Kanye West announces he is running for president in the 2020 US election

Header media

The rapper announced his presidential campaign on Saturday as July 4 celebrations continued across the US. “I am running for president of the United States,” he said, alongside the hashtag “#2020VISION.” Although there are some states in which it is too late for West to add his name to the ballot, he is still able to join the race as an independent in others.

Shrewd move on Trump’s end.

Guess lots of black folk will vote for him for all the wrong reasons – the color of his skin and and name recognition. Most will have no idea about what he thinks about the issues and how it will impact our future – just like 80% of the rest of the voters.

Agreed. Kim and Kanye rubbed shoulders with Trump and managed to each become billionaires in record time – along with sissy Kylie. Only a few years ago, Kanye was publicly begging Zuckerberg to spot him a $billion for some project that he had.

Obviously, the Kardashians – yes, his name is West but he is primarily a Kardashian – benefited from becoming friends with the oligarch president. That makes it suspicious that they would now be running against him. It’s more likely that Kanye is running defense against Biden and his black coalition.

It’s interesting that he appeals to Christian values. Maybe he is intending to split the black vote by religious outlook; not all blacks are Muslim.

By filing this late in the campaign, he insures that he has a voice but is no real threat to the presidency. He is merely a another distraction in this age of distraction politics.

Kanye has the ego, perhaps the charisma, but he doesn’t have the ability to compartmentalize like the Rhodes scholar Clinton and his pal Trump. Said ability is nothing more than a lack of conscience that Cecil believed was a worthwhile trait in his candidates.

Katt Williams is more polarizing.

Exactly HSF. Notice that Kanye waited until the polls showed conclusively that all Trump’s disgusting pandering to blacks for 3.5 years didn’t even budge the black vote.

“Niggas in Paris!” yo.

Auntie would like to see Cthulhu finally run for the presidency. WOuld have a great chance and widespread support in the current environment.

And that would throw a rather different “musical” optique on the deteriorating psycho-social scene here in the States:

This is what happens when you let a Kardashian STD run rampant through your body without getting antibiotics.

Is Kanye a fag, or is he just funded, founded, and managed by fags?

Blacks typically vote 95% Democrat.

It seems to me that with West running, he would get the majority of the black voters. Maybe almost all, if Biden doesn’t pick a black VP. Either way, that’s an almost guaranteed win for Trump.

As if voting for Trump last time improved anything.
But this time voting is going to turn things around, right?

Who said I was pro-Trump? I am definitely anti-Biden though.

He has no chance as I am sure he is not a decedent of British Royalty as ALL previous Presidents including Obama are.

This Kayne West is the most hated American outside Trump. Something I’ve picked up on living in Jackson

He is a shrewd businessman. Moving operations to Cody his new home. Rumor is that he wants the Virginian Property in Jackson list at 60 million.

Buy it. It’s a steal. And ruffle some feathers.

Sure he’s running for POTUS. Just like that day Kidd Rock was running for Michigan Senator. Then he sobered up and said he was just joking. It wouldn’t matter if Kanye did run because once he was leading Biden in the polls he would be found dead by misadventure or suicide.

Any man stupid enough to marry a Kardashian and to stay married to a Kardashian is even less qualified to be POTUS than the usual cast of idjits and criminals that seek the job. What a maroon.
