Donald Trump’s President bid is in damage control after dined with a renowned white supremacist and Kanye West ‘Ye’
At Trump’s Florida Estate, the former U.S. President has admitted to hosting ‘Ye’ but denies inviting far-right commentator Nick Fuentes.
Fuentes is known for spreading racial hate speech, and denying the holocaust.

According to Trump, Fuentes was Ye’s dinner guest, but insists he didn’t know who he was.
“So I help a seriously troubled man, who just happens to be black Ye (Kanye West), who had been decimated in his business and virtually everything else, and who had always been good to me, by allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, alone, so that I can give him very much needed ‘advice.’
He shows up with 3 people, two of which I didn’t know.”

It follows a turbulent time for ‘Ye’ following anti-semitic comments he made about the Jewish community.
Many are saying the dinner was an unusual move for Trump, as he endeavours to return to President in 2024.
However, The White House has condemned the meeting amid a deeply divisive political landscape in America.
To my friend Donald Trump, you are better than this. Even a social visit from an antisemite like Kanye West and human scum like Nick Fuentes is unacceptable. I urge you to throw those bums out, disavow them and relegate them to the dustbin of history where they belong. 1/
