During an interview with Tucker Carlson that aired last night on his Fox News show, rapper Kanye West “Ye” described former President Donald Trump as a friend.
Ye also insisted that Trump “Wanted nothing but the best for this country” while he was in the White House.
“When I sit across the table from a Josh Kushner and he just feels so entitled to that idea and this guy has never brought anything of value other than being a so-called good venture capitalist, I have a major issue with that,” Ye explained.
Ye then took it further by telling Carlson, “It makes me feel like they weren’t serving my boy, Trump, the way we could have, because, you know, Trump wanted nothing but the best for this country.”
“It doesn’t, like, Moses stuttered and … God is not always going to bring the most perfect personality, a lot of times, the most fake people, their job is talking and making people feel comfortable and the realest people are going to make you feel uncomfortable at first,” Ye added.

During another part of the interview, Carlson asked Ye if he was manipulated by political forces through Kim Kardashian.
West admits that him not saying he likes Trump was a form of manipulation by his ex-wife.
Carlson then asked Ye why he liked Trump to which he responded, that their “conservative values” lined up and that he was impressed by what Trump had accomplished in his life.
“Trump’s the sh*t man, he’s got his own buildings, he’s like Ralph Lauren, he made Ivanka,” West gushed, which made Carlson chuckle.
