Kanye West showed up at Trump Tower in New York City on Tuesday morning. Though the exact reason for his meeting at what is arguably fascism HQ USA is not currently known, might I be the first to say: WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK.

Trump spox Hope Hicks confirms @kanyewest is meeting with the president-elect, though it is still unclear why.

Official details from West's visit have not been released, but some are speculating that this could be a sign that the President-elect has found someone willing to play at his inauguration:

According toTMZ, West requested the 15-minute Trump Tower meeting and the President-elect agreed. Monday night, West was spotted in New York City while preparing for what TMZ then described as "some business meetings."

Regardless of the nature of the meeting, people are understandably perplexed:

Trump has no time/interest for Daily Presidential Intel Briefing. But has time to meet w/Kanye West. Like I said, u can't make this crap up. https://t.co/DnuITXbV3y

Kanye West, like Leo DiCaprio, is a clever distraction. Don’t forget that Trump just tapped an oil exec w/ no foreign policy as Sec of State

Last month, West checked out of UCLA Medical Center after a week of treatment related to what one source described to CBS News as "sleep deprivation and exhaustion." Other sources claimed West had suffered a "mental breakdown." Just before his hospitalization, West shocked fans with seemingly pro-Trump comments during a Saint Pablo performance. The tour was later canceled entirely.

Please say there's a bigger plan at play here. This, for example, would be swell:
