Obviously he is wasting his time. However, if he takes a high proportion of the black vote away from the democrats, that could help trump.

I didn't think it was possible to top the narcissism of Trump, guess I was incorrect

Maybe he ant be any worse than Biden or Trump...

Potential-Monke

A good few years back, I would have been like, nah, he hasn't a hope. But then Trump. So it's a good possibility. I could see him defunding police and army budgets and investing it into the music industry, because he works harder than both of those careers....

py2006

Isn't he as mad as a bag of hammers though? (in a different way to Trump).

From what I can gather he isn't the brightest spark (not a job requirement apparently) and fully believes a god sent him to earth to entertain etc.

Money and fame have clearly altered his reality.

Literally wouldn’t vote that creep town dog warden

He is definitely intelligent. There may be other things going on in his brain but there is no doubt that he is smart.

That's what they said when Trump entered the race. Social media is a bigger influence than traditional media and he's good at social media.

Defunding the police is such a moronic idea that it might just get him a few votes.

It will also highlight that anyone who votes for him should be incarcerated for crimes against humanity.

Yes.. afterall, Trump wasnt a career politician. Maybe we need a new kind politics to suit a new era.

It would have been in the realms of farce to consider this conversation 10 years ago.

Problem is, America is on the edge.. it appears that a Marxist revolution could be on the cards. That could ruin America as much as a continuation of a system that cares too much about the plutocracy at the top at the expense of the millions of relatively poor Americans of all colours.

A more cynical person might think that is part of “the plan”.

It would be hilarious though..

Nadar took enough votes from Gore to give Bush victory and in that context if someone can take some of the black vote away from Biden then it is a big help to Trump. So, yes, could well be part of a plan.

But would West also take some of the nutjob God botherer vote from Trump?

If “Ye” is as good a president as he is a runners designer, america is completely fcuked....

I don't think you'd need to be cynical to think that this is a Trumpian idea.

With how the American system works, you only need to win certain states to become president, so West will probably market himself in swing states where a small number of votes for him would give Trump the state.

If it wasn't for that bitch Carole Baskin we'd see Tiger King running for prez.

Feck sake. This is the last thing the World or America needs. We need to be rid of Trump and have Biden as President for the next 4 to maybe 8 years.

Unfortunately, he may not be around in 4 years.

It's not a wild stretch from the current set up. I'm actually concerned this could happen one day.

He has a creative intelligence and is musically gifted.

There are a lot more types of intelligence than that. I think the man is thick as a bag of spanners in other aspects. I could not imagine him being very good at diplomacy or reading the mood of the nation similar to existing.

Yea, aside from age, isn't there question marks over his health?

I don't mean necessarily he will have passed away, I mean he may not be fit for the job health wise.

I wonder would he keep dropping beats in office?..

I agree, he's very intelligent, and a gifted artist. I would be concerned about the pressure he's putting himself under though. Not long ago he was reportedly suffering with mental health issues. He needs to look after himself and listen to the right people.

If only he could actually speak coherently even now though. (and maybe stop sniffing children's heads... and puckering up for wee girls, that would help a lot too :pac:.)

By musically gifted you must be meaning quite the ear for a mighty sample which the majority of his well known songs rely heavily on

Just a publicity stunt, but good for Trump when the blacks that vote Biden "just because" now can throw their votes on Kanye.


Kanye and Trump are mates btw

The current President is not fit for the job mentally or intellectually and yet he is there unfortunatly. He should not have been President of a creche never mind the most powerful country in the World.

Biden would be much better and if something were to happen then whoever's he has nominated as Vice President can take over. I do not think he would be running for it if he did not feel he could do it.

One more clown in the circus can't do much more harm

Potential-Monke

Suppose they would be replacing one president who only cares about himself with another. I never understood why you don't need some sort of qualifications to become president. Same as the TD's over here, experience is not required.

Bobblehats

I think these rappers they see the influence with just see a mic and a podium. With the aid of a backing track, and off they go getting ideas rap isn’t that far removed from simply talking shįte anyway. Problem is it’s mostly black identity politics and so could alienate some of the white demograph

Yea, I thought I read somewhere that he may have alzheimer's but that could be nonsense. Even with ailing health he should do a better job than the current clown.

py2006

Fame and fortune from rapping :rolleyes: clearly perverts the thought process with notions of superiority.

Unless there are ulterior motives behind it (aiding Trump?) this is a perfect example

Kanye West is bipolar type 1. I don't mean to look down on people with mental illness but if he's going through a manic episode he mighn't be the best at making decisions that need to made their and then or if he needs to speak to the public.

I know people with Bipolar and if there going through a manic epsiode it can be awful or them and they don't have a sense of reality.

I'ma let you finish....make a complete asshat of yourself...again.....

He was right at the grammy’s though. Best album for your worst don’t make no sense

Can't wait for the Oval Office sex tape with Kim

I mean after Trump, Zalensky in Ukraine, it's not unprecedented. We had a taoiseach quoting films in national addresses during a pandemic. I think it just shows how politics and entertainment have become so intertwined. Who knows, how bad could he be really? Trump couldn't be any worse of a statesman if he tried.

Has there ever been a president of the US or a western nation who was a high school dropout? I just saw Trump's background is in Economics.

Agricola

This is a classic Trumpian spanner in the works moment. The one thing they can't do is let Joe Biden cruise to victory on the back of the pandemic, economy and BLM.
So what better way to throw a petrol bomb into the middle of things than to get this eegit to announce his candidacy. There will surely be a significant portion of the young black (and white) demographic that would vote for him out of pure acting the maggot. Considering how few votes made the difference in certain states in 2016, it wouldn't take a lot to scupper a weak campaigner like Biden.

It's at times like this you can almost sympathize with Vladimir Putin for not wanting to test out actual democracy.

If he wins, does this mean they will not call it the White House anymore?

They didn’t change it for Obama so don’t see why they would for Kanye.
