Kanye West just can't stop tweeting, and this time, the president is involved. Welcome to 2018, everyone.

West recently returned to Twitter and he doesn't seem to be holding anything back, including sharing his support for Trump and posting a photo of himself wearing a Make America Great Again hat.

Despite the backlash, West posted another photo of the hat, showing off Donald Trump's signature on the front. He also shared that Peter Theil had reached out to him for a meeting. He also recently retweeted various videos by conservative cartoonist Scott Adams.

Earlier in the day, Kanye West tweeted about loving President Donald Trump despite not completely agreeing with his ideals, calling him a brother. Trump soon tweeted out his thanks to the rapper for his support.

Trump may have liked the rapper's tweets, but many fans of Kanye did not—and they didn't hold back when it came to photos of the hat and Trump's response.
