Kanye West breaks with Pres. Donald Trump, claims the 2020 run is not a stunt.

and said the two share “dragon energy,” tells Forbes that he is “taking the red hat off” — a reference to Trump’s trademark red “Make America Great Again” cap.

In a story published Wednesday, West also insisted that his weekend announcement that he’s running for President was not a stunt to drum up interest in an upcoming album. Forbes spoke to West from his ranch near Cody, Wyoming, in what the magazine called “four rambling hours of interviews.” West, who says he’s been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, often referred to himself in the third person and claimed he was “one of the most powerful humans” although acknowledged there were “a lot of alien level superpowers.”

He said if he won the presidency, he would model his White House on the fictional land in “Black Panther,” saying “Let’s get back to Wakanda.” West has already missed the deadline to qualify for the ballot in several states, and it’s unclear if he has the ability or willingness to collect the signatures required to qualify in others.

God help us all. American is doomed.

Bone head.

There’s one born every day...

He's off his medications !

next

It’s either a stunt that Trump put him up too to divide the vote, or he is off the meds..anyone’s guess?

C'mon, Kanye!! It is at least but nothing more than a publicity effort. Where's your platform?

Omg stop with this bs

No, just the actions of a self centered narcissistic clueless unhinged individual. We already have one of those in office, so no thanks to that mistake again. Don’t be fooled, this clown is still closet buds with the orange foil and is just trying to siphon votes from Biden.

Make sure you take your medicine. Now go hang out with your family.

He needs to get out of the way!!.

Just another ego driven clown.

Pains me to see a smart man ignoring the dangers of turning a beloved country into Marxism/socialism system. I wander what he think he is going to get. Here goes Gap brand.

😂😂😂

Just stop this bullshit. Are you going to be taken in by this scam

kanyewest So you inform them of instability with Mental health and they're supposed to let you run the country Not realistic!! But there are some ignorant people that would vote in your favor.

2 Samuel 22:29 For Thou art my Lamp, O LORD: and The LORD will Lighten my darkness Clearly show us YOUR Will for our time, talents and resources, so we can better serve YOU, and others, JESUS

Smart all the ignorant blacks will see is a black man running. The smart blacks are already voting for the president

Last I heard, although they failed with trump, that mental stability is part of a presidential candidates health check.

He’s trying to split the vote for his good buddy trump

Sorry we need a Pres who know knows what they're doing

Except it is a stunt.

Our political system needs to become more democratic. It needs to be easier for good people to run for office at every level. Political parties with their power brokering primaries that ruined lawmaking in the USA

If Kanye won, he would lose his handsome good looks in less than two years. He is better off with the religious mission that he started.

Lier

“But His Emails”, yes I am being sarcastic, national press please stop. Over 130,000 people are dead from COVID 19, 45 is trying to make babies, kids and young adults return to unsafe schools and we still don’t have enough test and PPE, please cover these matters.

Hoax!

Stop with the fake news.

How is he taking away votes from Biden, and he is a register Republican?

Don’t be fooled, he is taking away votes so trumppy can wins!!! LETS VOTE TRUMP OUT!!!!

Just when you think the Nation of fools could not get any more stupider. Bang they can.

And who in their right mind actually vote for this man

Give him meds. Not air time.

The news outlets would serve our country better if they would not cover these people. We would not be in the mess we are if not for the media’s fascination with trump in ‘15 and ‘16.

Silly

Sure he did. Pulling the black vote much. Does he think people are really that stupid?

The fact you cover this pathetic half wit is so lame. Are you that desperate for clicks? Smh.

Kanye get back on your meds!

Oh come on! Breaks with trump? Ha! They are pulling a “Jill Stein”. Look at the $$ Wear got from the relief fund. Smells like a payoff.

This dude can’t go away fast enough

This unit is certified nut- YE! Wtf?

What a mad fool vote diluter

It's a stunt.

Not a stunt yeah right ...and Madonna is still a virgin lol.

