President Donald Trump finally responded to Kanye West's support Wednesday as many observers still trying to figure out why the music mogul and occasional harsh critic of previous presidents has embraced the current occupant of the Oval Office.
"You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him," West said in a tweet Wednesday afternoon. "We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought."
In response, Trump tweeted: "Thank you Kanye, very cool!"
The tweet immediately garnered widespread attention, with many observers perplexed that the man who once said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" would use such kind words about a president most Americans believe is racist.
But many just pointed out the absurdity of it all.

Does @elonmusk’s cyborg dragon run on @kanyewest ‘s dragon energy? Or are those, like, two different things?

I think we may have all died or been drugged in some global cataclysmic event two or three years ago and our current reality is a mass hallucination.

my theory right now is that kanye is so color struck that it has poisoned his brain (see also: o.j. simpson)
