Kim Kardashian has taken a rare step into politics to challenge Donald Trump’s latest controversial executive order against Muslim immigrants and refugees.
While tweeting perfectly logical statistics relevant to today’s political atmosphere is a bold move for the 36-year-old reality star, it also leaves fans wondering whether or not her newfound political views could put a damper on her marriage with Kanye West.

From using his concerts to go on lengthy political rants to chatting with Trump at Trump Tower, Kanye has been an avid supporter of the president since his candidacy. The rapper, who said he would have voted for Trump “if [he] had voted,” has also admitted to finding the president impressive.

“There’s nonpolitical methods to speaking that I like, that I feel were very futuristic,” Kanye said at one of his concerts. “And that style, and that method of communication, has proven that it can beat a politically correct way of communication.”

But clearly it’s doesn’t matter what her husband thinks because Kim Kardashian is her own woman who isn’t as impressed with President Trump’s logic.

Why ban refugees and immigrants from Muslim nations if lighting kills more Americans than islamic jihadist immigrants and right-wing terrorists combined?
In the course of ten years, an average of 31 Americans have been killed by lightning, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And all jokes aside, the Centers for Disease Control shows that an average of 11,737 Americans have died from being shot by another American in the last ten years.

So during a time when the President of the United States thinks that suspending the issuing of visas to people from Muslim countries is the right idea, leave it to Kim Kardashian, the reigning queen of selfies, to be the voice of reason.
Other celebrities also agree with the Kardashian sister’s political leanings.
During the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 29, many of the nominees and winners, not surprisingly, bashed Trump’s immigration ban.
“My father fled religious persecution in Nazi-occupied France. I’m an American patriot. And I love this country,” said “Veep” actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus while accepting the award for best actress in a comedy series. “And because I love this country, I am horrified by its blemishes, and this immigrant ban is a blemish, and it is un-American.”
“Hidden Figures” star Taraji P. Henson, who shared in a SAG award for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture, also got emotional onstage. “The shoulders of the women that we stand on are three American heroes. Without them, we would not know how to reach the stars. This story is of unity,” she said. “This story is about what happens when we put our differences aside and we come together as a human race. We win. Love wins. Every time.”
Kellyanne Conway, however, has fired back to criticize all of the president’s protesters.
On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Conway translated Trump’s recent tweet telling senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham to focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security.

“He is basically saying to people, ‘You protested my nomination, you protested my candidacy, you protested my election, you protested my inauguration, you protested the day after the inauguration, you protested the executive orders, you protested.’ How about this cooperation and this bipartisanship that we’re always talking about?” Conway said.
“The only person doing that is President Trump,” she added.
But while Conway is out there supporting the president’s decision, much of the population, including a suddenly political Kim Kardashian, don’t agree.
