It’s still unclear as to why Donald Trump met with Kanye West on Tuesday morning. While the President-elect said it was because they were personal friends, the hip-hop mogul claimed they talked about issues. Some sources even stated that the billionaire was going to appoint the “Jesus Walks” rapper to an honorary ambassadorship, possibly to the urban community.
West as an ambassador to people, who feel like both the American dream and the Republican Party don’t work for them, could be a smart move. While it’s easy to mock West as a lunatic with a wildly inflated ego, there are millions of people who love his music and find him as an inspiration.
If Trump could use his celebrity connections to help build communities, who both need it and don’t believe they could depend on a Republican President to deliver, it may help unite the country. The President-elect could especially tap into his former Celebrity Apprentice contestants.
So here’s Red Alert Politics’ fantasy Trump cabinet:
Khloe Kardashian: Ambassador for outreach to the black community
CNN exit polls showed that only 13 percent of black men and four percent of black women voted for Trump in 2016. There’s clearly room for improvement, and the President-elect has made it more than obvious that he wants to help advance the lives and opportunities of African Americans. Who better to do outreach than for Celebrity Apprentice contestant Khloe Kardashian?
Secretary of New Jersey: Teresa Giudice
Republicans have been dreaming of flipping some deep Democratic states for awhile, and one of the biggest is New Jersey. Trump outperformed Mitt Romney in the Garden State by more than 100,000 votes, but he needs another 500,000 more if he wants to turn it red. No one better to do that than the queen of the Jersey Housewives, Teresa Giudice.
Secretary of Drug Rehabilitation: Sharon Osbourne
Let’s face it. No one knows more about drug and alcohol abuse than Sharon Osbourne. Her husband has tried everything, and through some act of divine intervention, she has stuck by his side. If Sharon can live with Ozzy and understand what he’s saying, maybe she can help millions of people who are addicted.
White House Spokeswoman: Wendy Williams
She won’t have to say a word, just purse her lips and give that stare. The media elite wouldn’t know how to handle the daytime talk show host, who’s been friends with Trump for years. As the media starts slamming the President-elect, Williams could give that stare and say “really, you look less than smart.”
Ambassador to the dead: Joan Rivers
It may seem odd to include the deceased on this list, but it’s imperative to remember that dead people vote overwhelmingly Democratic. In swing districts across the country, cemeteries are reliable to give left-wing candidates the edge in a tight election. Who better to swing over the eternally departed than Celebrity Apprentice winner Joan Rivers?
