As you can tell, Yeezy is rocking the new blonde hairdo. My guess is that he dyed his hair to honor the new President-elect.
However, if Kanye’s meeting with Trump is about joining his cabinet, may we make a suggestion?
Mr. Trump, it would bring us, America, great joy to see you pick Kanye West to be your White House Press Secretary.
Typically, the press secretary is the mouthpiece for the White House and the president’s administration. Name me a better mouthpiece for Trump than West. The two icons’ personalities are so similar that people actually wrote articles to ask their audiences if they could guess whether Trump or Kanye said or tweeted a particular quote.
Kanye has recently gone through a rough patch after going into rehab, but this might be the bounce-back he needs. After the election, West announced that if he had voted, he would have voted for Trump in this election.
During his Saint Pablo tour, West told the audience, “There’s nonpolitical methods to speaking that I like, that I feel were very futuristic. And that style, and that method of communication, has proven that it can beat a politically correct way of communication.”
He continued by praising Trump’s campaign strategy, “I actually think that his approach was absolutely genius, because it f—ing worked.”
Yeezy pledged at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards to run for president in 2020. If he’s brought in to the Trump administration (which is unlikely), he can surely get some experience to run in the future.
After all, Trump’s win opened the door wide for Yeezy season to approach.
UPDATE:
Trump and Kanye emerged in front of the press after their meeting. Watch it below:
