I love how Trump supporters keep pointing to black people who voted for him…and these black people all happen to be crazy or idiotic. Like the same type of person who sings out loud on the bus like that’s perfectly appropriate behavior. Congratulations. Cray cray Kanye is on your team. This totally means Trump voters made the right call. ---

“I’m so appalled, Spalding ball, Balding Donald Trump takin dollars from y’all. Baby your fired, your girlfriend hired But if you don’t mind I’ma keep you on call We above the law, we don’t give a fuck bout y’all…” Sounds like Kanye kinda called it. 😉 ---

You are confused. 'Ye was talking about Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan, The Black Trump. I’m still disappointed that Trump went with “Make American Great Again” instead of Raekwon the Chef’s “You rolling like Trump, you get your meat lumped” from his classic “[Incarcerated Scarfaces](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbSUCjMAyII)”. Time will only tell if Trump’s “slang rap democracy” will result in a “policy” that requires us to “slide off the rings and the Wallabees”. I could get behind that if it replaced the IRS. ---

My theory is that Kayne is hoping Trump will invite him to the ceremony…then at the last minute Kayne goes on a rant on how Gore and Hillary deserved the presidency way more than Trump… ---

[QUOTE= Drunky Smurf] 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. What the hell is wrong with these rednecks? [/QUOTE] HHAHAHAHHAHAHAH but seriously, this guy is a stone cold loser; “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” interrupting Taylor Swift, etc. ---

Kanye and Trump are basically the same guy born into different circumstances. No surprise, really. ---
