He didn't vote, but if he had, it would have been for Trump, because...well, "life."



West appeared in the lobby a short time later with Trump to pose for the cameras. The president-elect said the two men had been friends “a long time” and that they discussed “life.”

In response to questions about the meeting, West said only that he “just wanted to get a picture right now.”

It’s worth mentioning, given the time Trump allotted to his meeting with West, that the president-elect has not held a full-blown press conference since July. Presidents-elect usually hold a press conference a few days after the election, but there is no indication Trump will do that. On Monday, his team postponed a press conference scheduled for this week that was meant to address potential conflicts of interest over his business because, they said, he needed more time.

West has mentioned politics in the past, saying earlier this year he intended to run for president in 2020.

...that's why he was there.

Performing at the inauguration would be a bad career move, but in a career filled with them, what's one more bad move?
