For having dinner this week with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes, a leader of the white nationalist movement and Holocaust denier, former president Donald Trump has drawn harsh criticism.
The former president acknowledged hosting the couple at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, in a post on Truth Social. He minimized the interaction by claiming that the rapper, now going by the name Ye, “unexpectedly turned up with three of his pals, whom I knew nothing about.”
“We had dinner on Tuesday evening with many members present on the back patio. The dinner was quick and uneventful. They then left for the airport,” Trump posted.
Ye sought Trump for business guidance, and the two “get along beautifully,” according to Trump. Ye “expressed no anti-Semitism, and I appreciated all of the kind things he spoke about me on ‘Tucker Carlson,'” the man claimed.
After Adidas severed connections with Ye over his “unacceptable, hateful, and deadly” inflammatory remarks, Ye’s net worth recently dropped sharply by billions of dollars. He regularly makes racist and antisemitic comments online, and earlier this month he tweeted that he intended to “Death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
