Why would anyone be shocked that when they make plans with noted anti-Semite Kanye West, he might bring along someone similarly, if not more, disgusting? And if only Trump had a staff and security who could spend literal seconds on a public search engine to vet this person…

More amazing are the endless excuses for Trump his supporters come up with.
Why would someone be surprised that the Black guy showed up with the White supremacist?
Because that’s surprising…



Let’s not all act like Kanye West is all of the sudden predictable…
Racists with black “friends” is like the oldest trope in the book. What’s surprising about that? Is him being unpredictable not all the more reason to personally or have staff do a 30 second Google search on whatever random people he’s bringing by?

And again, that’s assuming you believe that he didn’t know who he was. As WellPreserved noted, he said the same thing about David Duke, when he absolutely knew who he was, and other GOP politicians have said the same thing about Fuentes after associating with him.

Still nothing from Trump denouncing Fuentes’ repulsive views now that he knows what they are.
Because Kanye wouldn’t be a racist with Black friends, he’d be a Black man who is a White suprematist.

Not super predictable there.

Trump shouldn't have invited Kanye West and West should not have invited Fuentes to stir up more shit because that part of this story is his fault.
There is a lot of crossover between AFPAC (Fuentes' organization), Turning Point (Charlie Kirk) and the House Freedom Caucus. It's almost impossible to be supportive of any of them without getting dirty.

But I agree with you on why in the world would Trump invite Ye who had just announced his candidacy two days prior with Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager! IMO, he's trying to maintain his base which appears to be fracturing and is playing "all sides" in order to do so. He's kind of failing at it.

No, he’s a person with abhorrent views hanging out with someone else who has abhorrent views. Pretty predictable.

Either way, that argument assumes Trump actually had no idea who he was, or would have cared and not had dinner with someone who flatters him because of those abhorrent views.

Saying you can do one better just sounds like either of the men he had dinner with are impressive. You do Trump one better every day of the week not having dinner with these two men.

10 years from now Trump will publish a book titled “How I single handed dismantled the GOP and built a “better” party”

My brother was friends with him. He built his house and they hit it off.

That is really super cool. He’s one person I don’t think I could meet and not fangirl over 😂.
