Infamous rapper Kayne West has left the world of pop culture in a stunned stupor after posting several tweets in support of President Donald Trump.
As you can imagine, folks on the left, particularly the Hollywood crowd, are furious with West for supporting a Republican, especially Trump, ripping into the man on Twitter for daring to be black and defy the Democratic Party’s narrative.
Check out the hate Kanye’s getting from these people.
via Breitbart:
A horde of Hollywood celebrities took to Twitter this week to slam Kanye West after the fashion designer and Grammy-winning rapper expressed love and support for President Donald Trump.
Comedian and former View co-host Rosie O’Donnell scolded West’s attempt to encourage people to challenge conventional thinking, warning him that President Trump is “a fucking moron kanye” and demanding he “wake from the illusion.”
hes a fucking moron kanye – wake from the illusion

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn called West a “complete freaking lunatic” responding to a tweet in which President Trump celebrated West for tweeting his “signed” Make America Great Again hat.
It’s nice to see black people and white people coming together to be complete freaking lunatics. https://t.co/QaIs8LdPN4

Elsewhere, singer John Legend, a longtime collaborator with West, appeared to address Kanye West’s recent remarks about breaking mental prisons and President Trump.
“I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can’t be blind to the truth,” Legend wrote in a series of tweets. “The defining trait of Trump’s campaign and political profile was his embrace of white supremacy. He made it clear every time he spoke. Some serious cognitive dissonance to ignore that for the other x% you might find appealing. I guess I agree with >1% of anyone’s thoughts though.”

If you think Donald Trump is a good alternative to anything, you're out of your phucking tree.

Just look at all of that delicious tolerance oozing out the progressive crust of Hollywood. Tasty!
It’s funny how the left constantly talks tolerance and inclusivity, about being open-minded and accepting of other views until they pose challenges to their own.
Kanye is proving that legitimate thinking people, which happen to be the majority of Americans, are more complex in their political views than liberals give them credit for.
Many people tend to think on an issue-by-issue basis rather than blindly subscribing to a whole system of ideological thought, largely because reality is far too complicated for something like that.
Here’s to hoping West stays brave in the onslaught and remains true to himself, regardless of what others might think.
