Truly Unusual Tea Time at the White House
Just weeks away from that epic summit with North Korea, President Donald Trump had a surprise sit‑down with the reality‑TV icon Kim Kardashian on the White House lawn. The aim? A serious discussion on prison reform and sentencing.
What the scene looked like
- Kim walked onto the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue grounds all decked out in a sharp black suit and a pair of canary‑yellow stilettoes. If a stylish pillow talk meets a policy session, you’d get this.
- She was supposed to catch up with Jared Kushner, the one in the White House working on criminal‑justice rewrites. Instead, her main guest turned out to be the President himself.
- Trump, a former reality TV star on “The Apprentice” and a New York tabloid sensation, flashed a grin that could light up the entire Oval Office.
Twitter‑ed chef‑style recap
From a tweet that looked a bit like a marketing piece:
“Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing,” the president logged, paired with a pic of the pair sharing a laugh in the Oval Office.
A real‑life civil‑rights moment
- Kim’s star‑power isn’t just for “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.” She has been a vocal advocate for Alice Marie Johnson, who’s spent more than 20 years behind bars for a non‑violent drug offense.
- Even the Clintons found sentencing reform hard to win in Congress, so their administrations relied on pardons. Trump, however, has leaned hard on a “lock‑em‑up” philosophy.
- His record includes pardoning names like Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio and former chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
Kanye’s cameo for the day
Not to forget that last month, Kanye West—Kim’s husband and a super‑professor of “love for everything”—took to Twitter to describe Trump as a “brother” and talk about “dragon energy.” The joke went viral, and we’re not sure whether it was a weird tribute or a marketing stunt.
Bottom line
When the Supreme Power’s chair meets a Kardashian’s throne, even the topic of prison reform gets a dose of reality‑TV drama—complete with expensive shoes, celebrity bows, and a dash of political drama. It’s a reminder that in Washington, the conversation can go from important policy to “In the moment, that’s real!” in a single breath.
