Kim K as First Lady? Kid Cudi for Vice President?

The ever notorious Kanye West has hinted again at running for president, this time in 2024.

In a radio interview with Power 92 Chicago's DJ Pharris, West said "If I decide to do it, it will be done, I'm not going to try," adding "Yes, 100 percent it could happen... 2024".

West first began hinting at a presidential bid back in 2015 at the MTV Video Music Awards, where he named 2020 as his goal. 

Go back to the simpler times of say, 2009 - when a Trump presidency sounded like a bad joke and Kanye in office could have passed a meme rather than real news - now, it's anybody's game and, at this point, we'd probably take Kayne over Trump anyway...

 

“One of my main things, once I’m president, is the medical industry. I’m going to make sure that the medical industry flourishes,” West said on Thursday. He added: “I’m not going in, when I become president, to f*** up the paper, because I tell you what? Trump ain’t f***ing up the paper. Those jobs are up, those taxes are being saved.” 

Other celebrities who have expressed interest in the presidency include Oprah (who won't run in 2020 unless she receives a "sign from God"), "Hellboy" actor Ron Perlman, Katy Perry, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Chris Rock (probably a joke though...) and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. We're all doomed.
