Kanye West has fully embraced his identity as a Donald Trump supporter, it seems, and keeps cartoon the ire and attention of social media users with his "new ideas."
Kanye appeared on "TMZ" for an interview in which he made some incendiary comments about slavery. "When you hear virtually slavery for 400 years … For 400 years? That sounds similar a selection," Kanye said. "You were at that place for 400 years and information technology'southward all of y'all. Information technology'due south similar we're mentally imprisoned."
Social media users immediately (and hilariously) latched onto the comments, and Kanye took to Twitter as well, to double-down on the comments.

"Over again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas," Kanye wrote in another tweet. Of grade, many Twitter users pointed out that the thought of slavery beingness a choice wasn't really a new idea, but one long held by white supremacists to, uh, justify slavery.
Fifty-fifty better, though, were the memes that Kanye'south quote spawned. Twitter users immediately began imagining who else might say something like, "One time again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas." Pretty much the first person everyone landed on? Thanos (Josh Brolin), the big purple supervillain from the freshly released "Avengers: Infinity State of war."

3. On Abraham Lincoln'southward Political Political party
Trump brought up Abraham Lincoln at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner in March. "Great president. Nearly people don't even know he was a Republican," Trump said. "Does anyone know? Lot of people don't know that."
-
Lincoln, of form, is famously the first Republican president, although the political party has changed significantly, both geographically and ideologically, from when information technology was started in 1854. Trump went on to propose, "Let'due south take an advertizing, let's use i of those PACs," to educate people near Lincoln's link to the party.

four. On His Electoral College Victory
Since winning the 2016 presidential election, Trump and his team have repeatedly called the win "the biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan." It wasn't.

Trump and his surrogates have maintained he had the biggest inauguration crowd in history, citing both the people on the footing at the National Mall in Washington D.C., and watching on Boob tube and online. "When I looked at the numbers that have come up in from all of the diverse sources, nosotros had the biggest audience in the history of inaugural speeches," Trump told ABC News. Going past the crowd and TV numbers, though, Trump'southward inauguration crowd was definitely not the biggest ever.

Nielsen ratings for the inauguration put TV viewership at nigh 31 one thousand thousand, or 19 pct fewer than the number who tuned in for Obama's inauguration in 2009, The Independent reports. And a PBS timelapse video shows the National Mall was never full during the entire event, while shots of Obama's inaugurations show the mall packed.

He was really aroused that he saw with regard to the Civil War, he said 'At that place'south no reason for this.'" Jackson, of course, died in 1845 — sixteen years earlier the Ceremonious War began.

Trump took to Twitter to clarify his comments on Jackson. "President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!" In fact, Jackson, a slave possessor, probably would accept fallen on the Confederacy's pro-slavery side.

Sweden. They took in big numbers. They're having problems like they never idea possible."
Screen Capture/The Guardian -
Trump later clarified the statement, withal again on Twitter. He said he wasn't referring to a news event that happened "final night" in Sweden, but rather, a Fox News story. "My statement as to what'south happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews apropos immigrants & Sweden," he wrote.
Twitter -
x. On beingness treated the virtually unfairly
Delivering a speech to the graduating form at the U.Southward. Declension Baby-sit Academy, Trump said, "No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."

12. On the Panama Canal
In a meeting with Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela, Trump seemed to kind of, sort of accept credit for the Panama Canal. "The Panama Canal is doing quite well. I recall we did a good job building information technology, right — a very adept job," Trump said, to which Varela answered, "Yep, about 100 years ago." While what Trump meant by "we" was probably "the United States," as Varela'due south comment suggests, in that location'south still an air of Trump glomming on to past accomplishments that had goose egg to practice with him.

13. On how much legislation he's signed
Trump likes to say things are historic without actually e'er checking (or maybe caring) if it's true.

ABC -
xiv. On his "celebrated" defense force spending increase

I thing near Trump's administration that he claimed wasn't historic was his approval rating after six months in office.

sixteen. On the Pulse nightclub shooting
As part of his push against gun control in the wake of the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, Trump has advocated for arming teachers and others to end mass shootings.

Getty Images -
Trump wasn't wrong that the White House was burned down in the War of 1812 -- that did happen. Blaming Canada doesn't make a ton of sense, though. It was British troops that burned downwardly the White House, since the U.S. was at war with England for the ii-year disharmonize. Canada was a colony at the time, and so was pulled into the war. A lot of it was as well fought in Canada. But blaming Canada for the White House doesn't actually track.

Of course, the utilise of gas to murder millions of German language Jews and other minority groups from within Germany and Europe was central to the Holocaust.

Spicer went on to clarify that he did, in fact, know about the Holocaust. "I think when you lot come to sarin gas, there was no -- he was not using the gas on his own people the aforementioned way that Assad is doing," Spicer said. "I mean, there was conspicuously, I empathize your point, cheers. Thank you, I appreciate that. There was non in the, he brought them into the Holocaust center, I understand that." The historically authentic term for "Holocaust center" is "concentration military camp," and at least 200,000 people killed in them were Jewish German citizens.
