Kanye West praises Trump and Twitter rebels
9 million are the followers that the famous rapper/designer has lost in a few ... tweets
April 27th, 2018
After his return on Twitter, having announced his philosophy book and the release of two albums, Kanye West, loved, acclaimed and respected, takes a "false" step for the web world. And when the world rebels only one figure can hide behind all this: Donald Trump.
"You can not stop loving him".
Wrote the artist in a post on Twitter and it was the chaos. Within a few hours K lost 9 million followers, going from 27.8 to 18.9 million, an exorbitant peak but above all detrimental not only for his notoriety but especially for the profits.
Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://t.co/vRIC87M21X

Not surprisingly, Mr West has a solid career as a designer (the word Yeezy should remember you something), so it is very likely that after these statements, and after the renowned resentment by younger generations for the current president, his earnings and his popularity can collapse in a matter of months.
You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

Last October, the #GrabYourWallet movement was created specifically to boycott the Ivanka Trump label and also the retailers who favored the spread of these products. There is a risk that this may also happen to Kim's husband if, with determination and disinterest, he will decide to continue to spread thoughts and affectionate phrases for one of the most criticized men of our day.
Currently adidas has not yet released any comment, no retailer has come forward to renounce Yeezy. The people most dear to Kanye reassure fans shocked by the almost maniacal nature of his posts and others support the rapper in spite of political differences.
I tweeted the John text to show that there are people around me that disagree with me and voice their opinion. I respect everyone's opinion but I stand my ground.

Now when he spoke out about Trump... Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine

He never said he agrees with his politics
We just have to wait and hope (and maybe evaluate a probable lowering of Yeezy prices). Meanwhile, Trump continues to create problems ... "armed with Tweet".
