Kanye West meets Trump

African-American rapper Kanye West African-American rapper Kanye West  met President Donald Trump at the  White House here where he said that wearing the Make America Great Again cap made him feel like ‘Superman’.‘There was something about putting this hat on that made me feel like Superman,’ CNN quoted West as saying after his meeting with the President in the Oval Office on Thursday.Trump’s campaign logo was Make America Great Again which he still endorses in rallies and meetings.West also said that the President was on a ‘hero’s journey’.‘Let’s stop worrying about the future, all we have is today,’ West said, commenting on his own presidential ambitions. ‘Trump is on his hero’s journey right now. He might not have thought he’d have a crazy mother-f***r like me (supporting him).’ The meeting had been billed by the White House as one centred on urban revitalisation, workforce training, African-American unemployment, potential future clemencies and crime in Chicago.West told reporters in the Oval Office that he had been asked to speak with the President about the detriments of applying stop-and-frisk policing policies in Chicago. The President has frequently praised the programme, telling a group of law enforcement last week that he has urged the city of Chicago to ‘strongly consider stop-and-frisk’.Trump in response said that he was ‘totally open’ to an alternative to stop-and-frisk.‘I’m totally open. If we can do it a different way, Kanye, I’m totally open but they all — we all agree that we have to do something,’ Trump told the rapper. (IANS)
