President Donald Trump’s campaign sent out an email to supporters on Thursday following Kanye West’s tweet storm in support of Trump.
“DON’T BE SILENCED. The American People do not want to be told what to think or who to support,” the text read. “Group think is a mandate in today’s society and when a free-thinker like Kanye West speaks truth, they attack him.”

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.
