It only lasted about as long as an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and now, Kanye West has scrubbed his Twitter account of all evidence pointing to his brief bromance with President Trump.
In December, West — who at one point said if he had voted, it would have been for Trump — met with the then-president-elect in New York City, gamely posing for pictures in the Trump Tower lobby and later tweeting that he felt it was "important to have a direct line of communication with our future president if we truly want change." He also shared that he thought he could influence Trump on "bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago."
TMZ reports that West wasn't happy about several of Trump's recent actions, including his executive order that banned travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, and he swiftly deleted his pro-Trump tweets. RIP, Trump/West's unlikely friendship, 2016-2017.
