Ye attracted considerable media attention in September 2005, when he appeared on a television fundraiser for [[Hurricane Katrina]] victims and famously stated "[[George W. Bush|George Bush]] doesn't care about black people." He later said he made that statement because of a "welfare mentality."<ref>Nelson, Steven (October 11, 2018).

West was again the subject of controversy at the 2009 [[MTV]] Video Music Awards, where he took the microphone from pop music singer [[Taylor Swift]] while she was about to give an acceptance speech and said that she did not deserve it as much as [[Beyonce Knowles]]. This upset the then 19 year old Swift and caused backlash against West from many notable celebrities and President [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. It was also speculated that this interaction was spurred by anti-white [[racism]], as previously demonstrated in his 2005 Bush comment.
He also created a stir when he posed for the cover of the February 2006 ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine portraying [[Jesus Christ]], wearing a crown of thorns on his head with blood running down his face.<ref>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11009059/</ref>
In 2015 Ye announced that he would be running for [[President of the United States of America]] in 2020. Many people joked about his announcement, however, 2016 [[Republican]] front-runner [[Donald Trump]] responded to the announcement saying, "I hope to run against him some day."
Ye proposed moving Adidas shoe manufacturers from [[China]] to the South Side of [[Chicago]] to create jobs and alleviate minority [[unemployment]]. [[Racist]] liberals and [[Democrat]]s called West mentally ill, a minstrel show, and an illiterate token Negro for challenging [[globalism]]. He continued to express support for the trade war with China.<ref>Gage, John (October 24, 2019).
