Donald Trump’s meeting with one of the US’s most prominent racists came as a result of the plans and schemes of Milo Yiannopoulos, a disgraced ex-Breitbart News editor who now appears to be running the 2024 politcal efforts of rapper Kanye West.
Mr West, who changed his name to “Ye” before sparking an ugly custody battle with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, set off a political firestorm this week after he met with Mr Trump at the latter’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Joining him (and causing the scandal of the meeting to multiply exponentially) was white nationalist leader Nick Fuentes, a vocal racist and antisemite.
