Summary- Kanye West for president in the 2020 elections? While accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 MTV Video Music awards, Kanye, in his final words of his 12 minute speech said that he will in fact be running for president in 2020. "And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president. This got everyone talking and this news was one of the most unforeseen events of the night
Analysis- While it is a different thing to have a celebrity to run for office, is it a good thing? I know that Kanye may be smart but I don't think he would be the best in office. First off he told the audience that if they are wondering "did he smoke something before he came out here... Yes, I rolled up a little something. I knocked the edge off." this does not seem like a very wise choice for a person who could be running the country in the next half decade. He also renown for his interruption of Taylor Swifts speech during the 2009 VMA's where he jumped up and grabbed her microphone and said that Beyonce's music video was better than hers. Though very immature of him, he claims that he would not have done that if he had a daughter at the time, yet he went on stage after "rolling up a little something."