Great news hope ABC CNN MSNBC all get behind Kanye - imagine Kim Kardashian as First Lady- hysterical but just the type of news story they will put on and on again and again- good lucky - you’ve got Sleepy Joe and Kanye lol

Wow! Just wow! Cause2020

If Orange can be POTUS, then anyone can - even kanyewest. The bar is at the lowest. Hey 'Murka, Idiocracy movie was not an instruction manual. Please snap out of it! -- Thanks, Rest of the world.

Can you imagine kanye with his finger on the nuclear launch button and his wife whispering in his ear “Do it, baby” 😱

It’s about time America re-evaluated the whole “anyone can’t be president” thing

MK Ultra 😳

It doesn’t matter what this guy does or not, what he thinks or not, either way it’s idiotic.

Oh good. I thought i was intelligent and stuff but im just a stupid peon and i should have known better huh? Better get back to looking after our farms now

No thanks! One genius has been more than we can bear

🥴💩

Kanye West should really stop trying to be a spoiler and take votes from Biden. He should wake up and support the Democratic nominee. Now is not the time for playing around. Now is the time to unite behind Joe Biden. Obama already endorsed Biden and that says everything!

Is this article like legitimate?

Not true.. trying to help ur buddy win

It’s a stunt ! I don’t trust this guy...

Bwahahahahahaha! 😂 😂 😂

But a joke

Waste of a vote as far as reality is concerned Sorry kanye west.

KimKardashian come get ya man

Serenity now!!!

Such a waste of space

Good. I hope he gets all the black votes. That’ll keep Biden out of the WH. Can’t thank Kanye enough.

Now may I ask you ? Are you sure you want to run to mama or to be a President of what ?

This is not a President

This is A PRESIDENT A REAL ONE

Kindly drink like two bottle of Bourbon or Whiskey or whatever you can find to relax you and sleep it over United State of America is NOT a JOKE Country . This Country need a serious leader who knows how to do a Job as a Leader and your

Time waster

It’s not a stunt...it’s game theory.

Kanye NO THANK U

Kanye has less than 4 months before election day

Try voting for once 🙄 43 and never voted is SHAMEFUL.

Pleas , do not give him coverage.

It should be! What are his qualifications? Who does he think he is, Jay-Z or Sean Combs? He’s not on any ballots & how many people are going to write his name in? He really needs to shut up & sit down. No longer buying any of his clothes!

Is this shit funny to you? With your, Lifestyles of the rich and famous!

STOP GIVING HIM AIR TIME.

Well, it certainly rhymes.

It may not be a stunt, but it is a joke....

Give back your stimulus money 'Mr. Billionaire '

All kidding aside, I hope his family has the courage to get him help.

It is a stunt, stop reporting it

Please, please just go away!!!

I need some alien level superpowers!

If he hasn't filed the required paperwork to be a candidate, he's nothing more than a kook that left his tin foil hat at home. So stop swinging that shiny object.

this is not newsworthy, it does clicks and impressions. Please stop looking to get views, replies, and views. Ask yourselves, does the public NEED to know this? Then don't publish! Same goes for all of the MSM

Nut case kanyewest

Damn 🤦‍♀️

West needs to just crawl back under the rock he came from

God please not another idiot in the Oval Office. Do I need to sign my soul over to Satan to stop this? Or just pray real real hard? Whatever I have to do I’ll do it. Please God no more idiots!

Not a stunt, but a freaking joke!!!

Nope no way!

Stick to your music.

I get this sense of this thing with kanye and trump had to go something like this; trump:Kanye you have to sell this thing to make it work! I want you to act like you and I are not friends any more. Really sell that, you sell that. kanye: yes boss.🧐

I smell bullshit

Joke

He hasn't broken with Trump. This is a scam to draw black votes away from Biden. Plain and simple.

Not a stunt, just a circus now😂

Everything that yahoo DOES is a stunt! His entire life is a dull, one-act drama to impress himself and deceive the rest of the world.

