Wrestler turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said he is considering a run for political office on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Wednesday night.
WATCH:
“I know you’re not particularly a political person, but people have talked to you about whether you would run for political office yourself,” Colbert said. “Do you actually take that possibility seriously?”
“I absolutely do, yes,” Johnson responded.
Johnson then explained that a Washington Post article suggested that if he ran, he would have a shot at winning, and that’s where the hype began.
“So when that started picking up — of course when I’m asked — yes, I have incredible respect for our American people and our country, so I said, ‘Yes, I would consider it,’” Johnson added.
“But at the same time, Stephen — I mean, look, I’m not delusional at all. Like I feel like I … you know what it is? I need that thing … oh, experience.”
America, I hear you.

Johnson is one of many celebrities that have suggested or been rumored to consider a political run now that the president has blazed the trial. Other celebrities that have been rumored include Mark Cuban, Howard Shultz and Kanye West.
The only possible way anyone could wrench the GOP nomination away from Trump in 2020 would be to complain that there’s been too little Wall.
The fact that media stars think they can run the country when they need a manager to run their own affairs makes me scratch my bald head. At least Trump had lots of business experience. The Rock, not so much.
That talent-free sack of shit couldn’t run a toy train in a circle. He’d suck Felonia’s dick if it got him paying work, and probably has already. F#ck, those hollywood folks are idiots. Plain idiots.
He is a devoted family man and apparently honest. That places him several elevations above most of congress.
Yeah. I want another negro POTUS. Sign me up.
“It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.’ But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.”
― Murray N. Rothbard
Virtually every president has been grossly ignorant of economics, yet has been in the power position relative to the economics of our nation.
