Everyone in the world loves to take shots at Kanye West for saying the same dumb, narcissistic s**t that John Lennon used to say, even though everyone loves John Lennon. Can Kanye at least get some credit for not hitting his wife or ignoring his kids to run around with a crazy woman in a bag? I myself am guilty of this from time to time, because it’s just so easy. Even parody Twitter accounts love how soft a target Kanye is.
But Kanye is pretty awesome, at least in my book. For a start, he’s 100% right on the “what color emoji should I use” question, one that has been tearing Twitter apart at the seams for years now.
Kanye has also caused some stirrings on social media with his love for Donald Trump and conservative journalist Candace Owens.
Even his wife Kim Kardashian told him to cool it on the Donald Trump stuff, which led to a few great tweets.

Even Trump himself commented. I’m glad he could take the time away from negotiating nuclear disarmament with North Korea to tweet to a rapper who was nice to him.
Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://t.co/vRIC87M21X

People are kind of shocked that Kanye likes people that everyone agrees are bad. Social media has allowed everyone to become so segmented into groups that align with their own world views that it’s a shock when someone steps outside of that and thinks differently. You may have noticed I’m not fan of Donald Trump from the way I’m always making jokes about how he wants to have sex with his daughter; I don’t think everyone who likes Donald Trump is bad just because some of the people who like Donald Trump are bad, I just think it’s really funny that he clearly and obviously wants to have sex with his daughter.
Kanye also posted a bunch of clips from a rambling video by Dilbert creator Scott Adams.
Kanye, I love you man, but you sound like exactly the sort of person who totally would have wound up in Chloe Sullivan’s sex cult.
While all of this has been going on, People ran a story with sources close to West claiming he’s been “hard to deal with.”
“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him like this,” a friend of West tells PEOPLE. “He’s all over the place. Excited. Loud. He’s sleeping very little, texting at all hours of the day or night. Coming up with ideas, sending them to people and instructing everyone to drop everything and collaborate. He truly feels like it’s the most exciting stuff in the world.”
“He’ll get something in his mind – a lyric or even a phrase, and he’s so excited that he’ll send 23 texts about it at 2:30 in the morning,” the friend continues. “It’s like he has discovered a cure for cancer. He’s that excited. And what he wants from you is to acknowledge that excitement and to reflect it back to him.”
“Everyone is super, super worried,” says another source close to the situation. “He just looks at you with a void. It’s like he’s mute and can’t talk and he just stares at you. The way he says things with such affirmation, he genuinely believes he’s God and a genius and that he can do everything on his own.”
Now, I’m not a doctor, I just get paid to make fun of celebrities. But here’s a quote from the Wikipedia page for hypomania.
Characteristic behaviors of persons experiencing hypomania are a notable decrease in the need for sleep, an overall increase in energy, unusual behaviors and actions, and a markedly distinctive increase in talkativeness and confidence, commonly exhibited with a flight of creative ideas. Other symptoms related to this may include feelings of grandiosity, distractibility, and hypersexuality.
Hypomania can be associated with narcissistic personality disorder.
I’m just saying that’s totally Yeezy.
