I miss the old Kanye. The it all falls down, George Bush hates black people, Beyoncé-stan, Kanye. Now, we’re left with the MAGA-hat wearing, publicity-stunt loving, mediocre music-making Kanye. Ah, where has the old Kanye gone?

West performed on Saturday Night Live last weekend, and boy was it in cringeworthy. Dressed in a white sweat suit and a MAGA hat, Kanye reportedly gave a pro-Trump speech following his performance that SNL that did not air on television.

“So many times I talk to a white person and [they] say, ‘How could you like Trump, he’s racist?’” Kanye said during the remark, “Well, if I was concerned about racism, I would have moved out of America a long time ago.”

Thought it couldn’t get any worse? Wrong. Donald Trump even took to Twitter to applaud West for performance and support:

Like many, I don’t watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told “no”), was great. He’s leading the charge!

By no means is Kanye expected to be an academic or expert of political fairs. However, his continued support of Donald Trump, and tweets that show he desperately needs to read a book or look up on some history, we can’t help but be disappointed and quite frankly over his fuckin’ antics. Kanye doubled down on his Trump support after the performance, making a tweet about the 13th amendment that left many fans baffled.

this represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love pic.twitter.com/a15WqI8zgu

Um, the 13th amendment abolished slavery, Kanye.

Check out some Twitter responses to Kanye’s absolute madness:

There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying. https://t.co/4jCFwB4T5U

The 13th ammendment abolished slavery. Re-upping this from the last time: @ye is truly an idiot. Message sent with distaste for idiocy. https://t.co/d0BNi45Zm8

I’m consciously choosing to tweet about plant-based burgers and not current statements about the 13th Amendment from a certain MAGA follower. Respectfully, please don’t @ me. I can’t do nothing for him. pic.twitter.com/NX2Vphaz9m

Trump and Kanye have a lot in common, actually. Both believe they are far more gifted than they actually are. Both are known to deliver rambling, nonsensical speeches. And both profess to love someone named Kim.

What do you think of Yeezy’s outbursts?
