Donald Trump and the Wild Wild West: Ya gotta see it.

Post by _MeDotOrg »

Hunter S. Thompson died too soon.

Just watch the meeting between Trump and Kanye. See if you can hold on until the end.

I'm not sure of a transcript of this could capture what is the most painful televised Presidential meeting I can remember, but let me just give you a snippet of Kanye:

You know, my dad and my mom separated, so I didn’t have a lot of male energy in my home. And also I’m married now into a family that, you know, not a lot of male energy going on, it’s beautiful though. But there’s times where, you know, it’s something about, I love Hillary, I love everyone, right, but the campaign “I’m With Her” just didn’t make me feel as a guy that didn’t get to see my dad all the time, like a guy that could play catch with his son. It was something about when I put this [MAGA] hat on, it made me feel like Superman. You made us Superman, that’s my favorite superhero, and you made a Superman cape for me.

Keep in mind, this meeting is at the behest of the President of the United States. We are living in bizarro world. Every week you it can't get any weirder, and Trump finds a way to stretch the envelope. If anyone watches The Man in the High Castle, I kinda feel like I'm living in the neutral zone.

Just a question for the Trump supporters on this board:

If Obama or Clinton had the exact same meeting with Kanye West, how do you think it would have handled by Fox News and the Republican Party?

I watched the entire thing the day it took place. I didn't have to hang on. This part that you copied:

You know, my dad and my mom separated, so I didn’t have a lot of male energy in my home. And also I’m married now into a family that, you know, not a lot of male energy going on, it’s beautiful though. But there’s times where, you know, it’s something about, I love Hillary, I love everyone, right, but the campaign “I’m With Her” just didn’t make me feel as a guy that didn’t get to see my dad all the time, like a guy that could play catch with his son.

What's wrong with it? I understand perfectly what he's saying.

As to the meeting. My understanding is that what was on camera wasn't the meeting and the meeting was to be held after media was dismissed just as they are for other White House meetings.

That the man communicates differently doesn't mean that his message lacks meaning.

MeDot did you disagree with the connection he made between the Reagan administration move to decrease mental health care facilities and the growing prison population in the US?

What about his position on Chicago's inner city and what he sees as remedies to crime there?

I think you're a racist.

And I think Obama did have many such meetings, remind me how they were covered?

Who cares? i mean what difference does it really make? The Democrats claim to support minorities buy again and again we see Democrats mock and ridicule them when they don't serve their rich white purposes.

President Barack Obama invited several entertainers to the White House for a “youth empowerment” program — including rapper Rick Ross, who was just indicted for assaulting and kidnapping two workers he caught throwing a party at his 235-acre Fayetteville, Georgia home.


Obama invites Macklemore, a 33-year-old rapper, grievance-monger and teen idol who reportedly believed that former President George W. Bush orchestrated the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

I appreciated hearing this little essay. I have been deeply confused trying to understand how people are attracted to this Trump fellow. All I see is an unpleasant egotist that keeps reminding me of an untrustworthy used car salesman. Now I get a glimpse of what others are experiencing that gets them all excited.

Makes them feel like superman.

Please tell me specifically what I wrote in the OP that makes me a racist.

It's funny how if I ask a direct question, you can't get a direct answer, but again: If Obama had the same meeting with Kanye West, how do you think it would have been handled at Fox or Breitbart or the RNC?

I'm not sure. Do you have examples of how Fox and Breitbar reacted when Obama met with degenerate performers in the past?

How did the mainstream media react with Trump meeting Kanye?

Also, I think this was hilarious and an embarrassment for Trump. It was a hot mess, in my opinion.
