Kanye West Tosses His (MAGA) Hat in the Ring for President

After the utter sh*tshow 2020 has been so far, finally: A headline we deserve by virtue of our suffering.

Kanye West is running for president.

As with all major political correspondence in the year of our Lord 2020, the announcement was made via Twitter on Saturday night.

We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States 🇺🇸! #2020VISION

We are still waiting on a whole lot of information, like what West’s platform will be, what party he’ll run under, and if he and President Trump can reach an agreement to ditch Pence and make Kanye Trump’s running mate.

Or maybe Kanye will put up his own equally whimsical running mate. Maybe Elon Musk, who has already voiced his support for the rapper’s candidacy.

You have my full support!

This is the presidential ticket we need right now. No, not because I believe either man would make a particularly good president, or even have a shot at winning the election. But 2020 has been such a CF so far, we deserve some amusement in the second half. For that, I thank you, Mr. Ye.
