Trump says Kanye West 'performed a great service to the Black Community' by endorsing him

President Donald Trump hailed Kanye West's vocal support after Fox News reported the rapper's tweets.

West lost millions of Twitter followers by sharing a photo of himself wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and saying Trump was his brother -- and the president thanked the rapper and producer again.

"Kanye West has performed a great service to the Black Community - Big things are happening and eyes are being opened for the first time in Decades - Legacy Stuff!" Trump tweeted.

He also celebrated Chance the Rapper for saying that black Americans did not have to vote Democrat, and he name-checked a black Ohio pastor who's been a longtime supporter.

"Thank you also to Chance and Dr. Darrell Scott, they really get it (lowest Black & Hispanic unemployment in history)," the president tweeted.
