It’s election season and rumors will swirl along with some tales that may have quite a bit of truth to them. In this case Alyssa Farah Griffin, co-host of “The View” and former Trump administration staffer, shared a surprising little story on Tuesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” When asked by a guest, “What was the wildest thing that you still cannot believe came across your desk when you were special assistant to Trump in the White House?” Griffin responded:
“This is gonna be dark.”
In fairness anything that involves Trump and Kanye these days is pretty dark. Just sayin.
She replayed the experience:
“One day, [Trump] wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country. And I can think of few things less unifying than that. We were like, ‘Not the time or place, sir.’”
Get this, Griffin didn’t specify the exact timing of this proposal, but it likely occurred after West founded his Sunday Service Choir in September 2019, when he and his gospel choir performed across the country. So basically he was poppin’ and Trump thought he could repurpose Kanye’s wave. Weird.
West and Trump’s relationship has been tumultuous, a bromance and outright crazy all rolled into one.
West initially supported Trump but distanced himself during his own presidential campaign. After the 2020 election, West returned to supporting Trump. However, their relationship soured again in 2022 when West made antisemitic remarks, actually disgusting bigoted remarks prompting Trump to call him “a seriously troubled man” – ain’t that rich coming from him – following a controversial dinner at Mar-a-Lago, which West attended with Holocaust-denier Nicholas Fuentes. West even claimed he asked Trump to be his vice president, which Trump declined.
Despite these ups and downs, ha, West and Trump appear to be on good terms once more. Isn’t that cute?
When asked in February if he was supporting Trump for president again, West replied, “Yeah, of course, it’s Trump all day.” Let’s be honest, they are obviously made for each other.
