U četvrtak, Kanye West posjetio je Bijelu kuću kako si razgovarao o reformi kaznenog pravosuđa s predsjednikom Trumpom. U Bijeloj kući, Kanye je uveden u Ovalni ured, gdje je uzeo mikrofon kao da se obraća Taylor Swift na Video Music Awards. Zatim je počeo.
Noseći svoju Make America Great Again kapu, Kanye je izjavio: “Postojalo je nešto kad sam stavio ovu kapu na glavu što me učinilo da se osjećam kao Superman … Napravili ste Supermana — to je moj omiljeni superjunak — napravili ste Supermanov plašt za mene.”

I imao je par riječi o Drugom amandmanu:
If you watch one clip from Oval Office Kanye, watch him dunk on press over legal gun ownership & The 2nd Amendment:
"The problem is illegal guns. Not legal guns. We have the right to bear arms."
Then apologizes to Trump for putting him "on blast" over stop-and-frisk

Bio je to nevjerojatan trenutak — i jasno je uzdrmao Trumpa. Možda najsmješniji trenutak desio se kad je Kanye inzistirao da pokaže Trump sliku aviona na hidrogenski pogon:
Kanye West just pitched Trump on the iPlane One. "It's a hydrogen-powered airplane and this is what our president should be flying in."
"We'll get rid of Air Force One," Trump responded. "Can we get rid of Air Force One?" pic.twitter.com/NVKbrJjtbk
