Kanye West

He's off his medication, literally. He seriously needs someone who loves him to intervene and get him medical attention. Trump is just exploiting him. Kanye isn't playing any games, he's just very sick. It's sad really.

I think they are both thinking they are exploiting each other. Trump's motives are as obvious as the fact is he only stops talking for 25 minutes if he really wants something. Kanye, I feel, is taking orders from Momma Kardashian so he is actually being exploited from both ends here. There is an agenda being pushed on both sides and with Kanye off his his meds, that is keeping him from seeing it. 

That meeting was both sad and ironic. Both men think they are using the other, but are only there as pawns for others-Kanye for the K family and Trump for Putin's cartel. 

While it's been said that Kanye suffers from Bi-polar disorder, it seems like his borders on schizophrenia with a side issues of narcissism and megalomania.  As a reflection to and of Trump, himself, Trump still added in enough gestures and expressions to show that even he realized it was over the top manic. But he delights in it, so loves Kanye's love of him. Kanye outright sees himself as a God embodiment (Yesus, Yeesee, etc.in his branding) while Trump thinks he's more of a gift from God as does the political base, consciously or subconsciously. A lot of everything with both of them is subconscious branding, you can go deep into the psychology of "branding" through history,  in fact with power vs powerlessness. Think symbols and transference.

When Kanye's off his meds, and he has a varying public facade of a very strong, dominant male, in his private life with Kim he's a tiny little boy, crying and feeling abandoned by the total absence of a father figure and then sudden death of his beloved powerful accomplished mother during cosmetic surgery.

The whole beauty and fashion and hip hop male partners of the Kardashian empire, female driven, males absent is a recurring pattern. Even the one and only 'male' father figure, Bruce Jenner, did not ultimately identify with that persona and transgendered to 'female' identity and quest for power and self through fashion and beauty imagery.

In essence, there is a huge dichotomy; male v.s. female,  strong and empowered vs giving power to others and that polarity goes back and forth with each new relationship generationally. Beloved father figures disappearing or dying young, then reversed to power to the surviving female and her dying due to false ideals based on appearances.

It's very sad but very symbolic. Even when Kim was bound and gagged in her hotel mansion in Paris during her jewelry theft, Kanye was not there to protect her or their child and had failed to even check on hotel security with her constant risks and known threats to her safety.

Everything's off and when he's off his meds and he's the first to use it as his excuse, he continues to go off of them. He does love his own display of crazies as it gives him an addict's false sense of power again...in the news, on you tube, on the late show and SNL parodies.

And always these events coincide with a traumatic anniversary (his mother's death anniversary now) or before the release of an album or new fashion line or promotion of some kind.

Sad but yes, playing to an addiction for attention and power by crossing healthy behaviors . Again projecting Trump's own need for attention and distraction and being in the forefront any way they can get it!

Desperation for attention and power any way they can get it to fill up the holes andmissings in their hearts, spirits, and energetic personas.

I believe Kanye absolutely experiences what we currently call bipolar 1 disorder (who knows what we'll call it 100 years from now). In his case, I suspect it's primarily comprised of extreme manic and mixed states (agitated/aggressive semi-lows), rather than long periods of clinical depression. With untreated mania, it's not uncommon to see psychotic features. Grandiosity and delusions of grandeur belong to clinical mania. And it's a feature of the disorder that people tend to repeatedly stop taking their medication, even when it's helping, or reject their diagnosis over and over. Mania is euphoric in the early stages and allows sufferers to feel incredibly creative and productive, as well as super confident. Because medication levels them out, it can bring up fears of inadequacy in people who need to always feel like "superman."

It's also possible that Kanye has a cluster B personality disorder, such as narcissistic personality or borderline personality disorder. I don't know about that part, but I've thought he had bipolar 1 for years. 

I disagree that he allows himself to be controlled by Kris Kardashian, or any other member of that family. From the beginning, he set the terms about whether and how much he would be filmed, which has been negligible at best. He isn't a part of their reality series. And he's taken over the family's brand image by imposing his own fashion vision. They've complied.

I believe Kanye said what he did about being fatherless (his dad is living) and surrounded by sooo much lady energy because he's fallen down the alt right/MRA Internet booby trap, for which there's ample evidence. In a word, he's a misogynist. And he knows his man Trump can relate. 

Kanye's ego got hurt when his hero Obama called him a jack@$$ (for grabbing Taylor Swift's award out of her hands or whatever he did). And because he's over-identified in ego, he couldn't take the lesson with humility. Instead, he opted to reject everything he purported to believe in right along with the vast majority of his fan base, all in the manic delusion that he could convince the world he's coming from a place of "love" and "free-thinking."

He put himself in league with a white supremacist because the guy hates Obama, the man who hurt his feelings. The end.

But I feel that Kanye and the Donald have something more important in common than the obvious qualities of celebrity, narcissism, materialism, and "dragon energy." I feel they're both heavily fragmented personalities with the greater portion of their identities split into the unconscious. Both desire control and power and are in absolute avoidance of their own terror. This fact makes both men clear and easy targets for what I see as mass spirit attachments. Not the simple opportunistic variety of one or two spirit hangers-on, but a vampiristic horde. 

So, Maria, when you say you see his eyes looking gamey, I get it. But I don't see Kanye when that happens. I see something else. And from my perspective, this can be a reason someone with mental instability becomes suddenly more severe or vulnerable to behavioral extremes. And it breaks my heart for the guy and everyone around him—but I also know that no one can experience this kind of thing without agreeing to it on some level (we attract what we resonate with). I hope he decides to heal.
