The mainstream media and Hollywood celebrities slammed Kanye West this week after the fashion designer and Grammy-winner musician took to Twitter to express a very strong love and appreciation for President Trump.
You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. 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.

President Trump responded to West’s tweets:
Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://t.co/vRIC87M21X

Of course, the very positive tweet drew the ire of the mainstream media and other celebrities:
Given that the media’s go-to when West goes off script is “he’s crazy,” that’s exactly where they went.

Look at all the lovely hit pieces by the media on @kanyewest. They always show their true colors when you turn against their bullshit. They’ve always played it this way, they destroy those who don’t stick to the script.#KanyeWest
Let’s start with People flat out lying about West – claiming his family is now in turmoil:
“He’s had huge blow-ups with Kris. She sees how erratic he’s acting and is most concerned about her daughter’s brand. She’s also trying to be a good mother-in-law, so he’s having explosive issues with her too,” a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Everyone is really, really worried.” –People
“Lies,Lies,Lies” shot back Jenner, adding “Nope…not true!”

Kris Jenner✔@KrisJennerWest suggested they were playing themselves, and that they would love a pair of his “Yeezy” brand footwear.
KANYE WEST✔@kanyewestPeople magazine. Watch how you speak my name. You would love a pair of Yeezys. Don’t play yourself.
Based Monitored.@kanyewest walked off the plantation and now they’re trying to destroy him…
With false smears.
Then there’s Page Six reporting “Fears for Kanye’s health emerge” after West tweeted that he fired his manager, Scooter Braun. Check out how this little hit piece begins:
Kanye West canceled 21 tour dates in 2016 after suffering a “nervous breakdown,” but there are new fears for his health after he abruptly fired manager Scooter Braun and a “friend” claimed West had been addicted to opioids. –Page Six
That “friend,” was none other than Hot 97 host Ebro Darden – who told listeners he had spoken with West, who allegedly told him “Nobody really showed love for me when I was addicted to opioids and in the hospital.”
Then Page Six notes that West could be in legal trouble if the 21 canceled tour dates were a result of drug use – as the rapper filed and won a 2017 lawsuit against Lloyd’s of London for $10 million to cover the canceled tour.
Buried in the article, “a source close to West tells Page Six they were “doubtful” he was hospitalized for opioid use and “disappointed” Darden made those claims on-air.”
hes a fucking moron kanye – wake from the illusion

I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can't be blind to the truth.

The defining trait of Trump's campaign and political profile was his embrace of white supremacy. He made it clear every time he spoke. Some serious cognitive dissonance to ignore that for the other x% you might find appealing. I guess I agree with >1% of anyone's thoughts though
