Why Kanye West As President Wouldn’t Be That Outrageous

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at App State chapter.

If you’ve been on the internet lately, or watched any kind news, you know that something crazy happened during the VMAs.

No, not Nicki calling out Miley, which was pretty cool, but something more crazy happened:

Yes, it’s true. Kanye West announced that in 2020, he’s going to run for president.

The internet blew up over this. Even the official Democratic Party twitter page welcomed Kanye to the race. You may think Kanye is a ridiculous presidential candidate and perhaps an embarrassment to the United States, but Donald Trump is legitimately running for the 2016 election, and people still support him despite everything he’s said. I mean, come on, Donald Trump called all Mexicans rapists, publically degraded women, and has consistently tried to argue that Obama isn’t from America. So why is it so ridiculous that Kanye is running, but not Donald Trump? Like I said, Trump has a large group of followers who are planning to vote for him, so why wouldn’t people vote for Kanye? Let me break down for you why it wouldn’t be that outrageous if Kanye were the future POTUS.

If Kanye wins, everyone will probably get free Yeezys. Yes, Yeezys! For those of you who don’t know, Yeezys are shoes, and who doesn’t love free shoes!

Kanye won’t let the paparazzi get to him.

Kanye is a role model for the younger millennials. Many of them look up to him and listen to what he has to say. It’s hard getting young people interested in politics, but if Kanye wins, you better believe the majority of millennials will be listening to what he has to say.

Yeah sure, Kanye isn’t the perfect role model. He’s done some bad things, like upstaging Taylor Swift at the VMAs, but who doesn’t make mistakes? 

When thinking about who to vote for, it’s important to know where the candidates stand on the issues. So what does Kanye care about?

Enough said, Mr. West.

But, really, Kanye does have a lot to say about what’s wrong with our country. He’s spoken out before about the issues going on in today’s society, including gun control. Plus, does anyone remember when Hurricane Katrina happened and Kanye called out President Bush?

Marijuana will totally be legal if our president is smoking it, right?

And, let’s be real, we all know who will really be running the country:

All in all, yeah it’s ridiculous that one of our future president candidates is Kanye West, and even more ridiculous, Kim Kardashian may be our future first lady, but we also had a candidate called Deez Nuts.  So yeah, if Kanye actually decided to run in 2020 he’d have my vote!
