Just when you thought the story of right-wing conservatives flocking to Kanye West couldn't get more complicated, President Donald Trump thanked the hip-hop star on Twitter for his recent support.
"You don't have to agree with Trump but the mob can't make me not love him," West tweeted Wednesday morning. "We are both dragon energy. He is my brother."
You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

For those who aren't caught up on the social media drama, West returned to Twitter and Instagram last week after deleting his accounts for unknown reasons last year. At first, the rapper posted about typical Kanye things (fashion, music, musings), but then things got much more political. On Saturday, he sent a tweet supporting conservative commentator Candace Owens, who has been particularly vocal about her distaste for the Black Lives Matter movement.
Comedian Akilah Hughes summed up the backlash perfectly in a tweet that referenced West's highly public criticism of President George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina.
Kanye doesn’t care about black people.

Getting support from conservative figureheads Alex Jones and Scott Adams was one thing, but earlier Wednesday, Kanye posted tweets trumpeting his MAGA-ness, as well as expressing a little Excel hate.
