Trump Isn't MAGA Enough Anymore, Say Kanye-Curious Extremists

THE FALLOUT FROM the ill-fated Mar-a-Lago dinner date between Donald Trump, the antisemite Ye, and the young white nationalist Nick Fuentes is exposing a schism between the MAGA faithful and even-further-right extremists who think the time may have come time to embrace a new Dear Leader.

Ye, fresh off his cancellation for making virulently antisemitic remarks — which cost him his deals with Adidas, the Gap, and his talent agency, among other lucrative contracts — has apparently tired of handing out “White Lives Matter” t-shirts on Skid Row, and is now flirting with a run for the presidency.

The prospect of the rapper campaigning against Trump from the right is bringing glee to the deplorables set. They see Ye as — if not a viable candidate — a political force that could keep Trump from drifting away from the extremes as he prepares for electoral combat with Florida’s anti-woke governor, Ron DeSantis. In his own recap of his Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump, for example, Ye claims he pressed Trump: “Why, when you had the chance, did you not free the Jan. 6-ers?”

Politically, Ye appears to hit a sweet spot for extremists, combining America First politics, Christian nationalism, and naked discrimination against Jewish people. Ye — in a video that made the rounds on Telegram over the weekend — paints himself as a reluctant political leader: “I’m constantly looking to see if someone could do the job better than me. I just haven’t found anybody yet,” he said. He then criticized Trump for a lack of piety. “Trump would be a great president, but he’s gotta put God first in everything he does. God first. Then America,” Ye said, adding a pregnant pause before continuing, pointedly: “Then Israel.”
