Kanye West unwavering support for Donald Trump continues to baffle. After going on a Pro-Trump fartes while wearing a MAGA hat at the end of Saturday S.N.L. many of his colleagues are trying publicly to make sense of it, including Chris Evans.
On Sunday, West tweeted a picture of himself on a private plane wearing his favorite red cap, with the caption beginning: "That's good."
Evans re-tweeted the photo and added his own thoughts:
Evans was not alone in his frustration. Lana del Rey, that occurred at West's wedding for Kim Kardashian, also expressed his criticism in a comment on Instagram:
"Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country but your support for it is a loss for culture," she wrote. "I can only assume that you are referring to his personality on a certain level. Illusions of greatness, extreme problems with narcissism – none of them would be a topic of discussion if we did not talk about the man running our country. If you think that it is appropriate to support a person who believes that it is OK to catch a woman by the cat just because he is famous, it requires an intervention as important as his, which so many narcissists will not get never because there is not enough help to solve the problem. Message sent with a concern that will never be addressed. "
In April, when West's affinity for the president was still new, confused, and well documented in a series of Twitter posts, John legend he had contacted by text, which West had then tweeted.
"I hope you will reconsider your alignment with Trump," Legend wrote. "You are too powerful and influential to approve who he is and what he stands for. As you know, what you say really means something to your fans. . . . So many people who love you feel betrayed right now because they know the harm caused by Trump's policy. Do not let this be part of your heritage. "
Supporters and celebrities have expressed frustration with West, but up to now, his alignment with conservative politics has had little consequence. Many of his rappers are always ready to work with him, people still download his music and he always reserves concerts like S.N.L.– and maybe even be welcomed after the fact.
While West does not seem to be about to change its polarization policy anytime soon, this has not stopped people from trying to join it – whether in vain or not.
