Did he have a look at his bank account or something
My eyes are now wide open and now realize I’ve been used to spread messages I don’t believe in. I am distancing myself from politics and completely focusing on being creative !!!— ye (@kanyewest) October 30, 2018

I thought it was amusing that @Jack took ye's advice and plans to get rid of the like button (stupid).

Truly the most Kanye moment ever:He donned the MAGA hat, met Trump at the WH, had other rappers insulting him online, and forced John Legend and Chance the Rapper into iPhone press releasesNothing.They put his name on some ill-designed sweaters and he disavowed within days— Astead (@AsteadWesley) October 30, 2018

Trump put ye's name on sweaters?

yeah what prompted this

Tweet right before it:
I introduced Candace to the person who made the logo and they didn’t want their name on it so she used mine. I never wanted any association with Blexit. I have nothing to do with it.— ye (@kanyewest) October 30, 2018

i think it also had something to do with the right wing violence this weekend because the tweet before that affirmed his support for asylum seekers.
what actually happened was he stabilized mentally. he wasn't himself in the oval office--his thoughts were shockingly disorganized.

Kanye being himself = acting like a fucking idiot
because that's who he is

he's not the most articulate guy in the world but there's a difference between how he usually is and how he was that day
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:11 (five years ago) link
articulate eh
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:14 (five years ago) link
is "Imma let you finish" how he usually is or nah

he has trouble expressing himself in the moment and he sometimes makes self-deprecating jokes about it. it's not a crime. and it's also not the same thing as being in the throes of some kind of episode where you make wild connections no one can follow in front of news cameras
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:17 (five years ago) link
maybe he was just inspired by/following the example of our current rectal polyp of a president
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:20 (five years ago) link
i mean, there ins't a parallel there, i'm sorry. kanye's embrace of trump was always super idiosyncratic. he wasn't cynically leveraging racial animus in order to gain political power. he wasn't even attacking others.
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:22 (five years ago) link
he has a lot in common with Trump
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:24 (five years ago) link
obsessed with wealth and status, not particularly bright, overhyped, insecure, out of his depth etc
Trunp is one of the worst human beings on earth, he isn’t “an insecure,” “not too bright” guy who is “out of his depth” and suffers from bipolar disorder.
― Trϵϵship, Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:29 (five years ago) link
Kanye has the same flaws many of us do. Trump ix a monster.

the former is a value judgment, the latter is a set of characteristics - they are not mutually exclusive

I left out that they're also both raging misogynists

he can't wind the clock back. before he could always be "george bush doesn't care about black people" kanye, whatever stupid shit he did, now he's eternally going to be "slavery was a choice" kanye, and no tweet is going to fix that
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 30 October 2018 22:32 (five years ago) link
fwiw I'm not saying they're morally equivalent, just that there's a LOT of commonality there - plenty of subjects where both of them could look at the other and go "hey, that guy's just like ME!"

Kanye is at least self-reflective at times and appears to have a sense of decency, compassion

an astro-turfed movement to convince black people to leave the Democratic party

It’s over, man. Kanye’s a liberal. I let him back on 77.
