Rapper uses Independence Day to make announcement, but it’s not clear if he has filed any official paperwork to appear on ballots

With just four months to go before polling day on 3 November, it was not clear whether West’s tweet would have been more fitting on April Fools’ day than American Independence Day.Photograph: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images

US politics under Trump has become a pyramid scheme. Anyone can join in to boost their number of followers on social media as long as they play along.

I thought he was a singer, when did he turn into standup comedian!!

If trump can do it, anyone can.

If he had gastric flu he couldn't run shit down his leg.

He'll take votes away from Biden. Stupid idea.

Be positive, at least he is young and fit and can sing.

Great another simpleton running for president of the US what could possibly go wrong.

Kanye East proud to you...✌️

LorenaGuzman_ 🤣

An egotistical showbiz personality in the White House? That’ll never work.

God help us.

🤮

🙄

🤦🏻‍♂️ no se aburren de hacer el ridiculo

AlFrankk

People were thinking no way Trump will win but he did 😂 it would not surprise me if they choose Kanye this time🙄

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

And why not?

what's left of of it by November.

But will people vote for him ? That is the golden answer...

Kanye 2020

He can perform on his own inauguration.😂😂😂

Same wolf, new sheep’s clothing

What would Jeromey-romey-rome think?

Oh please 🤣🤣 who dreams this garbage up 🤣

Uncle Tom

😂😂😂😂🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Might as well. Can't do worse than the present incumbent.

Yup! Split the ticket!

Because why not, we don’t have functioning country left anyway

Maybe he can pull votes from Trump

If he actually runs, it will help trump since the singer's base will likely be democratic thus hurting Biden's chances.

ROFL

What's the problem? If Trump can manage...

What a joke

Yeezus 🤦🏾‍♀️

Yep, way to go to split the liberal vote......Trump now back in until 2025.

🤡🤡🤡😷😷😷

Your candidacy will ensure another 4 years of Trump

Great. Lets do this! We can't go any lower, so what the heck?

Is this a joke?

Just utter nonsense, but then those idiots voted trump in and we voted boris in.

Must be off his meds again

he is truly one of the most repugnant luvvies. A man who thinks hoarding more wealth than any person should ever have, is something to brag about. I feel sorry for his kid, having two of the most vapid, superficial people in existence as parents.

Who cares?

Christ and nobody thought there was someone worse than trump !

OMG 😳 😆. Is this a joke !! I hope people learned from the recent lesson

Who?

bar_yilz KanyeWest will do for Trump what NigelFarage BrexitParty did for BorisJohnson Conservatives. Trump2020 Trump TrumpLandslide2020 TrumpLandslideVictory2020

Kayne need to take his meds. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Nothing surprises me about the US

Is it Trump West (?) and Kanye West and promotion of old dying western propagandist cowboy movies with slight readjustment of one white and one black? Just asking cos still searching.

Is this a marketing strategy for his brand? Retails are really experiencing a difficult time in America huh?

This man is a looney

He's going to split the insanity vote

Make this the last time you talk about that, thanks.

Moron

Heaven help. Not because he is black, he is just plain stupid.

Yes - cos what the world needs now is another idiot with more power than sense (he already has more money than sense)

The only purpose this can possibly serve is to take votes from Biden. Kanye is an ass.

He is mentally unstable. The rapper revealed he had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder' He's just having a manic episode.

😂 😂 😂

This is from The Onion surely.... Nope

It’s the end of the world as we know it ... and I feel fine!!!

It’s a bit late for 2020 how stupid does he think we are

The demise of the West.

What is happening to America?

If you want to know how far the US has fallen, the fact that its presidency is now the plaything of the entertainment world says it all. The Chinese must be laughing their socks off.

This is stupid

Wow you couldn't make this stuff up, is he standing against Trump and Biden or what?

Land of the fre...ak. 🤡 What a bad, sad, clown show.

What a joke. But some idiot will vote for him.

Just what we need! Another off his rocker nutbag to muddy the waters

Another mentally unstable person if not mentally ill. :( WHY nothing shocks me anymore about this planet, especially about usa! 🧐🙄

Egotistical narcissistic

He might win. If Trump can, Kanye can... let's just blow the world to hell.. it's ravaged anyway!!

If he wins AGT for a magic trick show then he will win U.S election.

And the Idiotocracy is truly here!

Oh dear...

Thank fuck I don't live in America, what happens to the intelligent people there?

No.

I saw a documentary about this I think. 'Idiocracy', it was called.

If he makes a pro BLM platform he’ll steal a few million Democrat voters & help Trump to victory!

Wonder what the rap version of The Star-Spangled Banner will sound like.

