At a time when President Donald Trump is eager to surround himself with supportive television personalities, he’s taken a particular liking to a pair of YouTube stars known for, among other things, a pro-Trump, anti-Eminem rap song titled “Trump’s Yo President.”
Diamond & Silk are not your prototypical Trump boosters. They are African-American women who have relied on the internet for their rise to fame (or infamy, depending on your political posture). They are known, predominantly, for their direct-to-camera, impassioned defenses of the president—and acid-tongued takedowns of his critics. But in recent weeks, the two have had a growing presence on Fox News, which has, in turn, put their commentary squarely on Trump’s radar. And, according to White House officials, he’s impressed.
Within the halls of the White House, Trump has repeatedly commented to aides over the past several months about how much he enjoys catching Diamond & Silk on TV, referencing specific clips and interviews they’ve done on shows such as Fox & Friends or Hannity, two West Wing officials and an outside Trump ally tell The Daily Beast.
According to those close to the president, Trump finds their unabashedly loyalty, as well as their style and flair, “fantastic.”
Yeah I guess we should have anticipated this after Diamond and Silk were photographed with the Wasilla Wendigo at Mar-a-Lago.
I wonder how much longer it will be before these two get joint appointed to run the newly created "Dark Skinned People Outreach Program" that Trump will surely create in order to convince the black folks that he loves their votes almost as much as he loves white people votes?
