Trump says Nick Fuentes’ views ‘wouldn’t have been accepted’ at Mar-a-Lago meeting if he knew

Donald Trump was left enraged after having dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate with rapper Kanye West and white supremacist Nick Fuentes, a new report claims on Tuesday.

Trump told Fox News on Tuesday that he did not know who Fuentes was, and distanced himself from his racism after being implored to do so by a growing number of fellow Republicans.

‘I had never heard of the man – I had no idea what his views were, and they weren’t expressed at the table in our very quick dinner, or it wouldn’t have been accepted,’ he said. 

Trump called the meeting ‘uneventful.’ 

In a video posted after the meeting, West – now known as Ye – said he told Trump he was considering running for president in 2024 and that the ex-president should be his running mate. 

The former president, who declared his own White House bid two weeks ago, was ‘basically screaming,’ the rapper said in his Twitter video titled ‘Mar-a-lago debrief.’

‘He tried to f*** me. He’s crazy. He can’t beat me,’ Trump reportedly said to allies after the dinner, according to NBC News.

An adviser told the outlet that Trump was ‘totally blindsided’ by the ‘setup’ dinner.

It’s since led to a torrent of criticism from both sides of the aisle. Both West and Fuentes have espoused anti-Semitic beliefs and other problematic comments.

Two people familiar with the dinner told NBC News that Trump was warned to be cautious before accepting a meeting with West amid widespread backlash over anti-Semitic posts made on Instagram and Twitter that’s led to top sponsors like Adidas, Gap and Balenciaga.

Right-wing provocateur and former Marjorie Taylor Greene intern Milo Yiannopoulos bragged to the outlet about setting up the meeting ‘just to make Trump’s life miserable.’

‘I wanted to show Trump the kind of talent that he’s missing out on by allowing his terrible handlers to dictate who he can and can’t hang out with,’ Yiannopoulos said. 

He’s now acting as an adviser to Ye’s 2024 campaign. 

The former Breitbart editor reportedly also recruited former Trump 2016 adviser Karen Giorno for the meeting to lend the group more credibility.

The fourth person with them was a parent from West’s Donda Academy, for reasons that are still unclear.

Giorno, like Trump, told NBC that she did not realize who Fuentes was until it was too late.

She reportedly realized that all three of her cohort were wearing jeans, which were against the country club’s dining dress code. 

West was not aware of that beforehand and reportedly said, ‘I doubt Nick is going to get in anyway.’

When Giorno learned Fuentes’ last name, she reportedly thought: ‘I’m going to kill Milo.’

Once at the club, the former Trump campaign aide said she tried to leave West and Trump to speak while trying to get the rapper’s two companions over to the bar – but Trump let West decide.

‘I’ll leave that to Ye. Do you want them to join?’ she said the ex-president asked.

He said he did. 

‘Let’s all eat,’ West said.
