Trump says rapper Kanye West has ‘good taste’ for liking him
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump praised Kanye West on Thursday for having “good taste” for supporting the president.
Trump said in an interview with “Fox & Friends” that he knew the rapper “a little bit” and always got along with him, and said that West has noticed the low unemployment rate for black Americans.
“He sees that stuff and he’s smart and he says, ‘you know what, Trump is doing a much better job than the Democrats did,’” the president said.
West recently offered his support for Trump in a series of tweets, saying they both share “dragon energy.” That caused a backlash among other public figures who oppose the president
