Honest question: Why is everybody so piqued about the Trump/Kanye/Fuentes/Tim Pool thing?
posted 3 years ago by xleb2 3 years ago by xleb2 +36 / -0

I give no shits about who Trump lets into his house for dinner - his house his business. How did beanie boy insert himself into the drama?

Why is everybody talking about this? Enlighten me.

Kanye is living out his own fantasy world of becoming a political figure/presidential candidate, based on his own half-arsed impressions of how the right-wing media circus/political circuit on the internet works and he's wondering why it isn't working.

He wanted Lex Friedman to come to his aid in the Jewish question, and was obviously expecting more of him, but that didn't pan out because Friedman is just a podcast host/AI researcher with delusions of grandeur. He got rejected by the Daily Wire, because Ben Shapiro is a canny and cynical political operative and didn't want his pulpit tarnished. Tim Pool was a pit stop on the political circuit that he must have realized it would fail as soon as he sat down.

Fuentes and Milo are tagging along, because Kanye is their ride to fame and attention. Kanye is probably scratching his head why using Jewish Milo isn't helping redress the antisemitism thing. "Look he's Jewish!" :')

Kanye is trying to do everything himself, whereas Trump hired the right people.

Okay but why do you point out Milo (who has converted to Catholicism) was born to a jewish mother but you don't explicitly point out Ben Shapiro or Lex Friedman are jewish? Furthermore one of the largest criticisms of Trump right now is that he didn't hire "the right people" while he was president. He seemed to go out of his way to hire the very neocons who did everything they could to sabotage him in 2016 and avoid hiring people who would be loyal to him.

And Ben Shapiro is obvious, lol.

And Trump hired the right people, because they got him into office, in one of the greatest upsets in recent American history. What he did later, while in office, was another question.
