Shepard Smith Does His Best to Try and Explain Kanye-Trump Thing: ‘This is Getting Up There Now…’

So what’s all this hullabaloo about Kanye West? Well, Shepard Smith thinks he can explain it, or at least he tried to.

“Well, there’s a thing going on,” Smith began with a chuckle. “It’s Kanye West, who didn’t tweet for a long time, but he’s back.”

Then Shep gave us some word salad: “And there’s an album, and he’s running for president in 2024, and he really likes President Trump, but he doesn’t like everything, but he likes President Trump, and the reason I bring this up is because – ding ding ding! – there’s been a POTUS tweet.”

What POTUS tweet, you ask? This POTUS tweet, which came after Kanye showed off his signed MAGA hat, and the Internet had a collective conniption fit.

With us so far? Cool, it gets worse: Shep went on to explain that Kim Kardashian West got involved and said that Kanye may be, err, misrepresenting himself, so Kanye tweeted out that he doesn’t agree with everything Trump does and that “I don’t agree 100% with anyone but myself.”

“So it’s like, the couple of First Families getting together here, it’s Kanye, Yeezy, and Kim – my guess is that Kris Jenner gave a call. We don’t have this but you’ve gotta figure Kris Jenner gave a call. Don’t you figure? ‘Cause this is getting up there now,” he said. (Kris is Kanye’s mother-in-law.)

So what’s the executive summary, Shep? “Kanye’s back, and Kris is involved, and Kim’s in there, now POTUS has tweeted. We’ll see what happens.”

Great. Now we all understand what’s going on.
