You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

The American president then replied on Twitter: “Thank you Kanye, very cool!”
Meanwhile, Kim previously dismissed critics of her husband, saying he’s “years ahead of his time”.
In 2018, she wrote: “Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time (sic)”