Kim First Lady!!!🙄

This seems daft, as it will just divert votes from a candidate with a better chance of beating Trump. Is that right?

I think Ice T would be a better candidate.

He looks like he's made of plastic

Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse...

A trumpist strategy to divide the african-american vote.

West is doing this to help Trump. Do not be fooled. Flush the Turd on November 3rd. BenedictDonald VoteThemAllOut TrumpTraitor

BLM results in high black voter turnout, Trump and Kanye do deal to split the black vote.

splittheblackvote

Great. Exactly what the world needs. Another narcissist.

😂😂😂😂😂

Yeh trying to suck a few votes up for trump i expect they will fall for it

Why why why. Is he off his meds again.

Once upon a time, I would have laughed this away. Now it genuinely frightens me 2020

Taylor Swift would be better

Im glad that I’m an old person. The world is really getting into my nerves lately. I cannot wait to die; the glorious oblivion has never been this enticing.

Some commentators have been saying for a couple of years that West may run in '24, so this is not a surprise. Looks like it's coming a cycle earlier...

You can never put trust in someone who's main strategy for running a Country is to trust in God. It didn't work out for coronavirus or mass school shootings.

Made my day ...

What about Beyonce that would work?

It's not April 1 is it

More idiotic attention seeking...best to ignore him.

Batshit crazy kanye West. Hope snoop dog goes for the democrats.

Zuperpie From tragedy to farce. Can 2020 get any worse?

The land of the freaks and the home of jackasses.

Which just goes to show you dont need to have anything but money to count for something in USA

The ultimate elephant trap. Kanye is a regular fixture in the Trump White House.

Is this the onion?

They’re trying to split the vote like Lib Dem & labour!!

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Almost as bad as when tiger king went for it

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Gonna above this here too coz it’s back on my feed and

Bit late Kanye. Guardian clickbait

After Trump, another fart.

If he really means it, I don't know. Kanye might only be talking through the MAGA hat!

ROFLMAO!!! stick to music sucker.

Only in F....ing America.

To be fair, I'm sure he would at least listen to those who would advise. He can't possibly be any worse?

He’s got a chance considering people voted for trump

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

You know your country screwed when Kanye West is the best candidate you have for President

or is it only the biggest egos on Earth should apply?

so crazy is the new standard for the WH?

Of course he is.

What a fool! Seems Kanye always craves the spotlight. Just another narcissist!

“Slavery was a choice” Kanye West

:)

Hm. Megalomaniac narcissist with a tenuous grip on reality? I guess it's never been tried before. Might just work.

This is very much on message as far as 2020 is concerned. VP Tom Sizemore.

WTAF!

OMG! This is phenomenal he will split the moron vote...

Can somebody please save American reputation in this world? Even a farmer kid from “5th world” countries making fun of America. Why Americans are allowing this to happen?!!! Freaks me out!

Blah blah blah blah blah

...This is exactly the kind of mayhem that favors Trump. Divide and conquer tyhe opposition. The intro of such ‘hopefuls’ should do the trick. All Trump requires is a small percent to be ‘pulled’ from Biden to win because his base is ‘solid’ and reliable. A very viable strategy.

He would be good him

He needs slapping back into reality.

Let him run. The only votes he’ll be taking away from another candidate will be tRUMP’s

🤔😂😂😂

Welcome to America

Against his pal Trump? So much for cherished friendships

🙈🙈🙈

R_liyie 🤣😂🤣

2020! The gift that keeps on giving!

I think he would make a fine president.

Could it get any worse?

Isn’t it a bit late to start running? CaptainMonty69

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

How is this news

There is a fine line between declare and commit.

95 days late.

😂😂😂😂😂

This is... this is fantastic. 2020 is the year that just keeps giving. Or taking.

Ffs. Now is NOT the time Kanye 🤦🏾‍♀️

He will prove that every rapper can become President

He'll scoop up the rest of the red neck votes who are unsure about trump

America is becoming a parody of democracy.

Oh ' Sweet Jesus, please come soon!'

Another fool

😳😂🤣

Where is he running to?

Kanye West sees Trump losing to a guy with dementia. As Trump goes down in a ball of flaming political polling West knocks Trump from his pedestal and yells, 'I'll be your president!'

Mad

Yeah I will ignore this from now on...

Stop. You keep making clothing. You’re as egotistical and unpredictable as trump.

Congratulations. Now anybody can be the US president

Precisely what is needed in the White House: another person with no political experience who would probably treat the Presidency as a reality show. Sorry, Mr. West. No thanks.

WTF? He is stupid... Well, he could.

Bloody joke.

Great

Ah, another idiot.