Stop. Paying. Attention. To. This. Fool.

He can't get on the ballot in at least 6 states, this late in the game. It's a publicity stunt.

kanyewest if you don’t sit yo ol bipolar head ass down.... “let’s get back to Wakanda” 😂 man I swear 🤦‍♀️

No one cares about kanye west.

Uh you are not registered to run ace.

Like we belive him are even respect him look at how his wife dresses so how are we to leave and respect him in any circumstance when he lets his wife lower rate herself and him and his children by the way she dresses

Stop it Kanye?

Stay focus people!

Kanye West can beat Donald Trump as a write in candidate. He better get busy. Now!!

I think the less attention we give this the better off we all are. Nightmare 9999999

Bullshit, like like his yeezycrap

finally he got his sense

What are the odds that Kayne and Trump have a deal for Kayne to try to draw votes away from Biden? Both he and Kim have met with Trump extensively. What deal did he make with them?

We already have one narcissistic, delusional whack job in the White House; WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER ONE!! Another thing to consider: the KarTRASHian family running amok in the W.H.! PLEASE vote for Joe!!

Doesn’t he have an album coming out? Ignore this fool

Bye

🤡🤡🤡

Good move...means you don’t like everything about him... whatever he is doing now...

His entire life is a stunt. He’s a fake.

Zzzzzz

Who cares what Kanya says. He is nobody Nobody

Give back that PPE money, you jerk!!

This isn’t a story and Kanye is a joke

Please, to all responsible journalists, stop reporting this story. Ballot access is more stringent than waking up one morning and announcing you are going to run for president.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Just kidding !

You can start by giving back your PPP money. Get a blue JoeBiden

Let’s do this. kanyewest Jorgensen4POTUS RockTheDebate

He thinks he is black.

Quit giving him attention!

Yes it is because Kanye is a neurotic manic depressive. Scary

If he cared about the future of this country and it’s people, he’d shut the f¥€k up.

Who cares.

He's with the fairys

Stop giving this clown publicity

Breaks.. lol

Lol

Breaking News: Deluded back muscian thinks he can split the black vote in favor of his deranged spiritual leader

We will be ready for him!

kanyewest is a big fat liar. Its all a spoiler.

Please God dont let him become president

It will hurt Biden more than it’ll hurt Trump

Oh crap!

It will be a 1st. 1st first lady sex tape. Ray j for vice president?

Helping Trump Deflect

Kanye West is in a cult.

Ignore him. And Trump please resign.

Pray for west he has lost his way

Tons of votes coming your way Kanye writeinkanye

Finally, ABC likes Kanye.

Nut job

Bullshit

He hasn't broken with Trump. He's attempting to take votes away from Biden to help Trump get reelected.

Bullshit, he’s only doing this to help trump

He's crazy!

We already have a 🤡. We don’t need another.

Who fucking care

For the love of god would you please stop writing about this clown?

BS

Don't give him any attention. Shhhh. He's narcissistic like Trump

Stories like this are why I walked away from ABC News 4 years ago. Tabloid journalism doesn't intrest me.

So hes going to take voters away from Biden- Brilliant!

Has he filed papers to run? What party? Sounds like more crazy talk from Kanye

kanyewest is a joke. He cannot win. There are four states that have closed the ballot already. The amount of staffing he needs are not there. The only way he can the staffing he needs is with serious help from the GOP. This is a stunt to try and draw support from Biden.

Get off the stage already! Your alliance one day to all about you the next! You are as phony as a $3 bill!!🤣💥

🤪🤣

He obviously has to 'break' with TRUMP if he's gonna run for Prez. It would make no sense if he didn't.

This, is also a stunt.

Kanye gets my votes.

How many times has he broken with Trump now

Let him spend his money. Millions of it. The money he should have spent to pay his employees instead of getting a PPP loan.

I am considering voting for him or writing him in kanyewest

He needs to take his meds

I wouldn’t be half surprised if Trump asked him to run. This will probably channel at least a percent or two from Biden giving our madman in chief a chance at victory once again.

