Twitter basically melted down with all of this Kanye West/Donald Trump drama
Kanye West has taken a metaphorical sledgehammer and destroyed the internet, once again.
The rapper and designer is back on Twitter (in time to promote his new album out this June, interestingly enough) but his somewhat deep and relatively mild thoughts about time and conciseness took dark turn this week.
On Wednesday, West tweeted extensively about Donald Trump and their shared "dragon energy" and then shared images of him with a MAGA hat on (and music executive Lyor Cohen flashing the the "OK" hand symbol, which also happens to be a hand sign of the alt-right).
So what do the good people of Twitter do when their favorite rapper has gone rogue? Make jokes and memes, of course.

kris jenner, never removing her sunglasses, walks into a bank, where she is greeted by a nervous-looking employee. he walks her through the vault to her safety deposit box. “Thank you, you can leave now,” she tells him. she opens the box, and pulls out an envelope labeled “KANYE"

And since so much had to do with Get Out, it was only appropriate that its Oscar-winning writer Jordan Peele weigh in with a slightly cryptic tweet of his own.
*Gets inspired

In times of despair, at least we have a good meme to turn to. If only it helped.
