Rapper Kanye West recently visited President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where he wore a "Make America Great Again" hat and said "I love this guy" as he embraced the commander-in-chief.
But! His wife, reality-TV star Kim Kardashian West, says that her husband's politics and support for Trump have been "misconstrued" and that he "just happens to like Donald Trump's personality, but doesn't know about the politics."
Kardashian offered some serious spin of West's public displays of Trumpism at a Wednesday-night event focused on criminal justice reform - a cause she's advocated for - in which she was interviewed onstage by CNN commentator Van Jones. Kardashian said West is "not the best communicator" and that what he says in private is very different from how he is publicly interpreted.
Jones joked that Kardashian was being a "Kanye translator," to which she responded: "He does need a translator. For real."
So it seems that this is the Kanye-to-English decoded message: West's visit to the Oval Office wasn't a show of support for Trump's policies (which she says West doesn't know about), but for the "freedom" to like a guy even though he isn't popular among his friends.