OMG the GOP choices are an egomaniacal game show host, realDonaldTrump or the egomanical singer, kanyewest? And they think the DNC's is the poor choice. Hahahaha too funny.

KardashianFamilyValues MrKimKardashian

You wouldn’t have to worry about him,”Taking votes from Biden” if the party had elected a decent candidate🤷‍♂️

Please stop giving this guy more attention!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ya sure!! Who set it all up?

Oh but it IS a stunt. He might not think it is, but to everyone else, it is.

He's actually late on deadlines and fees so...pay up.

And if a Democrat doesn’t vote for him, you’re racist. I was told that for Obama so those standards apply now. Let’s see how many on the left are racist.

Everyone else does. Nobody alive wants the Kardashians in the White House. Omg like, really , like, omg, literally omg, like does this make us look stupid or like literally what?

blexit. Black exit from the democratic party. Listen to what we have to say.

TRUMP 2020 TRUMP 2020 TRUMP 2020 TRUMP 2020 TRUMP 2020 TRUMP 2020 TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸 💪 🙏⭐⭐💰💰👍💕💕💕

Zzzzzzzzzzzz russian distraction

Please take him out the news cycle....its all bs!

so he is not on the ballot so they either write him in or he is just wasting time and money

KimKardashian give kanyewest his meds please!

He is a bipolar narcissist.

Please!!!

Guess who is Trump new loser ?

Mrs. Yeezy needs to stage an intervention and get him back on his meds. He has 4 beautiful children who don’t deserve a mentally ill daddy.

Wow. Now the msm says we have 3 with dementia

No Thank you. Im Voting for Biden

Plz MSM.. ignore him

VoteGold JoJo All of your freedoms, all of the time

Oh pleazzzzz!

Jesus. Just stop. 🤦‍♀️ I can’t take one more ounce of stupidity.

This is going to be a “Ross Perot” of Kanye tweets.. “I break with trump...” A week later “I love and feel Donald Trump...”

Now that he's got his money, sure.

😑

B.S.

Get me a Russian passport! I can’t stand this anymore!

It is not a stunt and a greatest marketing ploy ever!

Its a stunt.

He needs to have several seats and stfu

It’s definitely a stunt to sell some ugly clothing!

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

He has NOT broken from trump. He is helping trump

I'm black and I don't want to see you f****** our streak as far as presidents of color that we love

He’s such a dummy

Has he filed with the FEC yet?

He has to be better than Biden

No one gives a shit about Kanye.

He’s trying to help trump by taking votes away from Biden... trump and west have been best buddies and no doubt came up with this idea to get the black and brown votes away from Biden...

Syphen off voters helping trump

This is Kanye and Trump working together, in hopes of pulling the African American vote from Biden.

SAYS he broke with a Trump. SAYS HE DID THIS. abcnews this is worse than sloppy journalism. If you can’t report correctly close your news divisions right now. Now I will block your stupid butts.

Imagine the slogan; Kanye 2020 'This is not a stunt'

Kanye West breaks with Pres. orange man, claims the 2020 run is not a stunt.

BULLSHIT

He must be dropping a new album within the next couple of weeks

Kayne got a bunch of money from the PPP program...he liked Trump for that....

Stop covering this.

Yeah, Right!

This is not news. Have you not learned anything?

That’s just further proof that he is an idiot.

His desire to be president is as authentic as his recent discovery of God

What the hell does he even KNOW about politics?

Can we please ignore this idiot!!

Nothing has been filed with the FEC. He’s too late to get on the ballot in Texas and Florida. This is a publicity stunt. Please stop covering it. Cover why trump has now been briefed about the Russian bounties and appears to not be doing anything about it? Ask him daily

I say go for it, we conservatives are a loyal bunch. The only votes he is taking is those away from that pedo joebiden

Ignore.

