Kim Kardashian urges Kanye West to abandon thoughts of running for president: 'Focus on mental health instead'
According to reports, during her emotional visit to Wyoming to see husband Kanye West, Kim Kardashian urged the rapper to abandons all thoughts of running for the president of the United States this year and "focus on his mental health instead.''
"Kim urged Kanye to not move forward with running for president, but he won't listen," a source told People Magazine. In a Forbes interview earlier this month, the musician said, "God just gave me the clarity and said it’s time. You know I was out there, ended up in the hospital, people were calling me crazy. I'm not crazy."
Although the KKW Beauty mogul initially appeared to support her husband’s presidential ambitions by reposting her husband's declaration to run for office on her own social media page, along with an American flag emoji on July 4, she soon changed her tune after Kanye shockingly revealed at a South Carolina rally that the couple had considered having an abortion when she became pregnant with the oldest daughter North and later claimed on Twitter that Kim tried to have him "locked up." He also called his mother-in-law "white supremacist" and called her 'Kris Jung-un.'
After weeks of the rapper refusing to meet his wife, Kim finally flew to the Wyoming ranch where Kanye is currently holed up. On Monday, photos taken by paparazzi of the power couple, revealed a tearful Kim having an intense discussion with her husband.
Another source told the outlet at the time that Kim was drained and in pain: "She is very emotional about everything and also exhausted. She feels very hurt by Kanye. She has tried to reach him multiple times, and he just ignores her." After returning from Wyoming sans her husband, the mother-of-four decided to make her children her priority and shield them from the negative gossip circulating in the media about their parents.
“She is shielding the kids. All of her family is. They’ve circled around the kids and are insulating them from all of this. And everyone else has decided to create an atmosphere of normalcy around them,” the insider said. Apparently, Kim ''feels trapped'' but is refusing to divorce Kanye till he seeks help from a medical professional regarding his bipolar condition. "She loves Kanye and she thinks of him as the love of her life. But she doesn't know what to do," the insider said.
Although the six-year union between Kim and Kanye was under strain even before the recent incidents, things seem to have come close to a breaking point now. "Kim was thinking that they need to be apart," the source said. "She knows that it's not healthy for her to be around him now, and it's honestly not healthy for the kids. He needs to get his stuff together before he can be any sort of partner or father." Regardless, no matter what, "Kim wants the best for Kanye," an insider says. "And she will always want what's best for him."
