President Trump said Thursday that rapper Kanye West supports him and his presidency because “he’s smart” and realizes that Trump is “doing a much better job than the Democrats did.”

“I get along with Kanye. I get along with a lot of people, frankly. But Kanye looks and he sees black unemployment at the lowest it’s been in the history of our country, OK? He sees Hispanic unemployment at the lowest it’s been in the history of our country. He sees, by the way female unemployment, women unemployment, the lowest it’s been in now almost 19 years,” Trump told “Fox and Friends” in a call-in interview Thursday morning. “He sees that stuff and he’s smart.”