To vote for this clown is to throw away a perfectly good vote - avoid the circus 🤡

America will get the President it votes for. Plain and simple. If this silly nonsense ‘splits the vote’, the joke is on the American people. Again. The rest of the world is fast losing interest in the stupidity of the American ‘democratic process’. It’s a bigger joke than Kanye.

One, serieus?😂🤣😂 You really have your head in the clouds. Next lesson. kanyewest

Lol !!!

It’s a stunt and Kanye West is a self obsessed joke.

Stop talking about this

Someone needs to explain to him and his followers that any vote for Kanye is just a vote for the current duffus.

Well, congratulations to Donald Trump for winning this upcoming election once again. If I was Trump, I wouldn't even be worried anymore. Trump has this whole election in the bag thanks to this buffoon..😩

Who cares. You’re unqualified

Love me some Kanye.

kanyewest We the people do not want another dangerously incompetent person to play at president. You and Traitor Don need to up your meds.

He’s Friends with trump trying to split the left vote to help trumper! ProjectLincoln nbc CBSNews WSJ nytimes SO FRICKIN OBVIOUS! KingJames LEBRON, talk to Kanye so he doesn’t split the vote!

Daddy issues!

He craves attention. Stop covering this fool just for your own ratings. He is distracting from real issues. He is Trump.

No reason for you to be running this story until he completes the paperwork to run.

Who’s Kanye West?

Why am I seeing this on my feed? There are so many other topics that you can cover.

Oh stop it.. he's not even registered in any state, filled out any type of paperwork or even has a donor PAC.

-Kanye is gonna set himself on fire... -Stop!!

It's so obvious that this is not only a publicity stunt but also a way for Kanye to jump off the Trump Train.

And as of yet has filed zero paperwork. Stop giving this credence. You just look silly

If you think Donny boy is a narcissist and habitual liar etc. Ha ha.....🤣

its a stunt

Stop giving him attention please!

Kanye West is mentally ill. We can't take him seriously. Can we all move our focus back to things of grave inportance?

Shut up kanyewest

ABC needs to stop giving this guy a “voice”.

ignorekanye

I don’t trust America’s gag reflex enough to just laugh at this and blow it off. Even if it is a PR stunt, our electorate is capable of falling for it.

boy bye he needs to be on 11 states ballot and anyone that waste there time with this ass hat well....

It is to divide black voters away from Biden

Stop giving this shit oxygen everyone. He didn’t file paperwork, he’s not qualified, and you’re doing exactly what you did for Trump in 2016 by continuing to talk about this stupidity. Forbes

Another narcissist, no thanks!

Just stop. Seriously.

I’m still choosing Paris over Kayne

The issue is you don't have a campaign or experience and you are not stable we just had that I don't care that you are black 💯

Paid by Reps

There are more important things to post. Don't give Kanye any oxygen.

Whatever. SMH

It is but he doesnt know that apparently lol

And no one cares! JS

🙄

Curious what he's talking about 'alien powers..'

Why are you legitimizing this clown Have you learned nothing!!?

Stop covering this bs.

It's not a stunt, Kanye is just off his meds again

ABC News and all the other media outlets...why are you covering & giving free publicity to this man who is out there for the attention, yet you barely report on alleged Russian bounties on American troops? Unbelievable, just as bad as Fox or OAN on the opposite spectrum.

Is he funding his campaign with the $2-$5 million his company received from the PPP?

Of course bc the Birthday Party is legit...

STOP COVERING THIS UNTIL HE FILES PAPERWORK. FUCK.

LAWD!!!!!GIVE ME STRENGTH...

MAGA idiots should vote for Kanye!

He’s got bipolar disorder. I’m wondering if he’s stopped taking his meds. Seriously.

He will decimate Dementia Joe. He is looking to pull the Black vote for a Black candidate. He is right.

Five people will vote for him. Wait and see.

Yeah right😂😂😂😂

BIDEN 2020 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two guys with mental illness and one in the throes of dementia, what could go wrong?

It’s a stunt.
