´So China... so Vietnam... it be cool if it would be Trump factories... he is a master of industry´. Ok, I have much respect for the US and for rappers, but this kind of talk is inappropriate in front of a president in media. Even if it´s Trump, who is inappropriate by nature. But this won´t happen in Europe. To approche a president you need to formulate very adequate and toughtful. I think the credibility in American media is lacking sometimes. And that´s a pity because the US is a great country and Americans are great. But sometimes (or actually many times) the american media puts up situations and people that are sensational, awesome and shocking, without any intellectual qualities. So that forms the image of the country. And I know better. You have great universities, great science, writers, music, thinkers, movies and culture in general. But it is oversnowed with sensation and stupidity in media. If American media figures would be replaced by the more intellectual American figures it would be great. You deserve it. Much love from Europe!

Well, the hip hop community rather see this as betrayal. That´s stupid because any person can have any opinion and sympathy. A black rapper must be able to have sympathy for someone like Trump. Tha sad thing is that Trump as labbeled as `racist´ and ´far-right´ and ´dictatorial´ even though it´s not true. That´s because someone who is coming up from his country and wants a migration policy (wich Obama started, many people forget or don´t know) is automatically labeled as ultra-nationalistic, fascist and racist because the people who label don´t know the definitions of those terms. Trump has a good policy, and it´s for all Americans with any ethnical background, skincolor, age, or gender. So, Kanye sees that. And he sees that he is a good person. Mayeb a little crazy now and then. But good. But in general, the black hip hop community is thinking in black and white (as a matter of speaking) and think: ´you chose Trump, than you chose racism and against our views´. Wich is false. It´s not true. Kanyes choses Trump, and therefore choses America. And therefor choses also the black hip hop community. And he sees things in trump´s vision and standpoints that they don´t see (or want tos see).
