Does rap megastar Kanye West support Donald Trump? He loves him - and proved it Thursday by suddenly striding from his chair at a surreal White House meeting to hug the president. "I love this guy right here," the serial Grammy-winning artist declared in the Oval Office, before taking the President in his arms.

The rapper had been invited to lunch to discuss prison reform but turned what would ordinarily have been a staid White House photo-op into possibly one of the more unusual - and profanity laden - encounters in the Oval Office's storied history.
