Donald Trump wanted to use Kanye West to help “unify” America during his presidency, according to a former staffer.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as the White House’s Director of Strategic Communications during Trump’s tenture in office, recalled the bizarre idea during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
After prefacing her story by describing it as “dark,” Griffin said: “One day, he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to unify the country.”
She then joked: “I can think of a few things less unifying than that,” referencing Ye’s penchant for controversy.
Needless to say, Trump’s plan didn’t materialize.
