You are onto a pretty dramatic comparison here.

Kanye can do a surprise concert in a White lives matter t-shirt and is still called a grifter. Maybe he is, or maybe he's actually a good natured guy.. either way, in a wink he can lose more money than I'll ever make in my lifetime, and there he is wearing that shirt. Coward that I am, I'd shit my pants wearing that shirt to the grocery, and yet there's Kanye doing a concert in it.

Meanwhile, President Trump, who was supposedly elected on a ballot of White Nationalism, didnotwouldnotcouldnot ever even possibly wear that shirt to any event. Bearing in mind BLM bloomed on his watch. He chose generally to pretend we don't exist unless cornered on it ("proud boys, stand back and stand by"), before going right back to bragging about how he is the least racist, about black wahmen labor statistics and so forth. And yet he won the Presidential vote, probably twice, on the White bloc.

Puts interesting possibilities in my brain considering Kanye's rationale on his "presidential run" and his nature in general. If he wanted to make money for the sake of money he never needed to step outside the bounds of what he had been doing. Like is T_D et al known for buying more rap albums than the fucking Moloch-to-subwoofer pipeline that Kanye used to be scalp deep in? I press X to doubt.

It could be more of a messiah complex thing, recognizing people who oppose each other each as having valid rationale, views and feelings, and seeing that even as a black man this makes him more compassionate to White Nationalists than a fake Orange Hitler. If he is good natured and genuinely cares, and he has money on the level of many world leaders anyhow, that makes him pretty naive by-the-dollar.... so why wouldn't we expect him to try his hand at world peace? He is just gonna die rich someday whatever he does, so as naive or grifty as it seems to normal people he gives it a shot. I know poor people with this naive sort of pure goodness to them irl. "Bad" people wonder why these dudes pretend to be so good, who are they trying to fool, etc.

Is it so unlikely that this random rapper came to a genuinely good mindset? If so, and he feels that he's in the stratosphere of power due to his wealth, then he'd feel he has the option to attempt Kanye-headcannon world peace and go to Heaven trying. I view it amiably lol.
