As he defended hosting Ye at Mar-a-Lago for a controversial dinner, former President Trump described the rapper as a "seriously troubled man, who happens to be black."
A notorious white supremacist and Holocaust denier was brought to the dinner by Ye. According to Trump, he didn't know who the person was before the meeting.
According to Trump, Ye requested the meeting at Mar-a-Lago and that he gave him advice.
The former president stated that Ye had been "decimated in his business and virtually everything else" but that he had always been good to him.
Numerous companies have cut ties with the rap star after he made antisemitic comments and wore a shirt with the words "White Lives Matter" on it.
Ye said that Trump told him he would lose if he ran for president. When Trump asked the rapper to be his running mate, he was not happy.
Trump told Ye not to run for office as it was a waste of time.
The former president is going to run for president three times.
Ye's campaign ended after he got only 70,000 votes.
According to Trump, Ye brought three people to the dinner, two of whom he didn't know and one who hadn't seen him in a long time.
He said in the previous statement that he didn't know anything about any of the guests. According to sources, one of the guests was Karen Giorno, who was the Florida director for the Trump campaign.
The backlash from the Mar-a-Lago dinner was a nightmare, according to an anonymous long time Trump adviser.
The White House, former GOP governor Chris Christie and Trump's former ambassador to Israel are some of the people who have criticized Trump.
