Kanye West dont waste your money, no one will vote for your sorry ass.

No kayne west you are getting out ur Lane,we already have a clown in the White House surely don't need to add to it, do what ever you do best but not the White House!

He is disgusting

Hey why not. Me too.

God, please, no.

he got his money from Trump admin...that's it!

This guy has about as much business be president as I do flying a helicopter upside down 3 ft off the White House front lawn. No More Celebrities For President.

You must be really bored. All that fame and fortune really doesn't satisfy some souls. I'd take a trip around the world. Oh yeah, COV19. How about some quality time with your family? Learn to grow a garden. Very satisfying. Just sayin

Lamo, you're a joke west. You're as bad as trump. Dont waste you're time.

Does he not know we need every vote for Joe! A few stray votes for others actually works in the orange cult leaders favor.

And I am 100% sure the GOP will embrace him as the new leader of MAGA if Trumps numbers continue to slide down!

Let’s please ignore this psychopath

So why are you covering this? It’s not news unless he filed paperwork to get in a ballot somewhere. The media needs to do its job not just amplify celebrity BS on Twitter.

He wanted to be God now president 😳.’

Wait till 2024

F him

He probably saw Trump and was like “OMG, Mom was right, any ole dumbass can be President. Why not me?”.

Do you think he just woke up one morning and was like, “well, I’m done fucking over Taylor Swift, might as well move on to the USA”?

crummy trump tactic to plant a write in idea. really hope America isn’t that dumb. shame on you kw

Since he hasn’t even filed to be on the ballot, how about y’all give some coverage to JoJorgensen2020, she’s already on the ballot in all 50 states and a legitimate candidate

Stop running insignificant Bull Crap, and people need to calm down. Black people don't just vote for candidates, because they're black. Kanye is a CLOWN. He won't be the savior trump, and GOP are hoping for.

Another nutjob.

Lmaooooo

Trying to take the black vote. So obvious.

If there were only a test required

Another attempt to get attention.

Is this even worthy of a news story?

God forbid to have another unqualified Nutjob in the Oval Office When we haven't God ridd to current one.

Delusional 👀

Trump probably called him. It's time to return that favor! (Wink)

Oh, yeah, he’s been groomed to run the Nation.

So is it just publicity or an attempt to split the Black vote? Because let’s face it, they’re our only hope here.

The twit wants attention to his imbecility.

cause he is the neediest man on the planet and wanted some attention

Go away

And missing most states deadlines but whatever FEC

🤣

AlfonsoAGP GOP is a joke. Kanye or Tucker Carlson.

Genius

Lol 😀

🚫🤦⚡😥🖕💥😤

Oh god. So many idiots are going to vote for him if it actually gets on the ballot. Or they'll just write him in. God this is so dumb. Why do we have to be so dumb.

kanyewest is a moron 😂

Stop giving that moron air time! Nothing but a publicity stunt agreed with the TraitorInChief trying to support bunkerboy to get re-elected!

a vote for Kanye or whoever noncandidate you may write in may as well be a vote for trump. This presidential election is a binary election.

STOP GIVING THIS SYCO FREE PRESS.

Ploy to sell music

Isn't it to late

Because he’s smart and organized. Ready to roll!

🤮🤮🤮

Dinkey Duckin Donald attempt to put a spoiler in to try to draw black voters from Biden. Sorry Donald, Black America recognizes the Oreo for what he is.

When 2024-0

What a friggin joke

Kanye is telling us...he still has a long list of personal issues to deal with...believe him

I’m surprised Kim couldn’t talk him out of it.

Kanye is as influential as Trump. Sharing similar traits such as being huge religious hypocrites and malignant narcissists. This is pure publicity and strategy to take votes from Biden. He should not be playing with his fans (BTW I am not one of them) KanyeIsATool TrumpIsLosing

I too am running for president!

To Hell with that idiot.

Does he have music coming out? A clothing line that no one wants?

Who’s dumber? Trump or Kanye?

So we first we elect an obese orange shitstain that needs professional help for this highly emotionally disturbed person that needs meds that refuses to take meds both of their wives have showed us everything and I do mean everything

Hook, Line & Sinker 😎

...probably a joke, the MSM fall for Trumps jokes all the time.

Who cares? This man is mentally disabled.

He will waste thousands of votes on himself. And we will continue in this divide

Doucebag

I'm moving to Iraq

mental illness

He could get more write-in votes than Mickey Mouse!!

Can we all agree he is an idiot?

Kanye and Cuban must wsnt Trump back in office, joke will be on America.

