Trump's team: Kanye West not "traditionally American" enough to play inauguration
By Andrea Park CBS News

Kanye West might be buddies with President-elect Donald Trump, but he won’t be performing at Friday’s inauguration. 

That’s because he wasn’t invited to take the stage. 

Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump’s Presidential Inauguration Committee, told CNN that though West and Trump are friendly, West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event. 

“He’s been great, he considers himself a friend of the president-elect, but it’s not the venue,” Barrack said. “It’s going to be typically and traditionally American, and Kanye is a great guy — we just haven’t asked him to perform.”

LEFT✍🏾 @LeftSentThis

"Black Leaders," cozying up to Trump seem to be unaware of the definition/functions of tokenism. Kanye's inauguration snub is an example.

West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event. 

Is this a sign that Trump is talking and acting one way for the public but his team behind the scenes are doing something total different.

"West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event."  I wonder what this means?

Maybe West didn't want to be labelled one of those "mediocre" you know.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 20th 2017 at 2:43PM

That would not be up to the Donald John Trump's team to determine what West will be called STEVEN.

Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 3:10PM

Not labelled by Trump Ron, damn. Labelled by YOUR side.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 20th 2017 at 3:39PM

Review this paragraph and you will find A member of Donald John Trumps team coin this phase: "Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump’s Presidential Inauguration Committee, told CNN that though West and Trump are friendly, West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event.

Now you have the nerve to tell me that Tom Barrack is on my side with a title like that. Come man!!!(LOL)

Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 4:11PM

West asked Trump not to ask him.

Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 4:14PM

See Ron, YOUR side would complain either way. If West had played you would call him a mediocre sellout. This way you just do what you've always done and complain about Trump.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 20th 2017 at 4:53PM

Who made this statement STEVEN? West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event?

This is a factual statement. I'm not talking about what could've happened or what would have happened. Focus your attention on this factual statement. "West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event." This is a slap in the face by the Donald John Trump administration.

Sorry STEVEN, you can't switch the blame of what to me or to use your term, my side. The trumpet administration clearly owns "West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event."

Now do you know what the Trump team is talking about?

Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 5:09PM

You rejected what I think Ron. I think there is something behind that statement, some other reason than the one they gave out. But since you take it at face value, what do you think it means?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 20th 2017 at 7:11PM

I think that it maybe some kind of code like Make America Great Again or Forced Busing or States Rights.

You said that I rejected what you said. I must have missed it.

Steven, was it this: Not labelled by Trump Ron, damn. Labelled by YOUR side. If it was, you know for a FACT that I blew that BULL💩 out of the water with this statement by Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump’s Presidential Inauguration Committee, told CNN that though West and Trump are friendly, West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event. 

YES STEVEN, if that was it, then I totally reject that BULL💩

Or this.

See Ron, YOUR side would complain either way. If West had played you would call him a mediocre sellout. This way you just do what you've always done and complain about Trump.

I see that you are up to these same old decisive tactics that did not work then and they definitely won't work now.

Now you feel that you have the power to speak for some members of my community. STEVEN, are you the spokesman for your community? I don't think so.

I told you what it was, Donald John Trump Presidential Inauguration Committee chairman "Tom Barrack,verbally slapped Kanye West I the face by saying to CNN that, West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event. 

Is this a sign that Trump is talking and acting one way for the public but his team behind the scenes are doing something total different? If so, the poor and the middle classes are in for interesting times.


Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 7:48PM

West and Trump are friends and if West feels slapped in the face I'm sure he will speak up for himself.

Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 7:51PM

He will not because he didn't WANT to perform.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, January 20th 2017 at 11:13PM

If that is so STEVEN then why did Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump’s Presidential Inauguration Committee, told CNN that though West and Trump are friendly, West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event?

Steve Williams Friday, January 20th 2017 at 11:34PM

I've got a better question Ron. Why didn't MSN ask Kanye West that question?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, January 21st 2017 at 8:14AM

No STEVE, since you know that West didn't WANT to preform, then why did Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump’s Presidential Inauguration Committee, tell CNN that though West and Trump are friendly, West is not “traditionally American” enough for the event?

Since you know so much and what did that statement imply?

On your next reply, I want you to answer that question, without trying to change the subject and your normal brand of BULL💩.

Steve Williams Saturday, January 21st 2017 at 8:35AM

Has CNN talked to Kanye? Does anyone report on Kanye's health and recovery and when he'll be ready to perform again? Has anyone looked at his twitter? Or is Kanye nothing but a prop for CNN and the liberal snowflakes?
