Kanye is no longer MAGA

quote:
Kanye West’s Fourth of July declaration, via Tweet, that he was running for president lit the internet on fire, even as pundits were trying to discern how serious he was. Over the course of four rambling hours of interviews on Tuesday, the billionaire rapper turned sneaker mogul revealed:
That he’s running for president in 2020 under a new banner—the Birthday Party—with guidance from Elon Musk and an obscure vice presidential candidate he’s already chosen. “Like anything I’ve ever done in my life,” says West, “I’m doing to win.”
That he no longer supports President Trump. “I am taking the red hat off, with this interview.”
That he’s ok with siphoning off Black votes from the Democratic nominee, thus helping Trump. “I’m not denying it, I just told you. To say that the Black vote is Democratic is a form of racism and white supremacy.”
That he’s never voted in his life.
That he was sick with Covid-19 in February.
That he’s suspicious of a coronavirus vaccine, terming vaccines “the mark of the beast.”
That he believes “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work.”
That he envisions a White House organizational model based on the secret country of Wakanda in Black Panther.

BUT,
he also said that if Trump was not there already, that he would be running as a Republican.
That is a shot at democRats.

This has Edwin Edwards getting David Duke to run wanting to defeat Buddy Roemer written all over it...

Yea he has to run under the "Birthday Party"
quote:
An hour into the interview, the hedging was done: He says he definitely plans to run in 2020, versus his original plan in 2024. The campaign slogan: “YES!” His running mate? Michelle Tidball, an obscure preacher from Wyoming. And why the Birthday Party? “Because when we win, it’s everybody’s birthday.”

I don't believe for one second that this is 777th D chess by Trump. I do believe that Kanye knows exactly what this will do, steal votes away from Biden.
And he can do it while promoting his new album. This way he wins both ways.

well, he's a psycho, so...

Of course he said that, he's running for the office. He's anti-Trump now, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

quote:
If it all sounds like a parody, or a particularly surreal episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, West doesn’t seem to be in on it. Calling from his ranch near Cody, Wyoming, where he says that he registered to vote for the first time on Monday, West denies it is a publicity stunt for his upcoming album. (“I give my album away for free.”) A few weeks after he ended two separate text chains with me with the message “Trump 2020” and a fist raised high, he insists he’s lost confidence in the president. “It looks like one big mess to me,” he says. “I don’t like that I caught wind that he hid in the bunker.” West also says that he contracted the coronavirus in late February, though he maintains that had nothing to do with his thoughts on running this year.
That said, he won’t say much more against Trump. He’s much less shy about criticizing Biden, which certainly won’t tamp down the idea that the Birthday Party is a ruse to help re-elect Trump. “I’m not saying Trump’s in my way, he may be a part of my way. And Joe Biden? Like come on man, please. You know? Obama’s special. Trump’s special. We say Kanye West is special. America needs special people that lead. Bill Clinton? Special. Joe Biden’s not special.”

It sounds like he's educated on the Planned Parenthood founder.

Him running for president as a third party might be the most MAGA thing he could have possibly done.

I'd love to see some polling info in a few weeks of a 3-way poll between Trump/Biden/Kanye. 2020 just keeps delivering.

And so much more.
quote:
“That is a form of racism and white supremacy and white control to say that all Black people need to be Democrat and to assume that me running is me splitting the vote. All of that information is being charged up on social media platforms by Democrats. And Democrats used to tell me, the same Democrats have threatened me…. The reason why this is the first day I registered to vote is because I was scared. I was told that if I voted on Trump my music career would be over. I was threatened into being in one party. I was threatened as a celebrity into being in one party. I was threatened as a Black man into the Democratic party. And that’s what the Democrats are doing, emotionally, to my people. Threatening them to the point where this white man can tell a Black man if you don’t vote for me, you’re not Black.”

Not Special Joe.

Haha I admittedly didn't read the whole thing, but that's exactly what this sounds like. I don't think Trump planned this with him like others, but it's pretty clear that Yeezy knows exactly what this is doing.
The dude is a genius at trolling. He's crazy as hell, but he's not dumb.

As crazy as he sounds, he’s got a point here

well...this could get him killed.

Kinda hard to say you support the man when you are ostensibly running against him.

I think there is more to it. He is running in 2020 as a practice run for his real shot at 2024. If it helps Trump then that is a bonus but make no mistake that this is to set up 2024 for him to try to make a real run at it.
He pretty much alludes to as much in the interview.
quote:
“Let’s see if the appointing is at 2020 or if it’s 2024—because God appoints the president. If I win in 2020 then it was God’s appointment. If I win in 2024 then that was God’s appointment.”
