Having recovered from a brief mental breakdown and stint in the hospital, Kanye West arrived at Trump Tower this morning, the headquarters of President-elect Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is at work filling positions for his cabinet as president of the United States, and currently needs to fill vacancies for Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Interior, U.S. Trade Representatives, and advisors on the economy and budget.
West, a Chicago rapper who didn't vote but expressed his support for Trump after the election, would be more than qualified for any of these positions—especially considering Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Betsy DeVos, and Andrew Puzder have already been given key positions in the administration.
While it's not clear why West is in the tower today, he is currently meeting with Trump. West and the President-elect shared this physical exchange, which is not awkward at all.
Having been turned down by many of his first choices, Trump is also seeking musicians to perform at his Jan. 20 inauguration. When asked what their meeting was about, Trump told reporters that they've been friends for a very long time and were just discussing life. Kanye, when pressed about his own 2020 presidential run and performing at the inauguration, told reporters that he was only there to take a picture. Then entire thing is exceedingly uncomfortable.
Mike Pence was also at Trump Tower today, but no one seemed to know or care.