Oh please

So my 16 year old politically passionate son comes down and says “so I guess the plan is for Kanye to take away key votes from Biden and guarantee a win for his buddy Trump”

He’s a joke and a loser

Stay in your lane please

He is testing the waters.

Great. The Republican Party needs someone to run against Drumpf.

Another crazy in government. Don’t we have enough now?

Crazy

Somebody is looking for attention.

President of what?

This is great news, hope he keeps his promise.

WTF hopefully you know he is just looking gir attention for his new “business” RIGHT? WTF WTF

😳

Why are you covering this🇺🇸

He's off his meds again!

IDIOCRACY

He is Bi-Polar and notorious for not taking his meds. What can happen with him as President 🙄

The man who has never voted? The man who doesn't know how to register to vote?

He will get one vote....his wife's

Pure clown car frivolity that closely matches Donald Trump Each state has different laws to get an individual’s name on a presidential ballot But! If you dear reader would like to see you name on your state’s presidential ballot either pay the fee or get 5000 signatures

Looking forward to Kim K doing ass selfies in the Oval Office.

He may go into a deep depression when this is over. Watch out Kim, crazy day ahead.

Sometimes people think you can just say stuff and it happens. 🤷‍♀️

So he’s trying to help out Donald Trump. Good luck with that.

Idiot !

He is insane. Everyone knows this.

Another tRump puppet to the rescue...

There are rules?

He’s just going to run up to the podium on Election Day and try to take it over from there.

Weird!🙄

Does he have an album coming out or a video or trying to promote his wife because this is utter bullshit

Time to walk away from America! If this is what your choices are for President no wonder the World is laughing at you!

Bet he actually believes he deserves to win

Yes, ye. Just what we need. Another 'lady' who is cutting herself to look like Cher.

Just goes to prove the point that ANYONE can run for president, and sometimes they win. Biden2020 BlueWave2020

He is off his meds again.

He's so smart he's running without being on the ballot. Wonder where he's running to?

Stop that's what trump wants you to do! That will take votes away from Joe! If you do that Kanye we will hate you!! Don't don't be trump's puppet like he used you before!for black vote and you played right into his hands don't be a dummy!!! Vote Biden

Sure!! Perfect! Let's have another INSANE CANDIDATE/incumbent running. It takes no skill to run the U.S. Govt. into the ground, obviously. Look at our present unskilled, insane person running U.S. into the ground now a la Putin/Barr/McConnell/tRumpo! Thank YOU! COMRADES.

It is now official. I despise him

Who cares, just another distraction

He didn’t mention2020. Right? 2024 maybe?

Just suppose to hurt Biden thus helping tRump.

The man seems to be crazy🤪

Is he manic? I believe he has bipolar disorder. I would question his mental state, and just as I don’t support Trump due to his his mental shortcomings and personality disorders, Kanye shouldn’t be an option either IMO

Nothing says your country is in freefall like this

DO NOT RESUSCITATE THIS TWEET!

He's just a damn pain in the ass!

What a Joke!! NO THANKS WE ALREADY HAVE A CLOWN IN OUR WHITE HOUSE👺👺👺🤐🤐

Jajajaja

Kanye West and Tucker Carlson in one day. Make it stop.

Yeah we need to dumb our country down even further than present state idiocracy.

😂😂😂😂😂 What an idiot

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

Just another trump supporter who lies

Just noise

A closer examination of his taxes by the IRS will collapse his idiotic house of card.

Who the uckfay cares!

Stupid - one person who had no political background and has done enough damage to our country is enough WE DONT NEED ANOTHER JACK ASS.

Let’s not give this horse s**t any oxygen, OK?

Only goal.... Aim for voters...who will written him in Aim....drain support from democrats

Another stable genius. Just what we need.

He was probably wearing his MAGA hat while he tweeted that.

Doubt he will.

The key : 'apparently without having filed with the FEC' Kanye is 'running' to launch a new album. Simple!

This is a Trump ploy, Kanye is trying to help Trump take votes.... open your eyes they are friends

Why not, the reality show guy is now in the WH. It appears 35% of our country support these types of candidates.

Ignore Kanye.

IF you don't see this as a favor he's doing for his friend Trump and you do throw your vote away on West over Biden. Then you might as well be republican.

He has about as many qualifying traits as Obama.

So ignore it. Not serious. Move on please n

Enough said 🙄

We know you are paid by trump just to steal the black votes from JoeBiden but yet you won’t get enough total votes to beat trump, just helping him win, you traitor don’t believe the hype people.

Another 'genius'? The country can't stand under all of this BS.

Stop reporting this chump-engineered distraction.

IGNORE THIS STUPID DISTRACTION AND WATCH THE SHENANIGANS GOING ON IN THE WH!

