Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, rapper Kanye West declared his candidacy for US president.
The unlikely challenger to Donald Trump – of whom he has been a vocal supporter – and Joe Biden, chose American independence day to make the surprise announcement on Twitter, triggering a social media storm.

“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” West wrote. “I am running for president of the United States.”
Truth be told - I never heard of the guy until now [nor do I know how to pronounce his name]. Anybody who puts "trusting G-d" first is my type of dude. I just don't know how his career as a rapper has prepared him for the most powerful position on the planet. But between us - I am not crazy about the other two guys either. 馃槗馃槙
His is DEFINITELY the right skin color for our days.
