Kanye West detailed his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump in a series of tweets that ended with "#2024," suggesting that he would postpone his promised presidential run until after a second Trump term.
"I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues," West wrote. "These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."
West met with Trump at Trump Tower Tuesday morning. Following their chat, the two appeared in the lobby where the president-elect said of West, "He's a good man. We've been friends for a long time." He added that the two had spoken about "life."
West, meanwhile, did not answer questions about his 2020 presidential run – announced during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards – or whether he would perform at Trump's inauguration. "I just wanted to take a picture right now," he said.