Go away!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes because he knows he’ll get news media like yours to report this for him to confuse the voters why report something you know is not happening

Gee - ya think KrazyKanye2020 is Trumpian GOP campaign idea to 'lure' black voters? Stable jenius stuff right here!

I’m running for president please donate to help me win50.00 100.00 or more would be nice in untraceable bill

Ignore him

He's a moron, and no one should vote for Trump 2.0.

Poor guy needs some serious intervention. He believes since a low IQ reality TV show host who was notorious for bankruptcies infidelities and corruption can do it he thinks he can as well. America got played once, I don’t think it will happen again.

We already have one nut job in the white house we don't need another one

Kanye is not running for president. He IS running for VP. Trump loves Kanye and will cast Pence aside while giving him $$$. Trump will do ANYTHING to win. The cult base will swallow hard and vote for a black man to keep the racist Trump in.

Deep thoughts by Kanye West....”My greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.”

It's a joke

Let him lose some of his dove.

Put Donald Trump and Kanye’s IQ’s together and they still can’t reach 85!!

Devin Nunes is going to be his running mate.

Nice attempt at splitting democratic vote, but one crazy is enough

time to tweak those meds

Because he’s not very bright

No, we dont need another cocky air head in the white house.

Ridiculous distractions. Paris HIlton has also 'announced.'

I'd rather poke red hot needles in my eyeballs than vote for kanyewest

JohnVetsResist1 Goodluck USA you're completely fucked now. If Kanye doesn't win Trump will be reelected. What is up with reality TV celebs running for politics? Put them back on TV so we can watch their fake lives on there not at the white house.

Ponder this for a moment, President Kanye West and First Lady Kim Kardashian? It’s insane, thank God it will never happen.

Twitter really needs a laugh button😂🖕😂

Please stop giving the trump wannabe attention!

What would Jeromey-romey-rome think?

He must be in a manic state again.

Hey, do a better job by never mentioning this again. We’ve already given one narrcisit enough attention for the rest of them. Forever.

How much insanity are we supposed to take?

Let’s see your financial paper for the last five years!

The only thing that would happen is that Donald tRump has a better chance of becoming 2 term president. Oct 12 2018 bizarre tRump Kanye meeting at White House. Think,vote, dump tRump!

Yes to split the black votes so Trump can get back in...they are of course making him do this.... welcome to paying titles to be in the Billionaires Club......remember the Mayors race in The Wire, or what happened to Harold Washington in Chicago.... Black Folks STAY WOKE!!!!

For heck sake. Can we at least alternate? Nut job, normal, nut job.

so he got a little too high yesterday; it was the fourth. i remember it was always a great reason to get blasted when i still drank.

People just don’t care about facts or process.....

Exactly, its just because he has an album coming out. This country is the dumbest

I'm God...up your journalism.

Kanye is less qualified than is Trump. Who's he kidding?

Wow that's super, can you just picture Kanye and the Kardashians in the WH?

Hold up, I’m gonna let him speak but I this is the DUMBEST most egocentric thing he has done. He is Trump in short form

He’s got qualified teeth for treasury sickretary

The black Trump

Distraction

Who cares. Forget this jerk. More important things to pay attention to like bounty on our Soldiers’ heads.

He’s manic.

President of what? It is Kanye after all- there could be a planet or country only he knows about... just sayin.

😄

OH NO....he has Democrats quaking in their boots!! He will steal the black vote from them OH NO....More hysteria from the left.....LOLOLOL Bye, Bye Democrats!!

“White privileged” turning on his own roots fkn fool

So embarrassing for Black folk who really are thirsty for change and recovery.

U think we have forgotten your little visit to the White House with Donald Trump? There is NO way that U will get the Black or Brown VOTES, U will be handing Donald Trump VOTES. We will be voting for Joe Biden. Can U believe Kanye? U Traitor was

Who in the fuck is Kanye West?

It would help Trump if people did vote for Kanye..

The 3rd time he’s done this; clearly another stunt. Just dumb.

I welcome a fat assed, low IQ person in the White House. It would be a nice change that it would be the first lady this time around.

Only in 2020!

I think he is off his drugs!!

Scared much politico?

For what he has nothing to offer

Why is it always the left that tries silence anyone they don't agree with. (Even concrete statues.) Let the guy run. kanye2020

Hmmm, taking advantage of the current black lives matter protests. Sounds like a good idea, i hope you're joking I mean of you're not, I'd rather vote for Trump for God's sake

Some 45 BS distraction

jimdicker It’s just a distraction so we don’t talk about Russia spaying for the heads of American soldiers

Shut up and Rap

There was a time when that would be the stupidest thing you heard in a single news cycle .Now meh...

