Kanye West Praises Trump During 10-Minute Oval Office Tirade
------------------------------------------------------------

Kanye West launched into a 10-minute expletive-riddled rant at the White
House Thursday during a meeting with President Trump, during what was
ostensibly an Oval Office meeting to discuss employment and workforce
training programs. This is a clip of Kanye West, who was wearing a red
"Make America Great Again" hat.

Kanye West: "But there's times where, you know, it's something about-you
know, I love Hillary. I love everyone, right? But the campaign 'I'm with
her' just didn't make me feel, as a guy that didn't get to see my dad
all the time, like a guy that could play catch with his son. It was
something about-when I put this hat on, it made me feel like Superman.
You made a Superman."

Kanye West has come under intense criticism over the last year for
praising President Trump and for claiming during a TMZ interview that
"slavery was a choice."
