Little is known about what went down at this morning's meeting between President-Elect Donald Trump and Mr. Kim Kardashian Kanye West at Trump Tower in New York.

Few details, other than Trump saying that the two have been friends "a long time" and that they discussed "life," were given post chat. West's only reply to questions was that he "just wanted to get a picture right now."

UPDATE: West took to Twitter since the meeting, explaining that they discussed issues including "bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago." West went on to explain, "I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."
