— -- Kim Kardashian West is no fan of Donald Trump.

Breaking from her tradition of not talking politics, the reality star opened up to the September issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia about her feelings on Trump.

"Sometimes I feel like I want to speak out more about political issues," the E! reality star, 36, said. "You have to be really careful about what you say because a lot of things can be taken in the wrong context and I always want to be respectful; I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings."

Still, she didn't hold back talking about Trump.

"Anyone can run the U.S. better. My daughter would be better," she said of her 4-year-old daughter North. "We’ve worked so hard to get to where we were and to have so many things that we were so proud of in our country, to just literally revert backward is the most frustrating thing. Every single day when you can’t really believe what’s going on, the next day it’s something else even more crazy and tragic."

She continued, "It’s really scary, the world that we’re living in now. And when you did feel safe at home, now with Trump in presidency you just don’t feel safe any more."

Kardashian West's husband, Kanye West, famously met with Trump soon after he was elected. After getting some blowback, the rapper defended the meeting on Twitter.

"I wanted to meet with Trump today to discuss multicultural issues," West wrote. "These issues included bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago. I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."

Kardashian West clearly feels differently. Asked if she even follows Trump on Twitter, she replied, "I do not. I follow [former President Barack] Obama though."
