Kanye broke the internet.

After several days of expressing adoration towards President Donald Trump, Kanye West, Wednesday, posted a picture of himself wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.

A hat which was signed by the Commander in Chief himself.

In an entirely predictable development, the president shouted out Kanye — thanking him for his Tweets.

Thank you Kanye, very cool! https://t.co/vRIC87M21X

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 25, 2018

The surreal exchange prompted an internet meltdown. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:

Welp.
It happened.

In 2009, President Obama called Kanye a "jackass," defending America's sweetheart Taylor Swift. At the time, Trump was a reality TV star who had recently created a Twitter account.

In 2018, President Trump thanked Kanye on Twitter & the country is united against Taylor Swift.

Time it took for Trump to Tweet a note of thanks to Kanye West: 3 hours

Time it's taken Trump to Tweet a note of thanks the Waffle House hero, James Shaw Jr for his bravery: We're still waiting because he hasn't done it yet. https://t.co/vnrbnbaBWc
