Wearing ‘Make American Great Again’ cap, Kanye West told everyone through his social media account that he is one of the top supporters of Donald Trump.
The support announcement wasn’t surprising for everyone in the first few words of his tweet. It all went shocking for everyone when he hinted to abolish or amend in the Constitution of the United States of America.
Kayne West’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ performance is already making headlines in the US which included an unaired rant about how he supports Donald Trump to mediocre applause and a handful of boos.
Showing MAGA cap, West wrote on Twitter, “this represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love.”
What is 13th Amendment of US Constitution?
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation
So, why does West want to abolish the 13th Amendment, which abolish slavery? He doesn’t read books and doesn’t know much about law and history. The question remained unsolved because he didn’t mentioned someone specifically.
With his reference to prisons in his tweet, West, possibly, was specifically referring to the part of the amendment which allows prisons to use inmates for slave labor.
After a couple of hours, the rapper followed up his words and tried to clarify with a new tweet.
the 13th Amendment is slavery in disguise meaning it never ended We are the solution that heals

West took Twitter again after half-hour to to say that we should amend in the 13th Amendment rather than abolish it.

We apply everyone’s opinions to our platform

Celebrities Reaction
Captain America actor is leading the list of celebrities who reacted on social media.
There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying. https://t.co/4jCFwB4T5U
