*Kanye West met with Donald Trump this afternoon at the White House for a lunch meeting to allegedly discuss prison reform, urban revitalization and witnessing 45 sign a music licensing bill.
And while all that may have gone down… many who witnessed the event both live and online have all concluded that the biggest takeaway was that Kanye was being Kanye… and he served up yet another long-winded hot mess of a rant.
Even rapper T.I. exploded at Ye’s oval office ramblings: “This sh*t is next level,futuristic Sambo,Hopping Bob, Stephen off Django ass shit Ye!!!! From what I can gather… This is the most repulsive,disgraceful, Embarrassing act of desperation & auctioning off of one’s soul to gain power I’ve ever seen.”

TooFab also broke down the 11 most Kanye things that unfolded during Kanye West’s afternoon at the White House. Peep the list below.
OTHER NEWS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED: Beyonce & Jay Z’s Friendship w/ Kim & Kanye ‘Completely Over’ After Pro-Trump Rants
1. Kanye began the meeting by praising Trump’s efforts in North Korea, saying, “On day one, you solved one of [Obama’s] biggest troubles. We solved one of the biggest problems.”
2. Regarding the lack of support he’s received from Hollywood regarding his decision to sport Trump’s MAGA hat, Kanye said, “They tried to scare me to not wear this hat — my own friends — but this hat — it gives me power in a way.”
3. “I love Hillary, I love everyone, but the campaign, ‘I’m With Her,’ just didn’t make me feel as a guy — that didn’t get to see my dad all the time — like a guy that can play catch with his son,” Kanye said. “There was something about — when I put this hat on — it made me feel like Superman. That’s my favorite superhero, and you made a Superman cape for me.”
4. “Let’s stop worrying about the future. All we have is today,” Kanye said. “Trump is on his hero’s journey right now. He might not have thought he’d have a crazy motherf—ker like Kanye West [supporting him].”
5. Kanye also brought up his recent and controversial appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” saying, “What I need ‘SNL’ and liberals to improve on is, if he don’t look good, we don’t look good. He has to be the freshest, the flyest, have the flyest planes. He has to look good! When we make everything in China and not America, we’re cheating on our country.”
6. “There’s a lot of things that affect our mental health that put us into this trap door that is the 13th Amendment,” Kanye said, adding that when people fall through this trap door, they “end up next to the Unabomber.” Kanye also suggested we do away with the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery, because the number 13 is traditionally unlucky. “We don’t have 13th floors, do we?” he said.
Kanye West met with Trump, and the meeting turned into the kind of long-winded, high-profile rant that West has become infamous for. Here are some highlights https://t.co/l4hMBlaZU1 pic.twitter.com/Z4xeC8CkFK

7. Kanye also told Trump and reporters he had been recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Ye claimed it was a misdiagnosis and that he’s merely sleep-deprived.
8. When a reporter asked Ye about his feelings on gun control, he replied, “Illegal guns is the problem, not legal guns. We have the right to bear arms.”
9. “I brought a gift with me,” Kanye said, pulling out his phone to show Trump a photo. “This right here is the iPlaneOne. It’s a hydrogen-powered airplane, and this is what our president should be flying in. Look at this, Jared.” (Twitter also spotted that Kanye’s iPhone passcode is 0000. We’re guessing it won’t be for long.)
10. A reporter asked Trump, “Is [Kanye] a future presidential candidate?” Trump replied, “Could very well be.” Kanye added, “Only after 2024.”
11. Trump later said, “He can speak for me any time he wants. He’s a smart cookie. He gets it.”
#Kanye couldn’t have said it better: Illegal guns are the problem, and we have the right to bear arms. The #NRA’s nearly six million members are glad to see a celebrity who gets it, and who is willing to stand with the #2A. @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/RJffxucAM5

Meanwhile, here’s how some Hollywood stars are reacting to the spectacle:
Kanye West says he thinks of Trump as a father. Guess who doesn’t think of Kanye as a son?

It’s this kind of bullshit that got us into this mess in the first place. SMDH.

As I said Tuesday, Kanye’s struggling right now, and having him to the WH was exploitive. Saudi Arabia just whacked a lawful US resident, the strongest hurricane (pressure wise) in modern history hit FL – @realDonaldTrump is ranting on @FoxNews, and trying to spin @Olivianuzzi ?♂️ https://t.co/n5Fl2sjKIV

After decades of insisting celebrities shouldn’t get involved in politics, conservatives are now like “OMG Kid Rock and Kanye West are at the White House!” They can front all they want, but we see how desperate the right is for celebrity attention.

How long do you think Tang will allow Kanye to hold court? He’s not a fan of those who get more laughs and attention than him. Oh wait, he just complimented Tang. That bought him another 10 minutes at least.

And Yeezy wants his name on stuff just like Tang. What a matched set of…um…of? Something. A matched set of something. Yeah, that’s it. These two are a pair.
