"Rappers are the philosophers of our now, celebrities are the influencers of our now, just look at the president, he wasn't in politics and won," said the star.
Most Hollywood A-listers, such a George Clooney, Beyonce and Kendall Jenner were resoundingly in support of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Kanye also shared his opinions about the Clinton campaign over several speeches during the concert, and said that he "loved" Trump's debate style.
"Echoing is what made people think Hillary was going to win, you thought because what the Internet was telling you, that she was gonna win"

One concert attendee reportedly threw something at the singer, who then threatened to cancel the show and asked: "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?"
"I'm a human being too, I have feelings, I liked the debates, Im a guy and a rapper, I'm a non political rebel, the debates were entertaining"
The rapper is said to have stopped multiple songs during the concert to continue discussing Trump's "genius."
Kanye just stopped Jesus Walks, talking about how Trump is a genius.
