Prison reform - real or fake?

The president is set to meet Thursday with former professional football player Jim Brown and rapper Kanye West, who are expected to push for criminal justice reform. Both have previously met with Trump and have endorsed the president.

Trump also praised Kanye West, Kardashian West's husband, saying he "has been a friend of mine," adding that he is "a very different kind of a guy. I say that in positive way, but he is a very different kind of a guy."

"Different" than most blacks, I think he means.

The president also touted that his "polls went up like 25 percent" after the rapper came out in support of him, adding that he has "a big, big following" and "is respected."

Is Kanye going to be our next UN ambassador, or will it be Ivanka?

The White House in August agreed to hold off on prison and sentencing reform legislation until after the midterm elections. The Department of Justice supported the stance, saying that the legislation would put "drug traffickers back on our streets."

But on Thursday, asked during a phone call with "Fox and Friends" whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions is standing in the way of criminal justice reform, Trump said the decision is not up to him.

"He gets overruled by me," Trump said. "I make the decision, he doesn't."

It would be pretty wild indeed if Trump ended up doing more for the black community than Obama did.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
