Kanye West implies he will vote for Donald Trump in 2020 election

Rapper, Kanye West has implied he will be voting for US President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

The 42-year-old rapper made the declaration in the May issue of GQ magazine, saying: 'We know who I'm voting on... I'm not going to be told by the people around me and the people that have their agenda that my career is going to be over because of it!'

The father of four who has always faced backlash for being an outspoken supporter of Trump told the publication that 'better real estate' is the primary motivation for his decision.

'I buy real estate. It's better now than when Obama was in office. They don't teach you in school about buying property. They teach you how to become somebody's property,' he claimed.

Asked whether he was worried about being an outcast in liberal Hollywood due to his political preferences, West said: 'Celebrities are scared! Celebrities don't have the real voice... What's the point of being a celebrity if you can't have an opinion?'

The controversial rapper also trashed Hillary Clinton's 2016 'I'm With Her' slogan, stating: “I was told my career would end if I wasn’t with [Hillary Clinton]. What kind of campaign is that, anyway?”

West continued. “That’s like if Obama’s campaign was ‘I’m with black.’ What’s the point of being a celebrity if you can’t have an opinion? Everybody make their own opinion! You know?”

'Both my parents were freedom fighters... they didn't fight for me to be told by white people which white person I can vote on!'

West who got himself into trouble for claiming that slavery was 'a choice' in 2018, made several controversial comments on race in his wide-ranging chat with GQ.

'One in three African Americans are enslaved, and we go more crazy if, you know, someone scores a touchdown,' he stated.

'Modern-day mass incarceration is right in front of us, and if I even use the word slavery, I'm treated like I'm a white person talking about slavery.'

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran US President Donald Trump, has vetoed the Iran War Powers resolution agreed by the Senate and House of Representatives, calling it a "very insulting resolution" and argued the move of the Lawmakers was "based on misunderstandings of facts and law" in a statement. The bipartisan resolution was created to limit Trump's authority to use military force against Iran without congressional approval, after the President's decision to order a strike that killed Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in January. Before a resolution is made a law in the US, the Senate, House of Reps have to vote on it, when an agreement is reached it is then sent to the White House for the President to sign. Presidents sometimes veto laws, but the US Senate must have over 2/3rds of votes to override a President's veto, a scenario unlikely to occur. Trump in a statement issued by the ...

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday renewed his widely contested charge that the coronavirus pandemic likely originated in a Chinese laboratory, but acknowledged there was no certainty. Pompeo renewed his call for global pressure on China to provide more data on the origins of the illness, which has killed more than 250,000 people worldwide and hobbled the global economy. “We don’t have certainty, and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory. Those statements can both be true,” the former CIA chief told reporters when pressed on his statements. “The American people remain at risk because we do not know … whether it began in the lab or whether it began someplace else,” he said. “There’s an easy way to find out the answer to that — transparency, openness — the kinds of things that nations do when they really want to be part of solving a global pandemic.” Pompeo ha...
