Kanye West silent when US talk show host asks why he thinks Trump cares about black people

Can you explain how? It literally describes what happened on the show. He was asked the question and Kanye was silent. What you mean is reporting facts about Trump and Trump supporters always makes them look bad, so it must be biased, which is showing your bias against facts.

Who really cares why Kanye West likes Trump! From what Ive seen of KW Im not sure the he is that bright, which of course makes it easier to follow a fool like Trump. Im sorry my comment is not kind, but its just an observation!

Probably the one who has a bigger opinion of his own importance. No, that wont work.

Kanye is more delusional and egomaniacal than 100 trumps.

This will be fun:- Black unemployment at the end of Obamas presidency was 7.8%- Obama inherited a $1trillion debt from GW, with the economy losing 800,000 jobs per month- And get this: The CNN graphic was actually altered to show trumps popularity at 50% (the correct figure is 40%), compared to Obama at 45% and then tweeted by the Reddit loonies. And what did Don Jr do? Retweeted it. You can even see the 40% outline underneath the 50%.The CNN comparison was still relatively early in Obamas presidency. He was still picking over GWs nightmare. Remember he had 75 consecutive months of job growth from mid 2010 and by the end unemployment had dropped from 10% to 4.7%You really, really, really need to do some better fact checking before you post. Of maybe dont quote fake facts?

Obama inherited the Global Financial Crisis.Trump inherited 8 years of Obamas governance.

it was directly related to the article and summarised the major point. How could that possibly be biased. It reported a fact. At least you didnt say it was fake news.

Heres another verified stat:The number of employed black Americans rose by 354,000 in the first 11 months under Trump. But that rise is dwarfed by the gains in the previous three years: 541,000 in 2016, 767,000 in 2015 and 710,000 in 2014.Funny that.

My American mate Jim, who prefers to be called James, is an ardent Trump supporter. No question of his loyalty. Completely incoherent though when you start talking actual policies and actual facts. What we get is fake news, Mueller is a criminal and other info wars nonsense. Sad.

Yep. I have US relatives who are trump supporters. I used to be able to speak to them pretty normally but its changed. Its all 99.9% of the MSM is fake. Only read Drudge.Ive given up basically.

Your reply is the essence of what it means to be a Trump apologist!You use words as if they have no meaning to voice an opinion thats unsupported by facts or logic. Kanye **was** silent when asked what makes him think Trump cares about blacks at all. Reporting that isnt biased - its a fact. You might be able to offer a reason for your opinion by saying how thats biased, but that would require some sort of a logical explanation, and as usual, none has so far been forthcoming.

No, DIngDong, you think trump was elected because Ma & Pa Ketle in deepest, darkest Tennessee said Oh, that Obama - what a shocking foreign policy hack he was?No, they said That Obama, black president, we cant have that anymore. Obama, hes a Muslim, right? Sent to us from Hell to destroy the Christian nation.Im NOT kidding.

Matthew you obviously did understand. You gave me answers. Thank you.- Strong economy: Yep. But youre just like every other trump supporter. This began in 2010 and continued all the way through Obamas presidency. The problem with trumps economic policies are that tariffs and the tax cuts (adding $1trillion+ to the deficit) are going to wreck it in the medium/long term. Bailing out farmers to the tune of $12 billion? Why?- NK peace talks: give me a break. Which talks? US intelligence has confirmed nuclear developments are still occurring. Kim is just doing the same as every other NK regime has done - lying through their teeth.- Balancing trade: I dont understand this one. NAFTA is going nowhere, TPPA - trump actually wanted back into this and the other nations said stuff off; the EU have just signed the biggest free trade deal in history - with Japan. All trump has done is go back to the status quo with the EU, theres no trade deal- And finally, the far left. Who would this be? There sure is a far right whos killing (not just hurting) the world though.

Reading these comments, It amazes me how easily and quickly some people are sucked into the vortex of Trump et. ... I guess their philosophy must be 1; if you keep telling people how good you are, theyll begin to believe it...

Posting or non-posting seems fairly haphazard to me. Ive had perfectly neutral and benign posts simply not show up on plenty of occasions.

Like what? Can you be specific? Youve mentioned in a post above about the etc, etc. Now youre basically doing the same.

He was a law professor with no acumen for business. Really - So compare the state of the US economy when Obama was elected and where it was when Trump took over. From the biggest recession since the 30s and expensive wars draining the economy into a continuous positive movement in jobs and business pick-up as well as saving crucial industries. This improvement has continued well into Trumps presidency, which of course he has taken absolute credit for. History will rate Obamas business acumen much higher than you do.

The only trouble with your analysis is that the current booming world economy has come about despite the Trump presidency, not because of it. Trumps claims are tantamount to turning up at the hen house, making a lot of clucking noises, and then taking credit for all of the eggs laid.
