Kanye Is Now Officially Meeting With Donald Trump
Just when you were ready to dismiss Kanye’s Donald Trump endorsement as an unfortunate side effect of his alleged psychotic episode, CNN reports that Kanye West is on his way to a meeting with Donald at Trump Towers.
And if you don’t wanna take their word for it, they have pictures to prove it. And CSPAN has video.

So far, Trump’s people are keeping the reason for this meeting under lock and key, but they did confirm it’s happening. It’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out.
Trump spox Hope Hicks confirms @kanyewest is meeting with the president-elect, though it is still unclear why.

Is Trump thanking Kanye for his support and asking him to persuade the rest of the Illuminati lizard celebs to publicly endorse him too?
Is he asking Yeezy if he’ll perform at his inauguration to help squash the rumors that he doesn’t like black people?
Or is he gonna pull a fast one on all of us and offer Ye a seat in his cabinet?
Stay tuned, y’all. We’ll keep you updated as this story unfolds.
UPDATE:
During a press conference, Trump said of Kanye, “we’ve been friends for a long time,” and that they just met as friends to discuss “life.”
When a reported asked Kanye if he’d be preforming at the inauguration, Kanye replied, “I just wanted to take a picture with him right now.”

UPDATE #2:
Even though Donald told reporters that he didn’t talk business with Kanye, E! reports that was a lie.
A source close to Ye said Kanye and Trump discussed the possibility of Kanye becoming an “ambassador of sorts” and taking an “entrepreneurial leadership role,” whatever tf that means.
It pains me to say this, but I believe the Kimye divorce rumors now.
And here we thought that Blac Chyna would be the most damaging thing to happen to the Kardashian family name this year.
UPDATE #3:
Kanye is now tweeting about today’s meeting, officially confirming that they didn’t just talk about “life.”
He wrote:
“I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues. These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and voilence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change.”
And then he capped it all off by tweeting, “#2024,” which is headache-inducing to think about right now for a variety of reasons.
