Apropos of nothing immediately apparent other than the national holiday, Kanye West took to social media Saturday night to announce that he is running for president… in 2020. “We must n…

Some on Twitter greeted the announcement with a degree of skepticism about West’s real intentions of mounting an independent campaign this close to election day. Not among the skeptics, though: Elon Musk, who tweeted in response: “You have my full support!”West’s own website bore no information about a presidential run as of this writing. Neither does his Instagram account, which has as its newest entry a three-day-old photo of himself with Musk.

This does, at least for the moment, seem to settle the question of whether West intends to vote for Donald Trump in the fall, as he has suggested he would, as one of the foremost Black supporters of the president in recent years.Ty Dolla Sign Returns With ‘Ego Death,’ Featuring Kanye West, Skrillex and FKA Twigs

kanyewest No pregunten eso.

kanyewest I like presidents who aren’t Bipolar

kanyewest Nope

kanyewest Sure he can but he better organize fast. Filing deadlines for independents on the November ballot have already passed in several states and will pass in the vast majority states by the end of august. He’ll need volunteers in 40+ states collecting signatures by like tomorrow

Nobody Cares!

kanyewest No 🙄

kanyewest Please stop talking about this

kanyewest don’t care

kanyewest

kanyewest

kanyewest Wrong question to ask tbh...anyone can be president...it’s a question of IF he can WIN....which depends a lot on how he’s going to do this

kanyewest Nowadays any mentally unstable can, so yes!

kanyewest

kanyewest Sure why not? He is a rich rapper with a billionaire wife. If an apprentice star ran then why can't Kanye? Doesn't mean he going to win.

kanyewest The man who said slavery was a choice. The man who supports a racist who locks kids up, wants to take healthcare away, who called coronavirus a hoax, who calls black athletes SOB, who lets Russia put a bounty on American soldiers? That man? Hell NO!

kanyewest Fvck Kanye!

kanyewest

kanyewest Only God knows

kanyewest Uh... how about addressing the question you pose in your tweet? Can he?

kanyewest I want vote for him if you gave me a million dollars, He is a very sick man

kanyewest People,stop this BS

kanyewest If narcissism is a requirement to run, he certainly could 🥴😒😔

kanyewest Is it all about his ego, or an attempt to drain black votes from Biden to help Trump?

kanyewest Let’s see his tax returns first.

kanyewest Compared to the other candidates? Question answered

kanyewest Are you kidding? He's nuts.

kanyewest

kanyewest Why are we entertaining his ignorance

kanyewest He's a Russian stooge

kanyewest He can run 1 meter!

kanyewest Maybe. But he can’t win. So it’s pointless distraction from an important race at a pivotal time

kanyewest ignoreKanye

and you did this for what?

Thought he'd be too busy running YAZZY FO GAP. Probably.. Using the POTUS game to build BRAND RECOGNITION. It seems someone else did that recently. ?

he everyone, i am running for President, anyone else have a need for publicity?

He wants to take votes from Biden. That's it.

ignorehim

Just what we need another bipolar narcissist i office

wtf

President of Kardashianstan

We already knew that four years ago

😂😂😂😂

Call this number and ask for Justin Amash. kanyewest

The ONLY reason this idiot would run for President...is an attempt to take as many black votes away from Biden, thank GOD our African American voters aren’t that gullible go BLM !!!!

Predicting mass emigration out of the U.S if he somehow wins.

This is starting to feel like Jacob’s Ladder. Please wake me if I’ve spiraled into madness.

He’s crazy enough!!!☘️☘️☘️☘️

First Lady Kim!!!

Ross Perot, American business magnate

Dolt.

I swear we need this poor man on medication.

And I am saying, most definitely in earnest, f**k Kanye2020

Like we need another narcissist.

Go away Kanye. kanyewestisoverparty

love that this had to have the caveat 'seemingly in earnest'

Only a fool would vote Republican in November.

Is this guy really still relevant Or am I just too old and too white?

And I’m VP. Deal with it.

Maybe never buy another album of his if you’re a democrat.

Kanye is far better than Trump and Joe Biden.

Nah!

Hell it's like we have the patients from 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' running now (Biden accepted). Where's nurse Rachett when we need her?

This IS the one thing 2020 was missing. More Kanye

what the fu ck

What the hell?

No thanks

Yes, very earnest.

I mean it’s Kanye, but it’s sure as shit a lot better of an option than Trump or Biden

We’re all fucking doomed!

Let me guess...he has an album dropping

Seemingly in Earnest should be his next album title.

Dear God no!

😂😂😂😂

Kanye has this permanent look on his face, the lights are on but no one's home.

Presidential candidates should be required to have at least a master's degree and at least 5 years holding a public office position. Let's weed out the idiots, we do not need anymore morons with 2 brain cells winning elections.

Qualifications to lead a country of this size? 🤔😂 KanyeWest POTUS

Kanye and Kim, everything they do is for money and attention and money. kanyewestisoverparty

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

He’s just hoping to siphon off some young black votes away from Biden to help his friend Trump win re-election.

🤣🤣🤣 AS IF!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

kanye

Nope

He’s already missed the filing deadlines in NY, TX, NC, IN, NM & MN so good luck with that.

he's a trump supporter Just wants to take away votes from Biden do you want another 'reality' ''Star'' as faux president?

Stop

I guess KimKardashian isn’t going to become a lawyer this year either then.

His expression in this photo is the only appropriate reaction to the news

A lousy second act. This script 2020 needs a page one rewrite.

Bitch, please. 😒

How much can the world take this 2020?

No thanks

What a joke.

I wouldn’t elect him president of the PTA.

... because the current screw-up isn't enough. 🇺🇸✌️

His inspiration must be Manoj Tiwary who ran for Delhi elections

Why even write about this bullshit?

I hope he does. He'll win easily. I know this because every Democrat I know keeps saying we MUST have a person of color leading American to unite us (like Obama did). So they can't judge him not suitable. He's black. To not vote for him is to expose your systemic racism.

What? This year? It's to late for that! 😆 This is a parady.

Well, if he is running as an independent he has already missed the filling date in 5 States and has just about 10 days to get the signature and paperwork or he'll miss it in 3-4 other states. So to say this is a real true campaign? I doubt it.

shellpartduex another one with delusions...

okay kanye

😂 seemingly in earnest

get this bull💩off my timeline.

Don’t care

and if my Aunt had ball's she'd be my Uncle🤣 😂 🤣

He wants to help Trump win, by being a ticket splitter.

Please don't encourage him.

Kanye believe that guy?

Hell yeah

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a backdoor deal with trump to take some young/black voters

let the Biden camp say it, 'You can't vote for him, it will help Trump' - whats new, a democrat telling the black community who they must vote for.

he's being manipulated by Trump and provides a pathway for Trump to win the presidency.

Kanye running for president is just another cry for help from someone suffering from mental illness.

Whaaaaaaaaattttt
