Kanye West stopped by Trump Tower on Tuesday during his trip to New York City.

The rapper voiced his support for President-elect Donald Trump at multiple concerts after the election but said he did not vote.

The hip-hop star — who was recently hospitalized for over a week following an alarming nervous breakdown — jetted to Manhattan on Monday in hopes of finding a psychiatrist to add to his medical team, TMZ reports.

Hell, I'm no Kanye fan, but I'd rather have him as Sec. of State over this Tillerson character.

Or Gary Busey, for that matter...has he been suggested for any role in the new administration yet?

Just like Altman's "Nashville" (1975): popular artist has a breakdown and politician cynically exploits that situation by getting that artist to perform for his campaign.

If Kanye is the big star for the inauguration? Trump promises them an all-white America . . . are the Angry Aryans on tour or something? (a real band by the way)
