Trump commented that Kanye could "speak for me any time he wants. He's a smart cookie. He gets it.", and that Kanye could very well be a candidate for a future US president. 

It comes after people criticised Kanye for his many controversial moments including saying that slavery was a 'choice' and his continued vocal support of Donald Trump. 

The most awkward moment during the encounter would have to be when Kanye hugged Donald Trump when saying "I love this guy right here,".
