Coincidence? Haley resigns as Kanye is about to meet Trump – and Twitter knows what’s up
Nikki Haley has unexpectedly resigned as US ambassador to the United Nations mere days before US President Donald Trump is set to meet controversial rapper Kanye West – and, well, Twitter is absolutely sure there’s a connection.
Haley leaving. Next meeting: Kanye. Draw your own conclusions.

Unsurprisingly, some are worried by the prospect of Kanye replacing Haley.
Nikki Haley resigned & Kanye is meeting with Trump. I don’t like where this is going.

I hope there's no connection between Nikki Haley's resignation and Kanye West's visit to the White House.

While others seemed more open to the idea...
I have no idea why Ambassador Haley has resigned. But I do know @POTUS is supposed to meet with Kanye West this week. And he has an international background and appeal. Just pointing out what could be a confluence of interests... https://t.co/eQyHTse326

One speculator wasn’t so sure that Kanye would be the one to nab the job, but did at least put him on a shortlist of potential candidates, along with his wife Kim Kardashian and former basketball player Dennis Rodman.

Meanwhile, Trump has said that a number of people have expressed interest in filling the vacancy left by Haley – but he did not mention whether or not Kanye was one of those people.
