Trump campaigners are already using Kanye West to sell MAGA hats
Kanye West's latest outbursts have caught him a bunch of new Russian bots fans, and Donald Trump's fundraising team seems very keen to capitalise on that.
As Vera Bergengruen - National Security Correspondent at BuzzFeed News - points out, the Trump campaign is using Ye's latest actions as a way to get donations:

It's been a long week for Kanye fans - there are a million and one things to dive into if you've managed to avoid the whole situation thus far - but it looks like these past few days are probably just the tip of the iceberg, especially if Trump and his cabal need him for another photo op.