We should probably abolish the Presidency, the FBI, the CIA; streamline the military, cut the space programme. Congress should run its term but we should also be able to recall and have bi-elections w/in the time frame. REFERENDUMS like the Swiss to give us more control over

politics is such a dirty place 🙄

Need needs meds not a campaign

😅😂🤣😂🤣😂😅🤦‍♂️

No f***ing way!

This is ridiculous.

POS

Oh man, don't tell me he's the antithesis 2 the antichrist; or is it the other way around..I like K.W.😇Anyhow, lauren_ash fyi I now use this word which U use a lot on your platform 'antithesis'. 🙂😉🙃

Yawn.

Oh that’s given me a good ole belly laugh to start the day 🤣

I'd like to announce that I plan on voting for Joe Biden in November 2020.

TY but no TY !🙅🏻‍♀️ Not another 🤡

Why not, just as qualified as the incumbent , also as stupid!

Another bonkers narcissistic sociopath in office then. That'll make a change. The only pres in 60 years that seems normal then is Obama and maybe Jimmy carter.

Anymore crazy shit happening in 2020? Just give it to me all at once!

Let’s not give this ass-hattery any oxygen, shall we? Thanks.

If true, this is a Trump ploy to try to get young voters away from Biden. Republicans are less likely to switch, so this will only affect the Dem electorate

If we're going for 'any functioning adult' that would rule you out.

And we don't fucking care.

West on the West Wing ?! Ain’t gonna happen 🇺🇸

Ne rigolez pas trop. On sait ce qu'il s'est passé la dernière fois.

His genius for generating tremendous amounts of free publicity is remarkable, a perfect match of kindred spirits with the Kardashians. It may not be the most admirable way to pay the bills, but it’s legal and very entrepreneurial. Their powers of marketing are truly next-level.

Terrible human being.

I love america!!!! Best comedy show on earth.

I

Whadda fruitcake

this is an obvious plan by trump to steal young and black voters away from Biden.

Me too 🇺🇸🙌🏼 Monty2020

Sounds about right

If he starts rapping in presidential speech, will u understand anything ? GMA nytimes

Should say: KW declares that he would like to stop people of colour voting for Biden so Trump stays in power- billionaires and bible bashers stick together. America is doomed.

🙄😐

Nut and Job

And?

Vote swift

Keeping up with the president? 🤯🤣

Over 23 TRILLION! In REPARATIONS! FOR ENSLAVED! ISRAELITES! GOLDBARS! TAXEXEMPT! LAND! AFRICAN! CITIZENSHIP! Ye YOU GOT MY VOTE! 2020VISION!

Kanye2020 2020Vision

Please, does 2020 have to keep getting worse?

Stupid as stupid he can be...

As if American politics can't get any more insane up pops Kanye West !

Does that mean anyone can stand for presidency?

Dammed bad idea, but bound to bring some memorable gaffes.

LOL, KK as the first lady of USA?😂

Hasn’t America got enough problems?

What scares me - he's the best candidate so far!

Without a doubt, my country has entered The Twilight Zone. Happy Freaking Fourth🤯

And may be declared himself as loser

2020 is out 2020ing itself

He'll pull more Trump voters away than he will Biden.

He is doing it to split the Biden vote. He's playing for Trump.

Look at his hat. Know what his tactic is meant to accomplish.

Quick, buy him a calendar

America doesn't even care anymore.

I would assume he’d be running 3rd Party. It sounds like an attempt for Trump to take black votes away from Biden.

Manic depression is a bitch! Where are his meds?

BBCNews post's that Ghislaine Maxwell has the Corona... posted dated July 11, 2020. They are a week ahead on the news.... 🌻

sanedrac123

Go ahead. You can DO it.

That's ridiculous....that office would require, experience, integrity, wisdom.....no wait, it actually never had that. Work away Kanye 🤪

Woww!! It seems stupid people will keep voting for stupid people for president again 😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

April fools in July and slavery was a choice? No thanks trumplican. Not gonna rack my mind with this stupidity.

This is just digging a hole in a crater.

zaharapop

Yawn

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

So, what's his election program? LOL. Teach his songs to everybody?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Congratulations

Stop it Kanye

So is his wife will support him by using her pussy to be a leader.

*shrug*

Good friend of trump. MAGA

His name must not have been trending lately. He had to do something to get people talking. Nobody and I mean nobody takes this guy seriously.

LOL , period

Sorry Kanye, but Biden is one of the best presidential candidates of all time.

It’s not news when a crazy person says crazy shit.

Would he speak or just use emojis in debates.

trash

What

Fucking helll. Stop giving this shit oxygen.

