Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has come forward to react to rap star Kanye West‘s headline-generating announcement of running for the presidency in 2020.

Instead of disregarding the idea, Trump embraced the possibility of facing-off against Yeezy in five years.

“He’s said very nice things about me in the past… extremely positive things – I was actually watching, I saw him [announce his candidacy on the VMAs], and I said, ‘That’s very interesting. I wonder who gave him that idea?’ … He’s actually a different kind of person than people think. He’s a nice guy. I hope to run against him someday.” (Rolling Stone)

According to reports, a 24-year-old recent graduate registered “KanyeforPresident.com” and has already received five-figure offers this week.

Tramall Ferguson registered “KanyeForPresident.com” back in April on a whim … thinking maybe one day Yeezy would make it in the oval office. After Kanye’s announcement at the MTV VMAs … Tramal’s phone is blowing up with huge offers to own the domain … upwards of $80k. Tramal says he’s holding out … waiting for Kanye to call. He wouldn’t say how much he’d charge, but he was clear … Kanye’s not getting it for free. (TMZ)

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest spoke out on Kanye West’s announcement this week.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says of the announcement that he looks “forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat.” Earnest was traveling aboard Air Force One with the president to Alaska. (Billboard)

West’s in-laws Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian both boasted about Ye running for the presidency on social media Sunday (August 30).

  1. dude when people start taking kanyes run for presidency serious you knows we are fucked up

    • when people star thinking trump should be president we already loss….he has created so controversy that the other party will when by default …i do not believe that to be a mistake…..we saw how things work with bush….the thought that we the people pick the president is a joke

      • i feel what your saying but IM from Iowa and watching his debate here like 2 weeks ago was actually interesting. He said a lot of things that are real and that we need. id just be worried about him pissin some country off with his arrogance and gettin a bomb dropped on us lol

        • he said stuff that people wanted to hear …come on ….really like you do know that billions of dollars go into this kind of stuff research based on state and town leads to saying what people want to hear…do you not remember every president sounding good before in office…its game the slithering tongue…water to a whale sweaters in hell thats what they do …but it does not matter to much of America are brainwashed and cant even see the need for reform….every person in the gov…needs to be fire we need to start pure from scratch no laws no constitution new everything 2015 and we still using outdated thought made law by people that were bias….no one should a person be president just casue they have enough money to show themselves to people that dont think well or for themselves..i think we as a country are pass the point of needing a president/ spokes person for America…the people are suppose to be in charge yet they write their own checks….and rules for that matter….in others word fuck the whole American gov….they prolly spying on us now…how did the whole country forget eric snowden …

          sorry for the rant…and respect to you and your thought however you feel is your right…if we get bombed America would have seen it coming and allowed it so that we could go back to what we do best kill and steal….the m.o. since day one…crusades my ass that was a get down or lay down…

      • Nope. Trump is EXACTLY what this country needs. And the polls are telling you that as well. So you may as well get use to it.

        • the polls mean nothing….people are stupid just no nice way around…some people went to vote cause diddy told them others because of private interest like wanting the first black president and women who would vote for hillary just based on her being a women….two smart sentences to the general public is like a thousand …i hate election time because its one big lie…these politicians dont care about America they care about them selfs and the gain of power….look at the dinners the public funding and the thought that you can buy your way into offices with the right connects….our kids our lead astray buy them…they say dont pick on people than when election time come they go petty…..how can a killer of innocent people be good hence there no such thing as a good American President not one ever….i refuse to vote until i get a good choice….every year it come down to lesser of two evils….once in they do nothing but have fancy big budget dinners and trips….when dems get office they want to refuse all thats done by repub….vice versa…..hillary and trump are we serious …hillary was given jobs to boost her resume …people are so stupid all they see is clinton ….and think about her husband which fooled all just cause he smoked weed and played jazz….miss with that bull shit..corey booker took all kinds of job from newark residents so that he could repay favors its a fact and the worst part is they dont hide it people just dont care …Sorry for the book.
