Some people on Twitter are convinced that a Kanye West presidential run is a plot to help President Donald Trump defeat his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
Those commenters are theorizing that Kanye would be more likely to draw votes from the Democrat in the race, Biden, although, of course, who knows if West is even serious? “The amount of people I see actually considering Kanye is scary, every vote that isn’t for Biden is a vote for Trump,” wrote one concerned Twitter user.
Kanye made the announcement on July 4. Fueling the theories: Kanye has spoken positively about his fellow reality star Trump in the past, and he’s been photographed wearing a Make America Great Again hat and once said it made him feel like Superman. He once called Trump a genius and said he would have voted for him.
In 2018, Kanye tweeted of Trump: “You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.”
please don’t be stupid and vote for kanye, then biden will lose votes and trump will be president AGAIN

Kanye tweeted, “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.” Elon Musk quickly responded on Twitter, writing, “You have my full support!”

It’s not clear whether West is actually going to follow through. He previously said he was going to run for president in 2024. In 2015, he proclaimed that he was going to run for president in 2020. According to USA Today, there is no evidence West has created a campaign organization or filed papers with the Federal Election Commission.

Kanye West Says He is Preparing for 2020 Run at San Jose ShowCredit: Twitter/RaptorJesuss Kanye West aggravated fans and reportedly prompted some to leave his San Jose show on November 17 as he went off on a lengthy, politically charged, expletive-laden rant. During the tirade, West told the audience he had not voted on November 8, but if he had he would have voted for Donald Trump. He also told fans he was preparing for a 2020 presidential run, but using a “different model” to Trump. He argued that his support for Trump did not mean he didn’t support women’s rights or the Black Lives Matter movement, though he did tell the crowd that black people should “stop focusing on racism.
