    Kanye West has announced that he's running for president of the United States, with just four months until election day.

    The 21-time Grammy winner celebrated Independence Day with the announcement on Twitter, which was met with mixed reactions.

    He wrote: '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'

    Well, if this doesn't prove something, I don't know what will.

    At least he’s only the second weirdest celebrity presidential candidate.

    When he realized Trump was just using him as a way to make money, which offended Kanye, since he was just using Trump to bilk money out of suckers.

    He didn't.

    RNC is paying him to run in hopes of syphoning black voters from Biden.

    No. He won't even make it onto the ballot for most states, is my guess. It takes a great deal of effort in every state--it's extremely difficult to make it as an independent. I imagine they'd focus on battleground states if the idea is just to help Trump, but he's already missed the Texas deadline (which, unfortunately for Trump, is a battleground state this cycle) and collecting enough signatures to meet the July and August deadlines will be a feat.

    Even on ballots he might make, I don't think he'll get enough traction to change the outcome in any state.

    All this does, right now, is help divide the Democrats and make it easier for Trump to get re-elected.

    selfish POS

    I'm really not sure it does that. I think a lot of black people aren't to keen on him for sucking up to Trump in the first place.

    He won't get enough votes to make a difference. I'll bet it won't even effect the percentages. Biden is still going to win with an 8 Million vote surplus.
