Kanye W has fully embraced his identity as a Donald Trump supporter, it seems, and keeps drawing the ire and attending of social media users with his "new ideas."
Kanye appeared on "TMZ" for an interview in which he fabricated some incendiary comments virtually slavery. "When you hear about slavery for 400 years … For 400 years? That sounds like a option," Kanye said. "You lot were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all. It'due south like we're mentally imprisoned."
Social media users immediately (and hilariously) latched onto the comments, and Kanye took to Twitter besides, to double-down on the comments.

"The reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we tin can't be mentally imprisoned for some other 400 years," Kanye wrote in a tweet. "We need costless thought now. Even the statement was an example of free thought It (sic) was merely an idea."
"Once over again I am beingness attacked for presenting new ideas," Kanye wrote in another tweet. Of grade, many Twitter users pointed out that the idea of slavery being a choice wasn't really a new idea, but one long held by white supremacists to, uh, justify slavery.
Even meliorate, though, were the memes that Kanye'south quote spawned. Twitter users immediately began imagining who else might say something like, "Once once again I am being attacked for presenting new ideas." Pretty much the get-go person everyone landed on? Thanos (Josh Brolin), the big purple supervillain from the freshly released "Avengers: Infinity State of war."

Thanos' large thought, it should be noted, was killing half the population of the universe because then the other half wouldn't have to endure because of competition for limited resource.
Hither are a few of the other hilarious uses of the phrase, used by some of movies' greatest villains, and to justify some pretty controversial choices (such as a option of pizza toppings that divides the nation).
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" villain Kylo Ren definitely falls into the "angry almost being attacked for new ideas" army camp.
Thanos, of course, can't go anywhere without being ambushed by a group of superfolk. And so much for the tolerant universe.

16. On the Pulse nightclub shooting
Equally office of his button against gun command in the wake of the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High Schoolhouse in Parkland, Florida, Trump has advocated for arming teachers and others to stop mass shootings.

Trump wasn't wrong that the White Business firm was burned down in the War of 1812 -- that did happen. Blaming Canada doesn't make a ton of sense, though. It was British troops that burned down the White Business firm, since the U.S. was at war with England for the two-twelvemonth conflict. Canada was a colony at the fourth dimension, and and so was pulled into the war. A lot of it was as well fought in Canada. But blaming Canada for the White House doesn't really track.

Spicer went on to clarify that he did, in fact, know about the Holocaust. "I retrieve when you come to sarin gas, there was no -- he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing," Spicer said. "I mean, in that location was conspicuously, I empathize your point, thank you. Give thanks y'all, I capeesh that. At that place was not in the, he brought them into the Holocaust center, I sympathize that."
