The meal between Trump, Fuentes and West was a "very quick meal" and "uneventful" according to Trump.

Few details have been released about what was said during the dinner at Mar-A-Lago, though West said Trump started "screaming" at him when he said he was running for president.

According to Trump, West asked for advice and he extended an invitation for dinner knowing that West had financial difficulties.

Trump claimed that a guest was brought along by the man.

Trump told Fox News that he had never heard of the man and that his views wouldn't have been accepted if he'd said them at the table.

Key Background

The meeting made it "highly unlikely" that Trump will win another term, according to Senate Minority LeaderMitch McConnell. Trump told Fox News that McConnell is a loser for the GOP. He started the America First Political Action Conference in 2020 as an anti-Israel counterpart to the Conservative Political Action Coalition and encouraged violence to keep Trump in power after he lost. The Anti-Defamation League condemns him for using his online presence to further conspiracy theories about the impending destruction of the white race.

Trump said that McConnell's views wouldn't have been accepted if they had been raised at dinner.
