Former President Donald Trump has accounted for a dinner with rapper Kanye West and far-right nationalist Nick Fuentes. He did not know Fuentes, Trump wrote Friday (local time) on the Truth Social platform that he co-founded. Background is a dinner last Tuesday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in the US state of Florida. According to reports, West, now calling himself Ye, has taken 24-year-old Fuentes with him. Both have a history of spreading anti-Semitic hate speech.
Trump, 76, declared a week ago that he wanted to run again in 2024 as a Republican presidential candidate. West (45) had already indicated in 2020 that he wanted to participate again in the 2024 vote. He recently posted videos on Twitter with the words “Ye 24”. The rapper was once one of the few stars to publicly speak out for Trump.
West posted a video to Twitter after dinner claiming that Trump was “impressed” with Fuentes. Fuentes spreads anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and regularly makes racist remarks. The anti-racism organization Anti-Defamation League calls him a “white supremacist”. “White supremacy” describes the ideology of white supremacy. The organizer of the online event also opposes women’s rights and discriminates against the LGBTQI community.
“Unmoved“Meeting with screams?
Trump did not deny Fuente’s participation in the meal, but did not explicitly confirm it either. West called him about dinner, he wrote on Truth Social. “Shortly after, he showed up unexpectedly with three of his friends that I didn’t know.” Other people were also present at the meal, Trump said.
Referring to West, Trump wrote, “Either way, we got on well, he was not expressing anti-Semitism.” Trump added, “Why shouldn’t I agree to meet him?” View of the White House. In 2020, he had already applied for the office of president of the US, but due to missed registration deadlines, he did not get on the ballot in most states.
He advised him not to run for president under any circumstances, Trump continued. West, on the other hand, said in the video posted to Twitter that he suggested to Trump that the ex-president run as his running mate in the 2024 election. Trump yelled at him at the table and made him understand that he thought West was going to lose, West said. The ex-president, on the other hand, described the dinner as “quiet”.