Because he's not running, he's trolling for attention

It’s probably another one of his stunts because his narcissistic ass needs to feed his ego and/or a publicity for something coming up. Not unlike Trump who he is buds with.

Just when you thought things couldn't possibly get worse

Why are we giving this airplay? Who cares? Ignore him. It’s a distraction from the issues at hand. Now all the bs will start-will kanye take votes away from Biden? Yadda yadda. Don’t. Give. Him. Air. Time.

Complete BS!

Kanye is SUCH a JOKE!

Ploy to try and steal african american votes from the Dems.

No Way! Heck No! We Need Change in this country and we need Biden! Not more Trouble!

President of what?

He's not going to win.

Uhhhhh......no

Another incompetent narcissist

Who cares. Stop getting baited by narcissists.

Looks like Kanye needs some attention. Maybe Trump will replace Pence with him. 😄

Now he wants to help his PedoFriends 👊😡 he was planting from the start!

He needs help, seriously

Kanye West announced that he wants attention.

A narcissistic, histrionic has been trying to run this country for the last four years, how’s that working out for us 😏 TrumpIsLosing VoteTrumpOut

A MAGA monster trying to steal more votes for Trump. So ugly, a vote for This idiot is a vote for Trump!

Without having filed? He doesn't care about winning. He just wants the publicity.

Gee, the homeless man down the street doesn't get a politico story written about him when he rambles about running for president but this clown does...

JohnVetsResist1 Just wait til he misses his meds for a couple days.

Well what a surprise- another narcissist with money problems, bad music and cheap clothes. What in God’s name makes him think he could run a country? Please make this nightmare end. BidenHarris2020

Trying to take the black vote from Biden

Idiot

Can you not right now?! This is NOT NEWS. But it will be because you’re providing the platform.

The orange autocrat's narcissistic Trojan horse.

blah blah blah

And just think...he’s a FATHER!!! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Just one slight problem, getting on 50 States' ballots or going as a wright-in. Either way, this guy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He's not really coherent on politics so this could provide some needed comic relief.

Another BAFFOON

The same playbook his dad did over the years until he secured his skeletons won't come up during his campaign. Trump's son from another mother, paid close attention to dad, not liked his real sons. Wasttrump

😂🤣😂

There is no low the president won't go under. Trying to get your goon to steal votes won't work! And Kanye, no more picnics for you!

Just what we need another narcissistic sociopath in the White House.

President Obama on Kanye: 'He is a jackass'. It still applies.

Meds

Lol

he's trolling ya'll and ya'll fell for it just like you always do.

Well at this point, why not?

Media outlets need to stop giving this attention. Kanye is a megalomaniac w/ a very fragile ego, he seeks attention no matter the ramifications. So stop playing into this, there are larger, more important issues to focus on.

it’s called theatre. And haven’t we had enough of it these last three four yrs? Stop giving Kanyekrazy attention

Fuck this dude!

The man needs to go back on his meds.

This dude is such a joke...

Oh good grief. Who cares.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Obviously we need to get rid of reality TV!! It's obviously confusing people with REALITY!

GiveKanyeAttentionAgain (Actually, let’s not)

Gatorade our fields, Kanye..!!

Mental illness is not taken seriously in this Country.

🙄🙄🙄

Eye role!!!

Too many drugs?

Distraction. Why are we giving this traction

If this is real then i bet that hes only doing this because trump wants him to split the black vote. Regardless another narcissistic asshole is the last thing we need as president.

Another nutjob. Gee how interesting.

Can we just All ignore him?

He says alot of things.

Narrator: he doesn’t know what the FEC actually is.

Head west kanyewest to a remote island, isolate, remain...till silence becomes of you evermore.

If you are running, please run as a republican, kanyewest.

That right there... He knows nothing of politics! It’s FOR Trump. It’s the biggest DICK move ever! Does he even have an education?

So let’s stop paying this any attention

So we now need only the ' right black ' to make the Lincoln Projects acceptance list ?

The media has no credibility this is trump's desperation he turned to Kanye to take votes away from joe Biden in the black community this man is sick this is a ruse and the media fell for it.

Maybe for an album release?

We bigger things to deal with

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring for...the position of Santa Claus. 🎄🤶🎅

say goodnight Irene

This Kanye nonsense it to be ignored. BY EVERYONE! Looking at you news media.

President of jerks

🤪🤪😂😂

All talk...... Why waste digital print?

He is running for president of his twitter account

Maybe if we all play Golddigger on Spotify he’ll go away
