The scary thing is that this could actually happen

The scary thing is that this could actually happen…

Kanye West is never a man to avoid controversy, and the self-prolcaimed greatest rock star on the planet is once again in the headlines this morning after he made a startling revelation last night.

West received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, which was ironically presented to him by Taylor Swift, but that’s not where this great story ends.

In a lengthy speech, Kanye spoke about fatherhood and how it had changed him as a person, media hypocrisy, and bizarrely about how he had smoked a little something before coming onstage to help take the edge off.

He then rounded out his speech with a shocking announcement, in a straight face and a tone that would suggest he is perfectly serious he said, “as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.”

JOE’s mind is officially blown… let’s just hope he makes a better attempt at his campaign speeches than he does at remembering the words to Bohemian Rhapsody.

Below is a video with part of his speech, could this actually happen? Would America vote for Kanye?
