Trump camp says Kanye West isn't 'traditionally American' enough for the inauguration
Kanye West, who famously said he did not vote, but would have voted for Trump, has more not doing stuff to look forward to.
Speaking to CNN, Tom Barrack, chairman of the Presidential Inauguration Committee, dispelled any rumors that Yeezy would perform for Trump this week. West, unlike seemingly every other person tangentially related to music, didn't even get an invite.

"The venue we have for entertainment is filled out. It's perfect," explained Barrack, who apparently is patting himself on the back for scoring Three Doors Down and The Piano Guys.
"It's going to be typically and traditionally American," he continued. West was born in Atlanta, raised in Chicago and currently lives in Los Angeles. But he wasn't a contestant on America's Got Talent, so that must be a strike against him.
“He’s been great, he considers himself a friend of the president-elect, but it’s not the venue," Barrack said of Kanye.
The shady language implies that Trump does not consider himself to be West's friend, despite public statements to the contrary.
How could you be so heartless?
