Criticism of West's interruption of Taylor Swift's speech continues.
By MTV News staff

While he's all for beauty queens expressing their opinions at pageants, if there's one thing Donald Trump can't stand it's rudeness. The Donald unloaded on Kanye West Monday, laying into the rapper for his now infamous disruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at Sunday nights' VMAs.

According to TMZ, Trump said West's actions were "disgusting" and called for a boycott of all things Kanye-related "so this kind of thing doesn't happen again." The Donald also apparently wasn't buying the argument that West jumped up to defend Beyoncé's honor when he ranted about how "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" should have won for Best Female Video. "He couldn't care less about Beyoncé," Trump said. "It was grandstanding to get attention."



While West later posted an apology to Swift on his blog — an all-caps rant that was off the site by Monday morning — another person who was not having it was Joseph Jackson, patriarch of the Jackson family, who reportedly shared sips from 'Ye's bottle of Hennessy earlier in the night. TMZ posted a statement from Jackson in which he said, "I don't know what he was doing, he jumped up on stage and snatched that microphone out of that poor girl's hand. They should blackball him out of show business for that. He just leapt up there, that was bad." Jackson said just minutes after he'd spoken to West and been introduced to the rapper's girlfriend, Amber Rose, Kanye jumped onstage and grabbed the mic from Swift.

From fans to Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Pink and Paramore's Hayley Williams, reaction to the stunt was universally negative. "American Idol" runner-up Adam Lambert, rarely one to criticize anyone, also tweeted about it, writing, "Kanye needs to chill. He freaks out every year. It ain't that deep man."

And while Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz — who also was reportedly pictured sharing 'Ye's Hennessy bottle — did not put the rapper on blast, he did tweet props to Taylor, writing, "Glad #teamtaylor had her chance to have her moment." That sentiment was shared by John Mayer, who added, "Big love to my girl @taylorswift13. A class act."

i think he pulled some serious douchery. but...who cares what these people think? i'd hardly give a shit what an asshole like trump, or a douchebag supreme like joe jackson, have to say about anything. and adam who? please, he's a game show winner.

gross to think of all those people sippin' from one bottle....

and you know you have fucked up when Joe Jackson calls you rude!

Joe's hooker looked better than Kanye's hooker (yeah I said it, what?)

Ok Kanye is a dick, but i dont need 3 other dicks to tell me that. I mean Joe Jackson? Come on, this guy is a child pimp, he was already trying to pimp mike's kids a week after his death, im surprised he didnt book them in vegas. Donald Trump, well we do we begin, his hair, right there with that hair you arent alllowed to have an opinion. And Adam Lambert.....HELLO??Whats next opinions from the HILLS Girls, i mean they are more relevant and intelligent than this fool who so far has done NOTHING but lose on a karoake show doing covers.

So was that Joe's date? I wouldn't be surprised. He probably got a blow job before getting out the limo.

BklynBabe said:

Damn joe can a brother ride wit you. I saw that chick sitting
next to him but i didn't think that was joe's honey.

lastdecember said:

Granted, I agree with you. But remember, THIS is the same Joseph Jackson that convince his baby daughter Janet to get into show business.

Jesus fucking Christ, how many threads are we gonna have about this shit?

Why is this shit being discussed as if it's a major world event?

Kanye mad an ass out of himself. I'm calling Ripley's because they truly ain't gonna believe this shit!!!

Kanye's got a big mouth who didn't already know this???

This isn't the first, second, or even third time he's done this shit so why is this such a big deal?

I'm not defending dude, I thought he pulled one of this biggest bitch moves I've ever seen.

Is what he did really that fucking shocking that it needs 15 God Damn Posts about it?!?

Kanye - the media is his puppet. And he laughs all the way to the bank.

Look at all the attention. Even in the org where there are plenty of Kanye haters.

Keep giving it to him.

Ignoring him would be the worst thing you could do.

Jesus Christ, you'd think Kanye had dissed God himself with the way "people" are reacting. The entire world is just one big sheep now - if one person runs with something, fuckin' everybody does!

The guy already did this about 4 years ago. He dissed a former president. BUT OH MY GOD WTF HE INTERRUPTED TAYLOR SWIFT? GTFO OFF THIS PLANET KANYE!!!!!

Oh and @ journalists constantly badgering the President about shit like this.

"omgz barack lyk you got pushed to the corner of ppl magazine wtf!!

No wonder he pleaded for the kids to stay in school, he doesn't want them to end up like this generation!
