Kanye West vows to win presidential race
Rapper Kanye West signaled he no longer supports U.S. President Donald Trump and said he had entered the presidential race to win it, in an interview published on Wednesday.
West, previously a vocal supporter of Trump, announced on Saturday that he would run for president in 2020.
“I am taking the red hat off, with this interview,” West told Forbes, referring to Trump’s trademark red “Make America Great Again” baseball cap. “Like anything I’ve ever done in my life, I’m doing (this) to win,” he added.
He told the magazine he will run under a new banner - the Birthday Party. West and his reality TV star wife Kim Kardashian West have visited Trump in the White House.
West denied that his aim was to split the Black vote and hurt the chances of Trump’s Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. It was “a form of racism and white supremacy” to suggest all Black people should support the Democrats, he said.
The rapper told Forbes he had been ill with COVID-19 in February, and would be suspicious of any vaccines developed to prevent the infection. Repeating false theories that link vaccines with child developmental disorders, he said: “So when they say the way we’re going to fix COVID is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious.”
“That’s the mark of the beast. They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven,” he added.

^ They say "you know you're a geek when you'd rather meet a Cardassian than a Kardashian."
Then I suppose I'm not a geek, because I'd rather meet Kim, Khloe or Kourtney than those guys.

I'd vote The Rock in, but never kanye. He did make a song worthy of being transformed into a rave song decent enough to go on my ipod, but i'm not that easy to win over.

If you voted for Kanye I don't know how I'd be able to process that.

Actually it's not that farfetched as it would seem. While I doubt he will have either the votes or even the time to finish all the paperwork before joining the election, it is possible the guy might actually grab some votes. I've read some analysis of his chances and not only it seems America in general is fed up with the two dominating political factions splitting their country in half, it also appears as a post-Trump supporter Kanye would snatch some of his voters. And keep in mind Trump is also kinda "celebrity-gone-president" type. In Ukraine they have a president who previously was a satirist.
In Poland we also had one guy who didn't represent any of the political factions, yet he got 13%. Yep, not enough to change anything, but a visible alternative for "choosing lesser evil" approach...
Even if people voted Kanye "just for the memes".

Wow, this is actually like parody news but checking it out, it seems true. The USA is really turning into a mad house. Wakanda? Chips in vaccines? As if Trump the reality show star wasnt enough, now you have Kanye West the rapper trying to replace him? I guess, the empire will be going down soon.

The main difference between a Trump and a West presidency would probably be that West's tweets would be rap-rhymed.
