My goodness, are there no minimum requirements to become president of the US? Is it really so that any TV reality show master or other comedian can become president? I understand Trump did his best to turn the presidential post into a farce, but could US citizens in November please remember the importance of that job and give it to somebody with a brain and some dignity?

Kanye West says he’s running for president… with Elon Musk’s endorsement

On the other hand... Why not? Trump bought the title and this Kanye guy also has loads of money, the US will become an even bigger joke, they have one clown already so why not have a complete joker. After Trump no decent intelligent person would want the role anyway, he’s made it something not worth having. Sad the US was once a respected nation, now the laughing stock of the world.

By the way, there have been rumors that cadet Bone Spurs may not run because his ego could not stand the thumping he should get in November so maybe this is how they do it? Does anyone think that the basket of deplorables would vote for a black rapper? The soap opera reality show continues...

I'm not sure where Kanye is positioning himself. Who is his base exactly? Which votes is he supposed to be stealing? He's been a vocal Trump supporter, and yet people are saying his candidacy is a Trump plot to steal black votes from Biden. Honestly, I don't get it.

It’s the only motive that makes sense. He’s certainly not going to steal any black votes from Trump. There aren’t any.

^At best, Kanye would take black votes away from Biden, which... sounds like something Trump would want, ensuring his victory.

That's if Kanye even makes it to the election as a viable candidate. No matter how much money Elon Musk throws at him, I doubt that will happen.

Also it's been pointed out that Kanye has an official, formal diagnosis of bipolar disorder, and as someone who myself has mental health issues, this stunt sounds like Kanye is having a manic episode.

Of course, the influence of the Kardashians doesn't help. They have no excuse, they're just shameless. 😂😂😂

"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
