Kanye West has fully embraced his identity as a Donald Trump supporter, it seems, and keeps cartoon the ire and attention of social media users with his "new ideas."
Kanye appeared on "TMZ" for an interview in which he made some incendiary comments about slavery. "When you lot hear about slavery for 400 years … For 400 years? That sounds like a selection," Kanye said. "You were there for 400 years and information technology's all of y'all. It's like we're mentally imprisoned."
Social media users immediately (and hilariously) latched onto the comments, and Kanye took to Twitter as well, to double-down on the comments.

"The reason why I brought up the 400 years point is considering we tin't exist mentally imprisoned for another 400 years," Kanye wrote in a tweet. "We need free thought now. Even the argument was an case of complimentary thought It (sic) was just an idea."
"One time once more I am beingness attacked for presenting new ideas," Kanye wrote in some other tweet. Of course, many Twitter users pointed out that the idea of slavery existence a choice wasn't really a new idea, but 1 long held by white supremacists to, uh, justify slavery.
Fifty-fifty better, though, were the memes that Kanye's quote spawned. Twitter users immediately began imagining who else might say something like, "Once again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas." Pretty much the commencement person everyone landed on? Thanos (Josh Brolin), the large purple supervillain from the freshly released "Avengers: Infinity State of war."

"Star Wars: The Concluding Jedi" villain Kylo Ren definitely falls into the "angry about existence attacked for new ideas" camp.
Thanos, of course, can't go anywhere without being ambushed past a group of superfolk. And then much for the tolerant universe.

-
Lincoln, of form, is famously the start Republican president, although the party has changed significantly, both geographically and ideologically, from when it was started in 1854.

4. On His Balloter College Victory
Since winning the 2016 presidential election, Trump and his team take repeatedly called the win "the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan." It wasn't.

Trump and his surrogates have maintained he had the biggest inauguration crowd in history, citing both the people on the ground at the National Mall in Washington D.C., and watching on Boob tube and online. "When I looked at the numbers that have come up in from all of the various sources, we had the biggest audience in the history of inaugural speeches," Trump told ABC News. Going by the crowd and TV numbers, though, Trump'south inauguration crowd was definitely not the biggest e'er.

Nielsen ratings for the inauguration put TV viewership at about 31 million, or 19 percentage fewer than the number who tuned in for Obama's inauguration in 2009, The Contained reports. And a PBS timelapse video shows the National Mall was never full during the unabridged event, while shots of Obama's inaugurations bear witness the mall packed. Trump'south inauguration might make up the difference with online streaming viewers, only those numbers aren't known to the public or the media.

He was really angry that he saw with regard to the Ceremonious War, he said 'There'due south no reason for this.'" Jackson, of course, died in 1845 — sixteen years before the Civil State of war began.

Trump took to Twitter to clarify his comments on Jackson. "President Andrew Jackson, who died xvi years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let information technology happen!" In fact, Jackson, a slave possessor, probably would have fallen on the Confederacy'southward pro-slavery side.

7. On the Civil War, Why
"People don't realize, yous know, the Civil War, if y'all recollect about it, why?" Trump continued during the aforementioned interview.

They took in large numbers. They're having problems like they never idea possible."
Screen Capture/The Guardian -
Trump later antiseptic the statement, yet again on Twitter. He said he wasn't referring to a news event that happened "last nighttime" in Sweden, but rather, a Trick News story. "My argument every bit to what's happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden," he wrote.
Twitter -
x. On being treated the most unfairly
Delivering a speech to the graduating form at the U.Due south. Coast Guard Academy, Trump said, "No politician in history, and I say this with bang-up surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."

Maybe he means he's been "unfairly" given more passes on bad beliefs, similar admitting sexual assail, than any other politician.

12. On the Panama Culvert
In a coming together with Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, Trump seemed to kind of, sort of accept credit for the Panama Canal. "The Panama Culvert is doing quite well. I think we did a skilful job edifice it, right — a very proficient task," Trump said, to which Varela answered, "Yeah, about 100 years agone." While what Trump meant by "we" was probably "the U.s.," as Varela'south comment suggests, there's withal an air of Trump glomming on to past accomplishments that had aught to do with him.

13. On how much legislation he'south signed

One thing about Trump'due south administration that he claimed wasn't historic was his approval rating after six months in office.

16. On the Pulse nightclub shooting
Every bit role of his push confronting gun control in the wake of the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Trump has advocated for arming teachers and others to stop mass shootings.

Trump wasn't wrong that the White House was burned down in the War of 1812 -- that did happen. Blaming Canada doesn't make a ton of sense, though. Information technology was British troops that burned down the White Firm, since the U.S. was at war with England for the two-yr conflict. Canada was a colony at the fourth dimension, and then was pulled into the state of war. A lot of information technology was as well fought in Canada.

"I retrieve when you come up to sarin gas, there was no -- he was not using the gas on his own people the aforementioned fashion that Assad is doing," Spicer said. "I mean, at that place was clearly, I understand your point, thank you. Cheers, I appreciate that. There was not in the, he brought them into the Holocaust middle, I understand that."
