Kanye West is no longer Team Trump, according to TMZ. The rapper apparently deleted some tweets about the President of his own volition after disapproving of his actions during his first two weeks in office.

West met with Trump in December, saying that he felt it was "important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change." A month before that, he was hospitalized under psychiatric hold after a series of rants on his Saint Pablo tour, during which he said that "if I would've voted, I would've voted on Trump."

Kim Kardashian has spoken against Trump's travel ban, and I'm sure their disagreement was a source of tension in the Kardashian-West household.
