Nearly a year-and-a-half after their infamous meeting of the minds at Trump Tower following the 2016 presidential election, rapper Kanye West and President Donald Trump appear to have reunited following a series of tweets in which the artist openly endorsed the president. Twitter, as is their custom, is completely losing it as West goes full MAGA.

One user mused that Trump-supporting West has “gotta be a clone” of the man who criticized then-President George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina for not caring about black people.

BuzzFeed News’ Darren Sands, meanwhile, found a surprising similarity between the two men: that they were both “humiliated in public by Barack Obama” and don’t appear to have “recovered” from it.

Kanye and Trump have something in common neither seems to have quite recovered from: being humiliated in public by Barack Obama.

Keith Boykin, a former Obama White House staffer and current CNN commentator, noted that Trump’s use of West’s views, which are “non-representative” of African Americans as a group, is part of “a long history dating back to slavery” and that he’s doing so “to justify the policies of white supremacy.”

There’s a long history dating back to slavery of white racists using the words of unrepresentative black figures to justify the policies of white supremacy. Trump’s invocation of Kanye West continues that legacy.

Kanye is using Twitter exactly how Trump did during the 2016 election:

Erratic, outrageous and often confusing bursts of Tweets that drive the national discourse.
