Responses to West’s Meeting with President Trump
Much of America vocalized their surprise upon learning that Kim Kardashian West would travel to the White House. Some critics even questioned whether or not the reality star truly held the qualifications to speak about such an impactful issue. However, other Americans opined that West’s use of her platform in this manner is helpful and worthy of praise.
The meeting between the reality star and sitting President apparently went well. The Commander-in-Chief posted the following tweet shortly thereafter, affirming the “greatness” of the gathering.

Likewise, Kim Kardashian West posted a few tweets of her own. First, she thanked President Trump for his time. The reality star then expressed her hope that the President will eventually decide in favor of her appeal to pardon Alice Marie Johnson.
I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.
