Kanye West and Donald Trump love tweeting.
As always, both men declined to answer direct questions from the press following their Tuesday morning meeting outside Trump tower, but in signature fashion, West shared a few details on Twitter and suggesting that he would postpone his own presidential campaign until 2024.
"I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues," West wrote in one tweet. In another, he wrote: "These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."
