Donald Trump Insults Kim Kardashian Then Sides Kanye West In New Truth Social Rant

Donald Trump hit out at Kim Kardashian and praised her ex-husband Kanye West in a new social media post denying the claims of a new book about him.

The former president took to Truth Social Wednesday to dispute claims made in Jonathan Karl's book, "Tired of Winning."

In a scathing post, Trump criticized the ABC News reporter and referred to Kardashian as "the world's most overrated celebrity."

He took issue with Karl's account that Trump allegedly asked Kardashian to use her celebrity status to bring football stars to the White House after she asked him to "commute the sentences of various prisoners."

"This story is Fake News in that she would be the last person I asked to get football players," Trump wrote.

Trump then claimed that Kardashian's ex-husband, who now goes by Ye, played a more significant role in advocating for clemency.

"I did help with prisoner commutation, but only if deserving, and much more so for Kanye West than for Kim, who probably voted for crooked Joe Biden, and look at the mess our country is in now," he wrote.

In 2018, West met with Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to discuss a number of topics, including job opportunities for former convicts, manufacturing jobs in his hometown of Chicago, and gang violence, The New York Times reported. 

Trump concluded his post by claiming that Karl's "very boring" book contains "many other false stories."

In 2018, Kardashian visited Trump at the White House to discuss prison reform and the case of Alice Marie Johnson, a nonviolent drug offender serving a life sentence. Following their meeting, Trump granted clemency to Johnson.

But Karl wrote in his book that Trump allegedly demanded a "quid pro quo" after Kardashian asked him for additional commutations, according to an excerpt that was published by Axios Monday.

Citing an unnamed source "familiar with the conversations," the author wrote, "Trump would grant the commutations, he told Kardashian, if she leveraged her celebrity connections to get football stars who were friends of hers to come visit him at the White House."

"Kardashian actually tried to do what Trump demanded, seeing it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences," he added.

However, Karl claimed that Kardashian's attempts were unsuccessful as the athletes she approached declined due to Trump's perceived toxicity.

After Trump's presidency, Kardashian allegedly reached out to him again at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, seeking his endorsement for another clemency plea. But according to Karl, Trump allegedly "hung up on her" as he believed she did not vote for him in the 2020 presidential election.

Kardashian, who has publicly praised Trump for working with her on criminal justice reform, has not revealed her vote in the 2020 election.

Trump's jabs at Kardashian came after his daughter Ivanka attended the Skims mogul's birthday party last month.

The former first daughter was seen in photos Kardashian posted on Instagram from her bash.

"So blessed to have hit the jackpot of friends! I couldn't have ever dreamed I would be so lucky to call these girls my friends," Kardashian captioned the snaps.

"Thank you for all the birthday love and Kourt I'm jumping in bed with you next week for our bed rest picnic."
