LOL Kanye West Meets With Trump, Asks Him To Be His Running Mate in 2024 https://www.ibtimes.com/kanye-west-meets-trump-asks-him-his-running-mate-2024-3639744 The rapper tweeted that he was late to his meeting with Trump due to 'rain and traffic' Ye asked his followers to guess whether Trump said 'Ye' or 'Nay' to be his running mate in 2024 Ye was spotted with white nationalist Nicholas Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago prior to his meeting with Trump Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, on Tuesday revealed that he has asked former President Donald Trump to be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election. In a tweet, Ye said he met the former president at his Mar-a-Lago golf club in Florida, adding that he was late to their meeting due to "rain and traffic." "First time at Mar-a-Lago. Rain and traffic. Can't believe I kept President Trump waiting. And I had on jeans. Yikes," Ye wrote on Twitter. He later asked his followers to guess what Trump said to his proposal. The options included "That's very Ye," referring to the new name he goes by, or "That's very Nay." Hours prior to his meeting with Trump, Ye was spotted with white nationalist and Unite the Right attendee Nicholas Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago, as per POLITICO. Fuentes, however, was not present during Ye's dinner meeting with Trump, sources with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast. In early November, Trump praised Ye for his sit-down interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson where the rapper revealed that he struggled to keep his admiration for Trump hidden from his peers in the entertainment industry. "It drove me crazy to not be able to say that I like Trump," Ye said in the interview. "Well I never actually told people that I like Trump when he was running because I was bullied by Hollywood." Trump, however, failed to condemn Ye for his antisemitic outbursts online. The rapper was previously banned from Twitter after he published a tweet saying he was "going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE." Ye was also banned on Instagram for posting what appeared to be a message he sent to Sean "Diddy" Combs saying, "Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me."
Trump is 'really impressed' with white supremacist leader Nick Fuentes: Kanye West Kanye West offered a debrief after trekking to Mar-a-Lago with prominent white nationalist Nick Fuentes. The rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, said he asked Trump to be vice president of his ticket. "It was the fact that I walked in with intelligence," he said in a video posted on his newly restored Twitter account. "Trump is really impressed with Nick Fuentes." The Anti-Defamation League says, "Nicholas Fuentes is a white supremacist leader and organizer and podcaster who seeks to forge a white nationalist alternative to the mainstream GOP. Nicholas Fuentes first gained widespread notoriety in 2017 when he left Boston University after he reported receiving 'threats' tied to his attendance at the white supremacist 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville, Virginia." An outspoken admirer of fascists such as Mussolini, Fuentes emerged as an influential figure on the national stage during the now-infamous “Stop the Steal” movement, which relied on misinformation to falsely claim that Donald Trump had won the 2020 election and sought to overturn the results of it." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trump says he had no idea his dinner guest was a notorious Holocaust denier Former President Donald Trump hosted notorious Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes for dinner this week -- but now he's issued a statement saying he had no idea who Fuentes was before sharing a meal with him. In a statement posted by Axios' Jonathan Swan, Trump emphasized that Fuentes was a guest of rapper Kanye West and not someone whom he'd personally invited to his resort. "Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago," Trump said. "Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about." Trump notably did not condemn Fuentes' views about the Holocaust or his belief that America should reinstate racial segregation.
