that’s journalism. By adding the word “false”, they abandon journalism for propaganda. The worst thing about stuff like this is that these writers don’t even realize that it is propaganda.
Despite being rightwing in most of his positions, Fuentes likes rap music.
