Everyone’s talking about…Kanye on Jimmy Kimmel
Kanye talked love, simulations and Donald Trump.
After a meandering monologue about his support for Trump, Jimmy Kimmel asked Kanye:
Whether we like his personality or not, his actions are really what matter. You so famously and so powerfully said ‘George Bush doesn’t care about black people.’ It makes me wonder, what makes you think that Donald Trump does?
As you can see, Kanye didn’t really have an answer to that…
Kimmel: “You famously said George Bush doesn’t care about Black people. It makes me wonder what makes you think Donald Trump does, or any people at all?”
