Kanye on Trump and his work on criminal justice: “I think it’s the bravery … They tried to scare me to not wear this hat (his red MAGA hat).”

More Kanye on Trump: "My dad and my mom separated so there 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. It’s beautiful though."
Kanye also said Trump gave him “a Superman cape” to help do good.

So far we've hit Kanye's Nike-Adidas feud, the Unabomber, hydrogen powered planes, mental health pharmaceuticals, MAGA hats, and the 13th amendment in the Trump-Kanye summit, per @JenniferJJacobs

Looks like most people weren’t too concerned about Jim Brown being in attendance. When you have Kanye and Trump in the same room, there’s really not enough oxygen for anyone else to speak.
Kept waiting for Jim Brown to knock Kanye out with that cane he was leaning on.
