Internet in disbelief as Kanye West slams Trump, praises Nick Fuentes in weird 'Mar-a-lago debrief' video

Kanye West claims Donald Trump screamed at the table telling him he 'was gonna lose'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kanye West released a video on Thursday night, November 24, which is a two-minute campaign promo where he dissed former President Donald Trump. Last week, the 45-year-old rapper announced his plans to run for president again in 2024.

“The thing that Trump was most perturbed about [is] me asking him to be my vice president,” the rapper said in one of the videos. “I think that was, like, lower on the list of things that caught him off guard.” “It was the fact that I walked in with intelligence,” he said.

'Bonding over antisemitism': Outrage as Kanye West and Nick Fuentes head to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump

The campaign teaser, titled 'Mar-a-Lago debrief', comes two days after West was seen with avowed white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. The rapper sparked controversy in recent weeks with his antisemitic remarks. West and Fuentes, wearing sunglasses, were seen in a video walking through the Miami airport, said reports.

In the video, West goes on to praise Fuentes. “Nick Fuentes, unlike so many of the lawyers and some of the people [Trump] was left with on his 2020 campaign, he’s actually a loyalist,” West said. “When all the lawyers said, ‘forget it, Trump’s done,’ there were loyalists running up in the White House, right? And my question would be, ‘Why, when you had the chance, did you not free the January 6ers?’” West speaks about counseling Trump to “go and get these people that the media tried to cancel". The video then flashes pictures of Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, Trump ally Roger Stone, and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. 

West reveals in the same video that Trump insulted Kim Kardashian. The insult is beeped. “I was thinking, like, that’s the mother of my children,” West said. West went on to say in the video that Trump was unhappy with his plans for higher office. “When Trump started basically screaming at the table telling me I was gonna lose, I mean, has that ever worked for anyone in history? I’m like, ‘wait, hold on Trump, you’re talking to Ye,’” he said. The video ends with the intro to his 2016 song 'Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1' and a title card reading 'YE24'. 

West and Fuentes are being slammed on social media, with one user writing on Twitter, "“Trump is really impressed with Nick Fuentes” For people who don’t know, Nick Fuentes is a notorious white supremacist (who believes in the separation of “races”), an antisemite who denies the holocaust. Not a surprise to see him hang out with bigots like Kanye West and Trump." "Don't know if I would trust someone like him around me," said one user, while another wrote, "Nick Fuentes is a very vocal white supremacist and great replacement conspiracists. He wants an Aryan AMERICA. Watch yourself around him".

"Nick Fuentes…Ye, look up some Fuentes videos," one user said, while another wrote, "Sorry Kanye the Bible has NO place in our government. Stick to creating your own church it will suit you better." One user wrote, "lol kanye running for president w nick fuentes and milo is comedy imagine saying this 5 years ago".
