good on kanye. trump is an idiot savant and has very limited information on most issues, lots of his policies or ideas come from just his reaction to whoever he spoke to last or a bitter response to randomly watching the news. as such, why do we want the only people influencing him to be bannon types?



kanye has the ability to go meet him and trump having a black celeb who is adored by the press onside hugely flatters his fragile ego and makes him more likely to follow his advice. he probably sees him as a fellow maverick. so next year when paul ryan comes to trump with a bill that decimates public education in order to hand trillions to private companies, there's way more chance of trump telling ryan to go away after having this ego-boosting chat with kanye about inner city schools and teachers than if he had simply avoided it all to protect his personal reputation like all the boring slick pr polished celebs.
