Before having lunch together at the White House, President Trump heaped praise on one of his most high-profile supporters: rapper Kanye West.
“He can speak for me any time he wants," Trump said. "He’s a smart cookie. He gets it.”
The president said West "could very well be" a presidential candidate in the future, though only after 2024.
At one point during the Oval Office meeting, West went behind the president's desk and hugged him.
Trump also praised the rapper after he went on what a White House reporter called "a 10-minute soliloquy that included saying he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder." In response, the president said: "I tell you what that was pretty impressive ... That was quite something.”
West, who donned a Make America Great Again hat, said, "They tried to scare me to not wear this hat. But, this hat gives me power in some way."
