Trump saw Chance’s tweet as a stamp of approval and thanked him in a tweet.
Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community – Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades – Legacy Stuff! Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Darrell Scott, they really get it (lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in history).

He reiterated that he does not support Trump and never could.
“I’d never support anyone who has made a career out of hatred, racism, and discrimination. I’d never support someone who’d talk about Chicago as if it’s a hell on earth and then take steps to make life harder here for the most disenfranchised among us. I understand why people are disappointed with my words, but I was raised to believe actions speak louder than words,” he said.
He has used his fame to help communities. “Let my apology be seen in my future works, and let me make up for my poorly timed comments with immediate action and advocacy for those who need it most,” he said.
