Trump puts his ego first
“Why wouldn’t I agree to meet you?” Donald Trump said of his dinner with Kanye West.
Maybe because Ye spewed anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and said he was going to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”?
Maybe because he approached Adidas officials with pornography and intimate photos of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian?
Or, more importantly, if Trump really cares about the people of Israel, his own daughter and son-in-law, the question should be “why should I?” rather than “why shouldn’t I?”
But no. You said some nice things about him on TV — the #1 thing Trump looks for in a dinner companion — so none of the other facts mattered.
Trump was also impressed with Nick Fuentes, as he praised the former president at the dinner. That Fuentes is a white nationalist Holocaust denier — well, that was never mentioned, Trump says. Not “I denounce what he represents”. It’s “Kanye brought a guest I didn’t know”.
“Kanye brought a guest that I didn’t know,” Trump said after dinner.
The rapper brought Fuentes with him to Trump’s home without Trump’s knowledge.
After driving away every able aide through paranoia or his bitter fixation on losing the 2020 election, this is now the company Trump keeps. The Groypers, the Proud Boys – Trump won’t report any of them. They love it, so how bad can they be? And so – again – Trump puts his own ego before common sense, before tolerance, before judgment, before country.
