U srijedu, Twitter je eksplodirao zbog niza tweetova objavljenih od predsjednika Donalda Trumpa i repera Kanyea Westa, jer su dvojica muškaraca pokazala međusobno poštovanje na platformi društvenog medija.
Kanye je tweetao: “Ne morate se složiti s Trumpom, ali rulja me ne može natjerati da ga ne volim. Oboje posjedujemo energiju zmajeva. On je moj brat. Volim sve. Ne slažem se sa svime što netko radi. To je ono što nas čini pojedincima. I mi imamo pravo na neovisnu misao.”
You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

Predsjednik Trump odgovorio je komentarom: “Hvala ti Kanye, baš cool!”
Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://t.co/vRIC87M21X

Kanye je također tweetao slike sebe kako nosi kapu Make America Great Again, potpisanu od Trumpa:

Kanye je nakon toga objavio svoju fotografiju na posteru na kojem piše “Održite Ameriku velikom. #KANYE2024”. Termin “Održite Ameriku velikom” je slogan Trumpove kampanje za 2020.

Reakcije na Trumpove i Kanyeove tweetove bile su većinom pozitivne s političke desnice, a ljevica je očekivano prešla u “mod sudnjeg dana”:

And by “love” he means “attention.” https://t.co/Ons1AAIcTR

The most interesting about this photo is not the fact that Kanye has taken a full residency in the sunken place. The interesting question is: why is Lyor Cohen throwing up a hand signal that’s been associated with white nationalist groups? https://t.co/Ktf9BI76fe
