There is no word in the English language to adequately describe Kanye West’s presidential campaign

The candidate’s public participation in his own presidential campaign has consisted of one bizarre campaign rally, two interviews with Forbes, and some tweets. Other than that, West has simply signed paperwork and paid for professional signature gatherers to petition him onto the ballot. In fact, TMZ reports that West is currently in a “remote Caribbean location” where politics is “off limits” between him and his wife, Kim Kardashian West.

Others include Lane Ruhland, who was the West campaign’s representative when the rapper filed to appear on the ballot in Wisconsin. Only one week before filing West’s petition, she signed a legal filing in federal court as a lawyer for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The Trump campaign told Intelligencer in a statement about Ruhland, whose identity was first reported by Vice, “There’s no conflict to waive but we have no knowledge of anything Kanye West is doing or who is doing it for him.

In Vermont, one West elector, Chuck Wilton, was also elected as a delegate to the Republican National Convention. His wife, who is also an RNC delegate, has a Trump administration job, and the two are considered close political allies of Darcie Johnson, who ran Vermont for Trump in 2016 and then came to Washington to join his administration. West’s electoral slates in states like Colorado and Wisconsin are also jam-packed with Republican activists.

The campaign is certainly more organized than it was when it launched in July, via a tweet from West. The rapper, who had spent July interspersing tweets about his campaign with tweets about a new album, explored an effort to get on the ballot in Florida before backing away at the last minute.

One word and one word always: EGO.

Waste of time

There's a word for it: awesome.

Hmmm, let me try... ASSHOLE

Just a stupid man who loves God😂😂😂😂😂

NOTHING!!!!!!!

“Batshit” is a start.

I have so many words for this. (Most I won’t Tweet because standards.) But shame on Trump and his cronies for manipulating someone like Kanye, who clearly needs help.

vanbadham Nothing News worthy, he just needs to be seen doing something... 🙄

Sure there is - Shite

170lbs of pure Id meets one mofo of a manic bipolar episode, Nothing in English, but I’m sure the Germans will have something about 15 syllables long.

No words but numbers can ... 2020

there is; it's called 'Kanye.' his whole campaign is about 'Kanye.'

'Stupidity'

Maybe stop writing about it?

Incompetent

Bencjacobs Yes there is, it is a gop subversion, I guess they think POC are idiots,

If only Lawrence Welk were alive. West/Welk 2020

Dumb

Good for Kanye. He has the balls to say what no one else will

The nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind

How about “crisis” or one popular variant, the existential crisis

Went from singing about a gold digger to becoming a vote rigger.. KanyeWest

Paid for

the word “asinine” comes to mind.

are you really trying to 'reason this one out?'

It's not a campaign. It's an operation being run by the Trump mob. KanyeWest

Bencjacobs There must be one in German.

vanbadham Yes there is: asinine.

Trumpesk

He's been set out to help create a circus; all to normalize Trump.

Unbelievable. You idiots will turn on anybody. Keep aborting your babies and not listening to someone trying to help you. Margret Sanger wanted to get rid of Blacks and started planned parenthood and the Democrats jumped on the wagon.

Unprecedented

He’s breaking from the Democratic party because they take the Black vote for granted and he thinks they have not earned it. His campaign is to spread this idea.

Clownish? I have more.

Dems worst nightmare. 😂😂😂

Canceled. There’s a word for Kayne.

The black vote. Trump gets 50% Kanye gets 50% Biden gets 0% Bawhahahahahahahahahaha

It's a blatant attempt to take votes from Biden and it's being promoted by Trump backers. Ignore it entirely.

Distraction

Daft!

Fantabulous?

Like always, it's about him.

How about a spanish one: mierda!

Bencjacobs Bloated Tick. Waiting for the 'fall off.' Vented.

Patsy

Bencjacobs It's about a man who's having a mental health episode being exploited by the Trumpkins because, well... what else do they have to work with?

Why does anyone bother to pay attention anything this guy does?

Two words: mental illness

Yea, there is, 'GoAway'.

whenpigsflyyy Not true. “Rat-fucking” has been around since the 1970s and it perfectly sums up the West campaign.

Well we all know blacks aren’t diverse now so not sure why he is bothering

Can’t believe our country has sunk so low.

Based

Bencjacobs Ridiculous Farcical Quixotic Bizarre Vainglorious Preposterous Absurd Outlandish Ludicrous Feckless There ya go, there's 10. That's just basically off the top of my head, too. But everyone has a hard time finding the right words sometimes but pick up a thesaurus, eh?

Crazy. Ridiculous. Absurd. Donald. Kanye.

Bencjacobs Exploitation works.

Bencjacobs Himself. How about the DSM? “Manic episode with psychotic features” seems like a good stab at it.

Bencjacobs There’s lots of 2-word phrases! Let’s explore some options!

Bencjacobs There are actually many words to describe it. Distraction. Manipulation. Collusion. Spoiler. Strategic. Bullshit. Charlatan. Scam. Those are just a few. It is simply a coordinated plan by West and Republicans to steal votes from Biden in a few select states. Be better

Helping Trump, two words

Help elect Trump. Really not that complicated.

Yep: AWESOME.

Sabotage.

Too much money and adulation of pop stars who in return are convinced they are geniuses and demi-gods. Another shite aspect of American culture. Why do these idiots have so much money?

Start with Shameful

Bencjacobs Cofefe

Fake? How about publicity? Hubris? How about a sentence: because he can.

Bencjacobs Bizarre?

Bencjacobs attempted, yet surprisingly lazy rat fucking

Why don’t you stop writing articles about this and giving this subject any kind of attention?

manic

How about Biden?

I’m surprised this headline has not been used to describe Trump’s campaign.

Yes there is: distraction

giving America something different?

The Jill Stein of 2020

It's a manipulation. A handling. An exploitation.

There is no word in the English language to adequately describe Kanye West.

Wanker?

Visible. Completely unlike Biden’s campaign.

Why, is shit-show two words?

There’s no word to describe how bad Biden is

Stop. Covering. This.

Or, coincidentally, Thighland.

I don't know. Absurd and ill-fated some to mind...

His ego.

Why are you validating this shit? This is how 2016 turned out the way it did.

Why are we giving this air. Sigh.

Bogus

Very simple: an unapologetic pro-Trump move directed at Gen-Z, but fortunately they don’t buy manure.

It’s an spectacle from a 🤡

Yeah there is: dangerous

How about bullshit?

Ineffable?

Is 'spoiler' an English word?

Yes there is: Trump

Thorazineneeded. Is that a word?

Fake

Why are you covering this malignant narcissist?

Narcissistic personality disorder Evil Toxic billionaire There are many words!

He is not mentally well.

Only in meme form

Asshole is a word
