6 Kanye has never hidden his love for the US President and even embraced him at Trump Tower


Their most recent display of affection follows years of social media appreciation between Trump and the President.


The loved-up posts were rumoured to have cost the rapper nine million Twitter follows, but the claims have been proved false after Twitter confirmed Kanye still boasts around 27million followers.


Kanye, 40, tweeted: "You don’t have to agree with Trump but the mob can’t make me not love him."


He also shared a picture of a Make America Great Again cap and wrote: "My MAGA hat is signed", followed by a string of fire emojis.

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian defended her husband by tweeting: "To the media trying to demonise my husband let me just say this... your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary.


"So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair."

I love when people have their own ideas. You don't have to be allowed anymore. Just be.




Love who you want to love. That's free thought. I'm not even political. I'm not a democrat or a republican

Kanye continued that he loved free thinkers and showed alt-right supporter Peter Thiel.


The dad-of-three tweeted: "I'm so happy to hear that Peter Thiel would like to take a meeting. I feel very optimistic about the future."


Thiel is a controversial figure in American politics as he backs the alt-right and funded the Hulk Hogan case against Gawker Media for publishing a video of Hogan having sex.


The case saw an injunction placed on the footage being published and saw the media firm go bankrupt before being sold to another company.


A fan noticed Kanye's following seemed to have fallen after the series of Trump-loving tweets and wrote: "Kanye losing 9 million followers because of the Trump tweet."


But Twitter confirmed to The Verge: "We can confirm that Kanye’s follower count is currently at approximately 27M followers.


"Any fluctuation that people might be seeing is an inconsistency and should be resolved soon."