🤮

He’s mentally unstable and he hates black individuals, stating that slavery was a choice. Sooooo.... take a real hard look at who you’re voting for

He should drop an album expressing the corrosive effects of cancel culture instead

You're late. The wars already started

Have America not learned anything about last election?

awww look at him all smiling n happy🥰🥰🤢🥰🥰

Lol ye with the MAGA hat

He's bff's with Trump... Doesn't anyone else think if he is serious, he's doing it to help trump?! He will take votes away from Joe. I wouldn't even be surprised if this was a Hail Mary on part of the trump campaign since they're behind in the polls. Just a thought.

So?

It's only a plan to steal votes from Biden inorder to get Trump reelected

The primary votes are finished are they not and how in the world is he qualified maybe in the back of his mind he is qualified

Isn't he too late- at least for some.states?☹

cron0s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

kanyewest 2020VISION

F%ck it so am I then.

Can someone please make this nightmare in America end. Please...

He's still struggling with light switches

Bipolar much.

relep jaink.

New teeth; new cool.

MessedUpJack

H’okay

Nope, said he would not. Done.

KimKardashian First Lady. 🤣

NO THANK YOU!!!!!

So he is running as a vote siphon so his master Trump has a better chance, with the lives of US Soldiers and millions of infected Americans, the GOP thought this would be the way.

Good lord somebody make 2020 stop, I wanna get off now.....

One of the few people that are more delusional than the Chosen One.

🇺🇸😷Par for the course in 2020...I find out on Independence Day that my choices in November are Donald Trump, Joe Biden, & Kanye West. Murder Hornets 🐝 for VP?!?🇺🇸😷

Forget running for president. He needs to run to his pharmacist and re-up his meds.

Nogueira465

I’d much prefer the murder hornets, thank you.

Great use of your platform nonews

He’s a tool.

Why

Wearing a Trump hat he nor Trump or any current candidates will get my vote I have not voted once yet my entire life always felt candidates were not suited however I am king and a king should be at peace.

Can you please report news and not pr garbage. I get that this is a slow year for news but come on I’m sure there’s something real and tangible to report on.

He’s just feeling frisky now that Kim is a billionaire. Got to top her news story and all.

R I D I C U L O U S!!!!

Ha ha ha GREAT....GEORGE FLOYD Effect

America has far too many mega rich and narcissistic mental cases for one country.

I am going to run. POET AS PRESIDENT. Nah

Welcome to the 2nd half of 2020 🥱

why he have a maga hat on..

Just in time for nobody to care. Carrying on...

Oh pulleeese

The kartrashians take the White House!

Well we currently have a prostitute as a flotus so why not a flotus with one of the most watched sex tapes in history...

GiveKanyeAttentionAgain

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Musk supports West only to do damage to Biden. Musk is a die hard Republican who adores Trump (and possibly Jeffrey Epstein's teenage girl enterprises too).

It takes less than two seconds to retweet this, I sell Beard oil and balm, free shipping worldwide Customer is on your TL

prem_rajeshree

LMAO

Seeing as 99% of black people despise him this really ain’t a big deal lol

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why would the guardian use a photoshopped pic like that?

LOLOLOLLLL!!!!!

Because of course, this is the kind of year we are having.... I am still hoping this is a massive joke...

Jajajajaja ... oh no , thinking about it , if Reagan and Trump won , even this clown could

Hmm. Platform? Education? Hmm. To my US friends and relatives...is that the best you have?

Don't cover this buffoonery please

Good luck with that its 2020 now dickhead

Lol

🙄

At this point having no President at all is the right way for the USA to go.

What z he feeding on lately.Which social addiction that z taking atoll on him?

He could win.. in Zimbabwe

In cahoots with Trump to split the Democrat vote and let orange man through for the win - clever as

Gross.

Who do you vote for?

He will run against Joe? Kanye will be humiliated big time when he loses to Joe he's a rapper fgs please vote Joe keep Kanye OUT

Let see him debate.

He has been bribed to divide the votes of black people. Foolish guy

Who gives a horse's shitpile

why not?

This makes no sense. He’s not qualified.

Go Kanye Go

. . . Um, what is a Kanye West?

All he needs is some large group of voters who believe him. That happens a lot lately.

Haven't we suffered enough?

Now I ain't saying he's a Covdigger

stunt to take away votes from Biden. Any votes for this clown is a vote for the orange clown.

Ffs god help America

No chance

A good development

Please quit promoting this. He is a Trump supporter who is looking to steal Dem votes.

i will NEVER betray my president by voting for anybody that he doesnt want ,, even kanye west so please KEEP DREAMING leftists 🤣🤣🤣

Keeping up in the white house

Trump & Kanye trying to split the vote so Trump gets re-elected . . .

I can see Simpson prediction getting true

Still a better candidate.

Trump is plotting.

Trash...
