Twitter Users Are Having Fun With Kanye West’s Pro-Trump Tweetstorm

Kanye West has been having a week. He returned to Twitter, swiftly reminding everyone why he probably shouldn’t be on Twitter. On Tuesday, he tweeted about firing his manager, saying, “I no longer have a manager. I can’t be managed. I’m nobody’s ‘client’.” On Wednesday, he was reminded that he still has a manager of sorts, when his wife Kim Kardashian made him tweet a clarification about one of his pro-Trump tweets. Trump also responded to Kanye on Twitter, because we live in the dumbest timeline.

Amid the MAGA tweeting — which seems to have cost him a lot of followers (including friends and family) — Kanye also promoted his upcoming projects, which is one way to hype your work, we guess. He also inspired Jordan Peele to tweet about Get Out 2, so at least we’re getting good jokes out of this. Other people on Twitter have also been making jokes about Kanye’s tweets, starting with the obvious Hurricane Katrina references:

Kanye and Trump have something in common neither seems to have quite recovered from: being humiliated in public by Barack Obama.

Kanye is the only rapper who would cry if he lost a board game.

Trump has tweeted TWICE today about Kanye West and yet nary a word on the Hamburglar, who has yet to be brought to justice

Kanye even tweeted about the creepy Dilbert guy, which led to a lot of people wondering what other questionable influences he might glom onto next.

The Kanye x Dilbert clothing line is just gonna be like $600 t-shirts that say “DIVORCED” on them

kanye is just going through the same thing that notch did (having too much money and too much time and falling into a k-hole of parasocial youtube reactionaries who reinforce his fantasies)

Kanye is going to discover new right wing internet personalities we haven’t even heard of, with names like Based Apple Store Man and Epic Biodiversity Grandma

I have to give kanye credit – he went from “maybe I’ll rejoin twitter” to full “the thought police are trying to silence me!” in like 36 hours. for most people that takes months, if not years

kanyes next album is going to have a kid rock guest spot and pitchfork will still give it an 8.5 while calling it "characteristically uneven"

His tweets garnered him some surprising new fans:

But he seems to have lost more fans than he gained, including Mary:

Please, please, please let me never turn into a person who needs publicity so badly that I endorse racism, misogyny, homophobia, corruption and self-loathing.

one of my favorite rappers is prepping their Pulitzer Prize speech. the other is relaxing after dominating the Coachella stage. the other is… well, I don’t know what Ghostface is doing. what is for sure is none of them are using their platforms to normalize modern fascism.

Wow, I can’t believe Kanye likes a rich guy with megalomania and an inferiority complex
