Is Kanye Actually Running For President?

Whether you follow Kanye West on social media or not you’ve probably heard that he chose to announce on 4th of July – American Independence Day, that he’s running for president this year. Kanye announced this via Twitter, saying something about having to make good on the promise of America and trusting God and building a future. He then stated he’s running for president of the US”. All this was accompanied by the American flag emoji and #2020vision. Now is he serious? Is it possible? Or is this another publicity stunt by Kanye?

This isn’t the first time Kanye has mentioned that he wants to be the president of America. It was at the 2015 MTV Music Awards that we heard this say he’s going to run for president for the first time and we thought he was joking then. He also mentioned it last year and said he’s going to do it in 2024 and even said he was going to change his name to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West in the ballot.

Speaking of the president, do we all still remember that Kanye actually said he supports Trump and that he went to visit the White House and talk to Trump and they got along so well that Kanye said Trump made him feel like superman and they even discussed the possibility of Kanye running for president and Trump said it could very well happen. And then Kanye said that he obviously wouldn’t do it until Trump’s presidency is over. Yeah, that happened, he even donned the “make America great” hat at some point.
