Ye and Donald Trump’s Shaky Relationship Explained
Ye and Donald Trump started out on good terms. The Chicago rapper first met up with Donald Trump in 2016 at the Trump Tower in New York City and received backlash from the hip-hop community. By 2018, Ye and Trump sat down at the White House, where the rapper suggested “abolishing” the 13th Amendment, amongst other ideas. When Ye decided to run for president in 2020, things took a turn between the two. In 2022, Trump called the rapper a “seriously troubled man” on his Truth Social account following Ye’s string of anti-Semitic comments.
Trump and Ye’s once-close bond was also discussed during an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on July 24. Alyssa Farah Griffin, the White House’s former Director of Strategic Communications revealed during her time on the show that Trump wanted to have Ye come and do a church service on the White House’s lawn to unify the country during his tenure in office. The video can be seen below.
“One day, he wanted to have Ye come and do a church service on the White House’s lawn to unify the country, and I can’t think of anything less unifying,” Alyssa Farah Grifin said at the 1:15 mark of the video below. “But we were like, ‘Not the time or place, sir.'”
