Kanye West in Albania 🕺💃🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱❤❤❤❤
Rama is cartoonishly corrupt and belligerent to any rational definition of public service or Albanian patriotism. This is the cancerous effect of leaders around the world watching Trump and his family do anything they want, to anyone they want, without any state or individual stopping them.
Thank you to 73 million MAGA Republican voters and 2.3 million Progressives that refused to vote for Harris – YOU are just as responsible as Trump for this being our new global reality.
That is absolutely ridiculous Albania pm should be ousted
It'll definitely backfire
Absolutely Donald Trump and his administration and his family and senators are absolutely ridiculous stop screwing with other countries
The New Zealand Government spent $NZ 3 million to bring Robbie Williams to the country
WTF IS WRONG WITH ALBANIA????
when you try to make a mistake look smaller with another mistake and then both multiplied the trouble
Love west from Germany ❤🇩🇪
West has bipolar disease. Sure, he has done some crazy stuff, but thats bipolar. Let's have some grace for West. Israel has no excuse for how it has treated civilians for decades.
Who advices this PM?
It's not just the antisemitism. It's the entire public image and question of his mental health. At best this is a short term gain with a HUGE long term PR and advertiser loss. Protesting the Trump Hotel was the smart move. This is beyond stupidity.
Impending Disaster 😮
What is going on with the Albanian PM 🤔
Is this what Albania stands for?
So to put Albania on the map they hired Kanye? and not Mariah? or Bruno Mars.
A lot of corruption in Albania, I'm just saying.
God bless dw 🤍🙏🏻 teach jesus christ teachings to everyone 🤍🙏🏻
PW Rama finances a concert with public funds amid protests against his rampant corruption.
PM was afraid the echo of the protest against him has…one weak ago in a concert )(Albanian singer) all crowd in concert exploded enough with corruption ,Albania is not for sale,,,being afraid same thing will happened to Kanye concert he bought with taxpayer money 30 000 tickets and distributed them to the socialist party member…so he can be sure no insurrection will happened in Kanye concert.
