What a joke. Not gonna solve anything in Chicago or anywhere else with any of that attention seeking nonsense.
I find it sad that anyone would think it "a joke" for someone to seek attention/shed light on the problems of violence, poverty, unemployment, drugs, etc. in inner-city Chicago (or anywhere). Turning a blind eye to these issues is what's "not gonna solve anything"! Except, I don't think that's what he was saying, or meant, Gypsy.
I think what Axl was saying (and I agree with him, if it is) was that particular instance wasn't calling attention to anything except how uncomfortable it was. There was literally zero content to be derived from that 10 minute Kanye monologue. It was a "lunch" that turned into an incoherent manifesto delivered at a press event. Any message he was trying to get across was completely obliterated by the manner, and method, he delivered it.
Something he has in common with our president, actually.
I don't think Axl finds "seeking attention/sheding light on the problems of violence, poverty, unemployment, drugs, etc. in inner-city Chicago (or anywhere)" to be a joke.
He found the method they tried to accomplish it to be a joke (and contrary to having any sort of effective dialogue about it).

Oh n’ don’t let any of this distract from the Khashoggi killing.
This tweet was posted literally within an hour of the broadcasted (on tv & the web) press conference by State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert on the matter.Again, I suspect you're misreading it, here.
I don't think that last bit was addressed at Trump or Kanye or the US Govt.
It was addressed to "us", his followers.
And he's right. The Kanye spectacle is/was far less important, and far less impactful long term, than the Khashoggi killing. Kanye's...whatever that was....was a distraction (and I don't mean an intentional distraction for some purpose, I mean a distraction in terms of it's relative importance), the Khashoggi killing is an international issue.
