"Kanye West must have some power because I doubled my African-American poll numbers. We went from 11 [percent] to 22 in one week," Trump said during his NRA convention speech in Dallas (via NBC News). "Thank you, Kanye, thank you. Even the pollsters thought there must be some mistake."
On the heels of the improved approval rating, Cleveland-based pastor Darrell Scott, who attended the White House's National Day of Prayer event, revealed that the president is considering inviting West and Colin Kaepernick, a frequent Trump target for the quarterback's refusal to stand during the National Anthem, to a summit on race.
"He is 100 percent for it. He was very enthusiastic about it," Scott told People of Trump. "It's not going to be a black-only event. It will be a melting pot."
West has not yet commented on social media about the Trump's gratitude or the summit.
