Trump thanks Kanye for helping his poll numbers with black people
The Yeezy-Trump saga continues.
President Trump praised Kanye West during his NRA speech on Friday after a series of tweets from the rapper apparently resulted in a spike in the president's poll numbers among black men.
"Kanye West must have some power, because you probably saw, I doubled my African-American poll numbers. We went from 11 to 22 in one week, thank you, Kanye," Trump said, apparently referring to a recent Reuters poll showing a spike in support from black men.
"When I saw the numbers I said that must be a mistake, how did that happen?"
West showered praise on the president in a series of tweets in recent weeks.
