Rapper Kanye West met with Donald Trump in the Oval Office Thursday and launched into an expletive laden rant wherein he referred to himself as a “motherfu****” and said his words were, “from the soul. I just channeled it,” and “male energy” issues led him to vote for Trump. NBC News:
Sporting a red "Make America Great Again" cap, West said Trump made him feel manly, and that's why he supported the Republican businessman over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016.
"You know they tried to scare me to not wear this hat. My own friends. But this hat, it gives me power in a way," he said, later comparing it to a "Superman cape."
West spoke of his family, noting that "my dad and my mom separated so I did not have a lot of male energy in my home and also I married into a family where, you know, there’s not a lot of male energy. It’s beautiful though."
If Trump is West’s role model for masculinity, may God help the poor son of a bitch. He went on to talk about the campaign.
#Black Twitter offered insight.
I hope for West’s sake that he finds somebody as a role model who is a real man, and not a puffed up insecure orange rooster, strutting and fretting his hour upon the stage of American history, to our everlasting shame.
