The less said, the better?

So it looks as though it took the travel ban to convince Kanye West that it might not be wise to associate with and talk sympathetically about Donald Trump. Because the president wasn't spewing racially insensitive (at very best) or hate-fuelled openly bigoted bullshit prior to that, of course...

Why do people delete tweets, exactly? It's quite beyond me. The fact that Kanye publicly endorsed Trump during the election campaign and was happy to have his photo taken with the gurning imbecile when they met to chat back in December (when Trump claimed they'd been "friends" for a "long time") isn't something that's going to be erased from the memory (or internet search engines) by removing a few tweets. And now that he's been rumbled for attempting to remove the evidence on his own Twitter has only brought the issue right back into the public spotlight.

A megalomaniacal determination to control the media and what's written/said about them: just another thing the pair have in common...
