Your support makes all the difference.Donald Trump Jr has raved about Kanye West’s new album Jesus Is King, calling the rapper a “pioneer” who’s “cracking the culture code”.
The president’s son tweeted about the album on Monday evening, three days after its release.
“Kanye West is cracking the culture code,” Trump Jr wrote of the rapper, a known Trump supporter.
“@kanyewest’s new album #JesusIsKing is the epitome of fearless creativity and ‘dangerous, unapproved’ ideas.
“Leftists always try to silence those who are speaking truth. They’re waging a war on our family and culture. Kanye is a pioneer.”
West met with Donald Trump a year ago at the White House and has since then continued to affirm his loyalty to the president.
The rapper recently equated his endorsement of Mr Trump to “God’s practical joke to all liberals”.
He has also claimed that black people have been “brainwashed” by Democrats.
