Since Donald Trump’s time in politics and as president, his critics have made no bones about going after his supporters. Various media outlets and Democrats have branded individuals who support Trump as “deplorable,” an “army of trolls,” and worse. These accusations largely contribute to why certain news networks are referred to as “fake news.”

On Saturday, rapper and hip-hop megastar Kanye West held a church service in Salt Lake City, Utah. During this time, Kanye spoke about his support for President Trump and he noted the historical actions of the Republican Party.

The rapper furthermore noted the importance of choice and stated that making decisions purely based on one’s color is a manifestation of “mental slavery.”

An Overview of Kanye’s Latest Statements on Politics

Yesterday, Kanye spoke to an audience of thousands; the rapper noted that former President Abraham Lincoln (and a member of the Republican Party) freed the slaves.

Shortly thereafter, Kanye challenged the notion that African-Americans shouldn’t support President Trump. This is a notion which many individuals on the left-wing hold dear. Throughout his remarks, West noted the importance of having choices and not succumbing to “mental slavery.”
