the universe threw together Donald Trump Kanye West in the Oval Office on
Thursday afternoon a collision that resulted in what may be the Trump here
as greatest mashup yet ahead of a planned lunch meeting West embraced
Trump in a hug at the resolute desk and expounded for 10 minutes straight on
sleep deprivation male energy liberals gun rights alternate realities
and much else while Jared Kushner Ivanka Trump football legend Jim Brown and a
crowd of stunted journalists looked on officially the purpose of trumps meeting
with West Brown Kushina and the first daughter was to discuss prison reform
urban revitalization violent crime in West's hometown of Chicago and other
priorities for black Americans but it's only sure result will be to briefly
focus the attention of a confused nation on the awesome spectacle offered free of
charge by its government as for policy west did at the prompting of a reporter
voice his opposition to stop and frisk and drum who on Monday said police
should implement the controversial tactic in Chicago did say that he was
open to looking at police reforms West spoke repeatedly about bringing
manufacturing operations back to the United States and about police shootings
and he advocated land ownership for black Americans we want a brand more
than we want land he said but the rapper also declared that time is a myth making
the prospect that Thursday's meeting would have some future effect on
governance appear remote if not absurd let's stop worrying about the future all
we have is today West said in response to a question about any future
presidential ambitions Trump is on his hero's journey right now he might not
have thought he'd have a crazy mother like me Wester pined on Hillary
Clinton's campaign slogan saying that I'm with her did not resonate with him
as a man who did not see much of his father growing up in contrast donning a
make America great again hat he said made me feel like Superman my dad and my
mom separated so was not a lot of male energy in my home
and also I'm married to a family where you know there's not a lot of male
energy he said referring to his in-laws the Kardashians it's beautiful though
West meandered from topic to topic in a free association monologue reminiscent
of Trump's extemporaneous stump speeches I don't answer questions in simple
soundbites West warned reporters you're tasting a fine wine it has multiple
notes to it much of what he said was unintelligible including a long
discussion of his mental health I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder he said
I was connected with a neuropsychologist that works with the athletes in the NBA
and the NFL and he looked at my brain I'm going to go ahead drop some balls on
you 98 percentile IQ test I had sleep deprivation which can cause dementia
10 to 20 years from now I wouldn't even remember my son's name
so all this power that I got and I'm taking my son to the Chicago White Sox
game and all that I wouldn't be able to remember his name from a misdiagnosis
what we need is we can empower the pharmaceuticals and make more money late
last month West stoked controversy when in a tweet he called for abolishing the
Thirteenth Amendment which ended slavery he later clarified his comments to TMZ
abolish was the wrong language he told the outlet I misspoke by saying abolish
amend is the right language on Thursday West again brought up the Thirteenth
Amendment though it was difficult to follow his reasoning as he asked
rhetorically would you build a trapdoor that if you mess up and you accidentally
something happens you fall and you end up next to the unabomb are at one point
west whipped out his iphone and in full view of cameras punched in his passcode
zero zero zero zero zero in order to show Trump an image of a hydrogen
powered airplane at another point Trump piped into praise West's performance
I've never seen Jim Brown impressed before the press
mused as he evaluated the reaction of the former Cleveland Browns fullback who
sat quietly next to West throughout the surreal scene during his remarks West
said he had met recently with Chicago financier Michael Sachs a confidant of
Mayor army manual to talk about crime and policing West has also been
discussing Chicago's violent crime epidemic with brown and Brown's wife
Monique in recent weeks according to Bruce Zeldin
CEO of phantom fireworks who works with brown on the football legends
philanthropic endeavors
