For being a racist, bigot white-supremacist. He admitted at one of his concerts that he didn’t vote but that he would have voted for Trump.

Some are stupid, and others are ignorant. There is some significant overlap, however. ---

I’m not really sure, but I’m beginning to have a hint of a suspicion that **Drunky** has some sort of issue with the general tone of comments about our shiny new President on this board. Nothing I can really put my Trump-sized fingers on, understand… ---

I’d say Drunky Smurf pitting West for being a self-aggrandizing attention whore was just professional jealousy, if Drunky wasn’t such an obvious amateur. ---

The OP’s well-reasoned argument has changed my views. I am now convinced that no Trump supporter is motivated by racism. Even those who say they are. Instead I now believe that Trump voters are all has-been rap singers. ---

I’ve been listening to that new Drunky Smurf record that just came out, but I think someone ought to smack it. You see, it seems stuck in the same groove and can’t play any other line. ---
