Kim Kardashian West came to the defense of her "free spirit" rapper husband Kanye West amid criticism for the "Famous" singer's tweet calling President Donald Trump "my brother."

In a scoldy tweetstorm, The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" reality star took particular offense at speculation about the state of West's mental health.

He’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair. He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive

Now when he spoke out about Trump... Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine
He never said he agrees with his politics

Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time

Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line

The president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was among those who shared Kardashian West's spirited defense of the rapper, tweeting "#ImWithHer" —  a lift of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign slogan.

West had praised Trump earlier in the day, saying the president was "his brother."

However, he clarified his stance on Trump after he said Kardashian West called him over the tweet.

You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

my wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone. I don't agree with everything Trump does. I don't agree 100% with anyone but myself.
