West’s Support of Trump
West has been in the news frequently for supporting President Donald Trump.West said he was “bullied” by people backstage, who tried to get him to take the hat off.
“They bullied me backstage. They said, ‘Don’t go out there with that hat on.’ They bullied me and then they said I’m in the sunken place!” he said. “I think the universe has balance. Ninety percent of news is liberal—90 percent of TV, L.A., New York, writers, rappers, musicians—so it’s easy to make it seem like it’s so, so, so one-sided.”
West has been praised by President Trump for his support.
