President Trump suggested in a new interview that he bears no harsh feelings for Kanye West, who recently announced a run for the White House and said he no longer supports the commander-in-chief.
“He is always going to be for us, and his wife is going to be for us,” the president told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday, referring to the rapper and reality TV star Kim Kardashian West, The Hill reported.
The sneaker mogul, who announced his presidential candidacy Saturday, told Forbes magazine this week that he was “taking the red hat off, with this interview” as he launched his Iown party for 2020 — “the Birthday Party.”
“[He’s a] very good guy. He is a person that I get along with very well,” Trump said on Fox News. “At the end I think he would support us over anyone else, we have to stop the radical left from taking over our country.”
West, who has not taken any concrete steps to actually file to run for the presidency, delivered an F-bomb- and curse-filled rant during a meeting in the Oval Office in October 2018.
Trump later said the MAGA hat-wearing rapper could one day fill his shoes in the White House.
