Just as we thought it could not get worse for politics than to have Donald Trump running for president, news comes out that Kanye West intends to run in the 2020 presidential election.
In an interview with Vanity Fair in late September, Kayne had a lot to talk about. The interview was mainly all about his new clothing line, until he was asked about his comments at the VMAs about running for president.
Nobody thought he was serious at all when he said that, but after this interview he seemed to have it all planned out. He says his clothing line and his online store that he is opening up will help his 2020 campaign. He also plans on doing a special concert where he will have a set price on tickets and use that money in his running. He seems to me he is very organized and prepared for his presidential election.
Republican front-runner Trump had a lot of nice things to say about Kanye’s decision to run for president. Trump stated that Kayne loves him and praises him all the time. Trump is the kind of guy that if you do not talk bad about him, he likes you. Kanye praises him, so Trump loves him, even though they may be running against each other in the 2020 election.
Another republican front-runner Ben Carson spoke to Kanye and said he will give him a shot in 2020 and see what he does. Carson also told ABC News that he was very impressed with Kanye in his knowledge of politics and his future campaign ideas. Just like Trump, Kanye is a supporter of Carson and is not negative towards him. All these top candidates have very positive things to say about Kanye, so it just goes to wonder what will the 2020 election be like with Trump and Kanye both running. I feel like that is a disaster waiting to happen.
When did celebrities decide to run for president? It seems like a common thing nowadays for some reason. To be president, all you need is to be born in the United States, be 30 or over and you need to have money. Kayne and Trump have all those things. The rule should be that you have to work for the government or have experience being mayor or governor of a state. If I am rich when I turn 30, I can run for president. Just think about it: you can be president and not be involved in politics at all. What has this world come to?
