lynda? >> apparently kanye wasn't done talking once he finished up at the white house. >> no. he then went to a d.c. apple store, i think he went to georgetown, jumped up on the table and just gave this impromptu address. he announced he was making a new version of the make america great again hat but he was going to drop the "again," saying, quote, when was america ever great for black people? he said the president has agreed to wear one of them. >> okay. all right, kanye. i love georgetown, my old neighborhood. some people at the store were just busy. that's all right. is my genius bar appointment up next?
