President Donald Trump continued his online lovefest with rapper Kanye West in a tweet Friday morning, including shoutouts to Chance the Rapper and Dr. Darrell Scott, a pastor and member of Trump’s transition team.

Though the affection between Trump and West was made public back in 2016 when West visited Trump Tower after the election, it has been recently reignited by West’s tweetstorm articulating his support for the President.

Scott and Chance the Rapper both posted tweets this week supportive of either the President or West’s autonomy to politically support whomever he chooses.

1. and Ben Carson's proposal to raise rent on low-income Americans under HUD is good for low-income

Americans.

How about allowing States to require proof of work in order to qualify for Medicaid. That has to be good for something, or the dismantling of the EPA, etc. etc. etc.

4. I paid attention to Kanye when

he first became a vocal critic of Dubya. I listened, heard someone with no talent and a huge ego.

5. Sunken place...

Hell with it.. Aside from the famous Katrina outburst, I never liked West anyway

10. Was that a reference to Get Out?

That was a fantastic movie in so many ways.

More on topic, West has always been a little...touched... so this isn't that surprising from him.

A creepy publicity hound.

If Kanye was on our side I'd want him off it.

8. And thanks to Frederick Douglass

He's an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.

Now they love Kanye. Years ago they hated him.
