President Trump may like Taylor Swift's music 25 percent less now that she has come out in support of Democrats, but his love for Kanye West only seems to be growing stronger.

Trump is scheduled to have lunch with West on Thursday, The New York Times reports. The White House says they'll talk about "manufacturing resurgence in America, prison reform, how to prevent gang violence, and what can be done to reduce violence in Chicago," per NBC News. The Chicago rapper will also meet with senior adviser and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner.
