Fresh off his meeting with President Donald Trump, Kanye West apparently made a speech on Thursday afternoon at the Georgetown Apple Store.
He’s announcing he made a hat for Trump that says “made an updated hat that says ‘make America great’ without the ‘again’…and Trump wore it!”

Did West go to the Apple store to figure out how to change his phone’s passcode, given that the entire country now knows it was “000000“?

Earlier in the day, West was in the Oval Office with the president and spoke on issues ranging from manufacturing to his admiration for Trump’s “male energy.”
“It was something about when I put this [Make America Great Again] hat on, it made me feel like Superman,” West said. “You made a Superman cape for me.”
Trump called West’s speech in the Oval Office “pretty impressive,” but social media accounts show that the rapper wasn’t done orating quite yet. He gave a “keynote” at the same Apple Store where a woman confronted then-White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
“How does it feel to work for a fascist?” a customer asked Spicer in March 2017. “How do you feel about destroying our country, Sean?”
Photos indicate that West got a warmer welcome in the Georgetown Apple Store, with most customers lifting their phones in the air to capture his speech.
