Kanye West wants President Donald Trump to fly in a plane designed by Apple.
In a meeting Thursday with Donald Trump, West proposed the iPlane 1, a hydrogen-powered plane that would replace the existing Air Force One. West showed Trump the design on his iPhone X — which appeared to have a lock code of “000000” — and suggested that Apple be the one to build the plane.
“If he don’t look good, we don’t look good. This is our president,” West told reporters Thursday in the Oval Office. “He has to be the freshest, the flyest.”
Apple, which does not make planes, declined to comment to Business Insider.
Here’s a close-up of the design that West showed the president.
Telegraph journalist James Ticomb reports that West’s iPlane photo is actually an industrial deisgner’s concept drawing of an iPlane, dating back to 2012.
West also treated the Oval Office to an “extended soliloquy” that covered the importance of American-manufactured goods, how wearing a MAGA hat makes him feel like “Superman,” and his recent bipolar disorder diagnosis.
