Kanye West Just Implied He's Voting for Donald Trump in the 2020 Presidential Election

Kanye West implied he's voting for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, surprising absolutely no one.

He said his parents didn't fight for him "to be told by white people which white person I can vote on."

He also walked back his statement that "George Bush doesn’t care about black people."

Would it be too much to say 2020 has been the worst year of our collective lives? Seriously, even after all the crap we've been through this year, we also have a presidential election in November. And here to talk about the election is none other than Kanye West on the cover of GQ magazine.

Hear that sound Kanye? It's your career dying.

You can not stop someone from being willfully ignorant or from trying to ignite their career by being an asshat.

The old saying any publicity is good publicity will never make him relevant again.

He's popular. Don't ask me why, but he is. He influences people that look up to him. Sad but true.

His journey into being a sleazy televangelist who hawks ridiculously overpriced sweatshirts and crappy gospel music is pretty well documented. He's a slick looking huckster and a natural fit for the MAGA crowd.

Maybe the way he's been treated has contributed, but there's really no excuse for supporting a piece of shit like Trump.

Speaking of assholes who interrupt musical geniuses, I can highly recommend the Netflix series, Miss Americana.

I gained an appreciation for Taylor Swift, whom I took to be like just another flash in the pan.

And an ass
He also is ill and not taking medication for bipolar

This was post 16 he said he never voted
so he works as an influencer for trump
but never gets it together or gets off his ass to register to vote if he is to believed

Anyone here remember Kanye 2020?

As I've said, this election is a referendum on the American people not Trump. It will tell us if we are good or a bad people. Kanye is an example of how some of us only think consider ourselves when we vote, not the health and well-being of our fellow Americans. Let alone the sacrifices that our health care workers, first responders, transit workers, and other essential personnel have to take on. All due to the incompetence of this president.

The Kardashian family endorsed Hillary last time, and they have far more influence than Kanye, so there's that.
