Trump ‘Totally Blindsided’ During Dinner at Mar-A-Lago: Report

Former President Donald Trump was reportedly “blindsided” during a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida last week.

On Tuesday, NBC News published an extensive report about the dinner Trump had planned with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West.

The outlet noted Ye arrived along with three guests, including “white nationalist and antisemite” Nick Fuentes.

“We saw everybody in the dining room get up and start applauding, and then the president entered,” Fuentes told NBC News.

Fuentes added, “He greeted us, and he invited Ye into dinner and Ye said that he wanted to bring us with him to the table. So we walked in and Ye took some pictures with some of the guests in the dining room and then we sat down at the table.”

He claimed Trump made sure they “sat at his specially reserved table on the patio for all to see.”

One longtime Trump adviser said what was clear was that Fuentes’ presence was “part of a headline-grabbing setup,” as NBC News reported.

“The master troll got trolled,” the adviser explained. “Kanye punked Trump.”

Some have suggested Trump was ultimately tricked by the rapper and his guests.

According to the report, the suspicion is supported by Milo Yiannopoulos, the “anti-Trump, far-right provocateur who is now acting as a political adviser to Ye,” as NBC News explains.

Yiannopoulos declared he was “the architect” of the plan to have Fuentes go with Ye in the hopes that he would be included in the dinner with Trump.
