Kanye West doubled down on his affection for President Trump in a tweet posted Wednesday afternoon, saying “he is my brother.”
“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him,” the rapper said. “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.”
Over the weekend, Kanye tweeted that he liked the way right-leaning YouTuber Candace Owens thinks — prompting the left to lose its collective mind. He also tweeted out videos of Dilbert cartoonist and Trump apologist Scott Adams who applauded Kanye’s act of free-thinking.
The “Flashing Lights” rapper said that people in his life are split on how they feel about Trump and that he doesn’t tell Hillary Clinton supporters not to support her.
“I love Hillary too,” he tweeted.
If your friend jumps off the bridge you don't have to do the same. Ye being Ye is a fight for you to be you. For people In my life the idea of Trump is pretty much a 50 50 split but I don't tell a Hillary supporter not to support Hillary
I love Hillary too.— ye (@kanyewest) April 25, 2018
He said that he’s not a political person, and encouraged others to think freely and “be afraid of nothing.”
Free thinkers don't fear retaliation for your thoughts. The traditional thinkers are only using thoughts and words but they are in a mental prison. You are free. You've already won. Feel energized. Move in love not fear. Be afraid of nothing.

I love when people have their own ideas. You don't have to be allowed anymore. Just be.
Love who you want to love. That's free thought. I'm not even political. I'm not a democrat or a republican

Kanye said that he did not cast a ballot in the 2016 presidential election, but that if he had, he would’ve cast it in favor of Trump. The rapper who once accused George W. Bush of not caring about black people in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina added that when he is elected president, he will rename the presidential plane “Yeezy Force One.”
when we become president we have to change the name of the plane from Air Force one to Yeezy force one ☝️
