Donald Trump apparently had some pretty weird ideas during his presidency about what constitutes national unity.

On Tuesdays episode of Watch What Happens Live , Alyssa Farah Griffin who served as White House communications director from April to December 2020 claimed Trump wanted to unify the country during her tenure by hosting one of the most divisive entertainers in recent history.

Griffin offered up her account when a caller asked about her wildest experience on the job.

This is going to be dark, she warned . To be honest, one day he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country, and I can think of few things less unifying than that.

We were like, Not the time or place, sir, Griffin continued.

The Chicago rapper now known as Ye started holding Sunday Services in 2019, but its not especially likely he wouldve united the country, as he was already promoting Trump on a regular basis as a new MAGA figurehead.

Ye famously endorsed Trump in 2016 , posing for photos with him at Trump Tower in New York City ahead of a private meeting. The Grammy winner went on to don a Make America Great Again hat for years to come, and was invited to the White House in 2018.

Ye told Trump at the time that he was on his heros journey right now, but later said he didnt vote for Trump, or anyone else , in 2016. Ye claimed in 2020 that he no longer supported Trump .
