Kanye is trying to change the concept of "make America great again" into in his opinion something equal. He states he wears the red hat to change the meaning into something in his direction.

I think what Kanye is doing makes sense because i feel like he does want to help the people of the US and he is making it clear right now so when he runs for president the people will know he was trying to help since Trump was in office.

This article explains what goes on in the song. It talks about Kanye West's political views. He gives support to Pres Obama and also talks about his presidential ambitions.

It's Kanye West opinion to support Trump but at the same time he may not know what is going on in america but in my opinion I think Kayne West is scare because he doesn't want to get beat up by racist people and he may not want to also get beat up by police, it's like people of their own race are betray their own race to be racist and also to be tough, but for me they sold out their selfs just like Kayne West did.

I believe that Kanye is trying to change the way people see trump a a president and he is telling what he think through his song Ye vs the people. In the song it states " Make America great again had a negative perception, I took it i wore it, rocked it, gave it a new direction' ' this shows how people see ''make america great again as a negative thing but kanye is trying to make something positive out of it.

Kanye say's he's just trying to change the aspect of ''Make America great again'' because everyone views it as negative but he wants to change that and put every one's mindset on a different direction then how they see it .

i think Kanye is trying to change the saying "make america great again" into something positive and doesn't support Trump. He probably doing all this to get attention and to promote his song " Ye vs the people"

I feel that kanye is just supporting trump for the clout so that when he runs for president he will get white people to support him and make him eligible to win the election.

I understand everybody has a right of free speech but what kanye is saying he's betraying his own color for a dusty ass president like Donald trump i used to like kanye west now i don't know how i feel about him after he just said all of this i agree with TI as well i believe ti is looking out for the people of color and 40 years of slavery was not a choice it was something we had todo for we won't die

As i read this article it opened my eyes to how Kanye is trying to basically get on white supremacist good side so he can have a chance at becoming president when he tries in 2024.

I feel like Kanye is only trying to get on Trumps' and the Republicans good side so that when he runs for president in 2024, he has their votes so he is being logical.

in my opinion im surprised on what he said on Donald trump and making america great again but about the freedom of speech i go along with it everyone has their opinion on things i wont say nothing at all about it. He thinks that way that him thats fine even though he completely wrong. Maybe kanye west trying to gain more power by using Donald trump.

My opinion on Kanye West's statements is that I completely disagree with his points but I am waiting for him to get to the "punchline" or point for the reason so we can better understand this rant that he is going about. I think he is trying to find a way to bring people together but the way he doing it I completely disagree with the way he is doing it by wearing the "MAGA" hat or saying that trump is his "brother". I disagree on his statement about slavery because it wasn't a choice it was something that was forced upon the slaves weather they liked it or not. The viewpoint of kanye west doesn't change the way how I feel toward his music he is a musical genius and I like it but his views on politics or his thought of slavery is something that I completely disagree on. I hope sooner than later he will reveal the reason or the "punchline' behind his statements because everything that people say has a reason behind you just don't wake up saying these things you to have reasoning behind your thoughts.

In my opinion I think that Kanye is doing all this because he wants the votes for the republican side but also he is doing this too because he wants more money and he wants to lose less money.

Kanye wants to make the saying " Make America Great Again" have a better reputation cause when people hear that they think of Trump doing something negative and not support it but Kanye wants to make it into a good thing instead of something that people hate to hear

I believe that Kanye is doing this for publicity stunt, same thing as to what happen to Taylor Swift. You can not even tell what's real in the internet. He just keeps on filling nonsense on Twitter, if he really want to help the world because he isn't doing anything. Just like Trump, all talk no action. I also believe that he is trying to get more followers when he runs for President if that happens in 2024.

Kanye West is using a MARKETING STRATEGY. He is luring trump supporters (aka colonists aka caucasians) and is also luring hate which would cause people who have disagreements on what his stance is to view his music which is his personality. Why? one might ask. Well kanye loves to be controversial and at the time his album dropped which would bring him more numbers and viola he would be trending on every social media site. The article mainly discussed the topic of Kanye being in alliance with donald the orange duck or being a mastermind and promoting his music through marketing skills that only manipulators and people who know how to be strategic can pull off.

And no I do not mean that Kanye wants to be in alliance he is only using his platform to make it seem like he is in alliance to gain more numbers when he runs for presidency.

In this article Kanye is supporting trump in making america great again and thats his opinion no matter what people say about him. He is trying to make trump look good by being on his side, thats what i think and many people will that kanye is with him and they might start to like trump too. He's try to good for others thats what i think kanye is doing.
