Trump Confirms Mar-a-Lago Dinner with Kanye West and Nick Fuentes; Accuses West of Bringing Uninvited Guest “I Had Never Met and Knew Nothing About”

President Trump confirmed to Axios reporter Jonathan Swan on Friday that he had dinner this week with old friend Kanye West and anti-Semite groyper leader Nick Fuentes, telling Swan that he did not know of Fuentes and that West had brought him to Mar-a-Lago uninvited.

West, who also calls himself Ye, has been in hot water over several anti-Semitic remarks he recently made. Fuentes is a notorious anti-Semite and Holocaust denier.

Swan reported on Twitter, “NEW: Statement from fmr President Trump in response to our story about his dinner w Ye and Fuentes: “Kanye West very much wanted to visit Mar-a-Lago. Our dinner meeting was intended to be Kanye and me only, but he arrived with a guest whom I had never met and knew nothing about.””

The story of Fuentes visiting Mar-a-Lago with West Tuesday night was first reported by Politico on Wednesday,”According to a source, far-right extremist Nick Fuentes was spotted with Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago. West tweeted last night he met with Trump at the club. West and Fuentes were also seen together at Miami airport.”

A source initially denied to the Daily Beast that Trump dined with Fuentes, “A source familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast that while West had dinner with Trump, Fuentes was not present.”

West posted video commentary about his visit with Trump, claiming Trump was “really impressed with Nick Fuentes.”

The video features Ye advisor Milo Yiannopoulos who was filmed in 2016 singing America the Beautiful while white supremacist audience members gave the Nazi salute.

West earlier claimed in his visit he asked Trump to be his vice presidential running mate for the 2024 campaign (Trump announced his own bid for the presidency last week), “First time at Mar-a-Lago Rain and traffic Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting And I had on jeans Yikes What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?”

On Thursday West posted a screen image of group chat about his and Fuentes’ meeting with Trump.

Ye bringing jeans to the meeting with Trump turned out to be the least objectionable he brought.
