People are pushing Kanye West to keep his promise of running for President of the United States in 2020.
When Kanye West ended his 11-minute speech at the 2016 MTV Awards with an announcement saying that he would be running for President in 2020, we laughed it off as we should have.
But now that Donald Trump, who we also laughed at, has actually gotten himself elected into the White House, people are taking Kanye’s statement more seriously and pressing him to go through with it, sort of.

With the way this election just turned out, the line between jokes and reality is very blurry. AmeriKKKa just elected a former reality television star to run the entire country and make serious decisions. If people think Trump is unstable, what level of crazy do you place Kanye West at?
Sure, Trump has made some very outlandish statements about grabbing p*ssy and even more outlandish promises about building walls on the U.S. borders. But let’s not forget Kanye is the guy who rapped that he feels there’s “still bitches that owe me sex” and asked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to give him $1 billion for “Kanye West ideas” that included stuff like luxury search engines. He asked him that on Twitter of all place too.
Is a Trump to Kanye presidency really going to be a move up? People are wallowing in the fact that the future First Lady, Melania Trump, has posed nude before. But Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian got famous off a sex tape.
After the events of this week, a Kanye West presidency can never be ruled out. But no, that’s not the move. Joking around is what got us in the space that we are in now. It’s time to take this kind of stuff seriously, again.
Plus, Kanye just signed Desiigner and Tyga to G.O.O.D. Music in the same calendar year. Nah, he can’t run the country.
