Between the coronavirus pandemic, widespread riots across the world following the death of George Floyd, an invasion of murder hornets and more, 2020 has been a pretty strange, depressing and difficult year. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any stranger or more bizarre, in steps Kanye West to send shockwaves throughout the country by announcing that he plans to run for president.
Earlier this evening, the hip-hop star took to Twitter to announce that he intends to run for office. “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” West tweeted. “I am running for president of the United States.”
You can see his tweet down below:
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

But wait, there’s more! Elon Musk has already thrown his support behind Kanye, taking to Twitter shortly after the announcement to say the following:
You have my full support!

Of course, this is far from the first time that West has teased his ambitions to work in the White House, but it is the first time that he’s made a serious (we think?) declaration of his intention to run, and suffice it to say, the reactions online have been just as wild as you’d expect.
See below for just a sample of how folks are reacting to West’s earth-shattering announcement:
If Kanye runs for president and he wins… Kim Kardashian will be the First Lady…. we’ll never hear the end of it

Just remembered people actually voted for Trump so President Kanye isn’t that far-fetched. America had a horrible, genocidal run. Maybe it’s time to pack it in. Is Norway the move?

Who had “Kanye runs for President” on their 2020 Apocalpyse Bingo card? Anyone? Someone mercifully yell ‘Bingo’ at some point, please… https://t.co/jgBcQ3WOpJ

Kanye West for president? Don't you have to be born on Earth to be president?
But for real, he better get ready for Trump demanding to see his birth certificate on TV everyday.— Edan Clay

No one wants Kanye as president. Just drop 808’s 2 and we good. https://t.co/gcnNJEwiQo

They laugh because Kanye West ran for President of the United States of America…
OK! I remind you that this is how they made fun of Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign and he won. So it's not crazy! pic.twitter.com/8e6RAXuDk8
