Related: About this forumTrump Is Privately Raging About Kanye West For Trying To 'F Him' - Ring of Fire
According to reports this week, Donald Trump is may be playing it cool on the surface about his ill-fated dinner with Kanye West and downplaying what happened, but behind the scenes he is raging uncontrollably. One report said that Trump angrily shouted that Kanye was trying to "f*ck him" and his campaign, and that may not be an inaccurate statement. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the behind-the-scenes drama at Mar-a-Lago.

This week prior to, by the way, uh, Kanye West's appearance on Alex Jones show on Thursday. Before that happened, Donald Trump had been fuming to AIDS behind the scenes at Malago about Kanye West ranting and raving about him. And at one point said, according to an aide, and here's a language warning for you, just in case he tried to me. He's crazy. He can't beat me. Um, listen, this happened, as I said, prior to Kanye West showing up in a full, you know, hooded mask, uh, looking like a Batman villain on Alex Jones show, where he said, I like Nazis. You know, Hitler did good things. Um, which of course, shocked the country, shocked a lot of right wingers. Well, hell, it shocked Alex Jones. He wasn't even prepared for Kanye West to say that, but he did. And the reason I'm bringing that up again, even though Trump's comments came before that, is honestly, it kind of vindicates what Donald Trump is saying here, right?
I mean, I hate to give Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt. I hate to say that, Hey, the dude's right? But I don't know. It's kind of starting to look like this whole thing might have been planned to try to make Trump look worse. I don't know. I, I don't really think that, right? But part of me kind of thinks that maybe there's a real possibility that this is what happened. Kanye West is, is suffering from some kind of issue, right? I I, I think we can all kind of be in agreement on that. I know at least I am. Maybe you have a different opinion, but that's my opinion. Like, there's, there's something wrong at this point. You don't just go from being a totally normal person and then a couple, you know, within the last couple years, you embrace all this antisemitism, all of this racism.
I, I, I don't buy it. I mean, look, con, Kanye West has obviously never been one to shy away from having an outburst that made the media all the way back to 2004 with the George W. Bush Doesn't care about black people. Remark, you know, the VMAs interrupting Taylor Swift, all of that, like this is fitting within his personality, but the behavior itself, right? The topics, that's what's gone super extreme. So I do think something has happened. I don't think he tried to, as Trump said, him. Um, I, I hope he's speaking, you know, rhetorically and not literally, but I, I do think Kanye West needs help, you know, more than just mocking and ridiculing him. This is a man who we're watching, having a very public, uh, mental
Health crisis. And he deserves help. He needs help. But at the same time, Donald Trump probably needs to do a better job of deciding who he wants to sit down with. Just because somebody is famous doesn't mean that that's somebody you need to be photographed with having a nice little dinner. But that's on you because you'll do anything for attention, and you got the attention this time. It's just not the kind of attention that you were really hoping for.
