Hours after Kanye West gave a 10-minute monologue in the Oval Office and had lunch with President Donald Trump, he apparently stormed an Apple Store in the Washington D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown, climbed on top of a table and gave yet another speech before declaring hes leaving for Africa.
Jack Jenkins, national reporter for Religion News Service was there when it happened. According to Jenkins account, West busted into a Washington DC Apple Store Thursday afternoon and asked to give a keynote speech before climbing on a table. It is not actually clear if his table climb was approved by Apple Store staff or if he just did it regardless.

Then, according to Jenkins, West announced he made a hat for Trump that says Make America Great sans the again and that Trump wore it. He explained the again part hurts black people.

On his way out the door, Jenkins reported that West said that hes going to Africa.

Ive been in a relationship with a bipolar person for decades. The condition can be managed successfully with meds.

(62,270 posts)He could come away with it even being more racist against his own race and thinking that African people are where they are because of racist crap (and not because colonialism set back their collective society by decades).

(11,519 posts)Kanye has been so corrupted by money and fame that he's lost touch with reality and sold his fellow black Americans down the road.

(32,084 posts)I'm not saying that as a dig against him. I heard his ranting and raving during his White House visit, and I look at the behavior presented above. He said he is bi-polar. That's pretty obvious, as it looks and sounds like he's in a manic phase right now. The man needs help. Badly.
