It was simply was a publicity stunt. Anyone who thought that was serious needs to hang out and become friends with Kanye. Amazed this trash made an actual discussion. What's there to discuss?

If he runs he will be up against trump and others.

There was even mention of him running for president of the republic party.

I don't know if this is just a publicity stunt or what? But hes being saying some controversial things. Hes being receiving some media flack from the left.

This man has been getting a fair bit of publicity of late. For a black man his politics is quite different from what i would expect. Hes sups to be a trump supporter.

Biden is another Obama. All mouth, and little to show for his 8years in office. Biden even yells like Obama did. God help America and the world Now!

Oh BTW. I was disgusted to see some American expats crowing abt the election result on the weekend. Now that trump is gone ..they should just go home. Leftist ratbags.

A career politician who has a tainted history. Even his adult kids are not that decent. Look up the name HUNTER BIDEN.... How could so many dumb Americans vote for this JOKER?Edited 09-Nov-20 05:19am

At least trump stood up to corrupt China. They must be loving this outcome, result of a new president. America and the world will unfortunately go backwoods. Biden is also a climate change nutter. He should keep the heck out of Australian affairs. Edited 09-Nov-20 05:09am

Well follks, get ready for a unstable world. Risk of wars! American economy ruined. Overrun with more illegal migrants. Corruption big time. High unemployment. More crime.

Biden will serve just one term, as he will be too old and deranged by the time 4 years is up. He might die tho before that eventuates. And that grinning black- lady kamala, would be even worse.

I'm beginning to think even a rapper would be better than the ratbag, who unfortunately just won the election. An elderly man who probably should be locked up in a retirement village by now. This man BIDEN is corrupt. He hasnt got a hope in hell of uniting America. You can easily find enough bad publicity abt him on google. He's not that well respected apparently. And his offsider, Harris, she can't keep her mouth closed. Edited 09-Nov-20 04:56am

Rappers bore me.

Me too,could not imagine him as a President lol.Mind you the current one is not much better either

For heavens sake ...... his 'speech' was cringeworthy. It is small wonder that he thinks he can run for the 'top job' given the lunatic who is already there.

Agree - let the contest begin

I can't understand the fuss about West' he is just an imbecile as the sitting president who advised people to inject themselves with bleach to fight COVID-19, it is only in America such thing happens< maybe the air, the location or the native's curses, Regan was an actor Carter was a bean farmer and Trump,,, well he was a reality TV personality, a real estate mogul, and a tax cheat, so why not Kanye or even spongebob

Especially what the UN wants to do

who cares

what a weirdo

YEEZYS

there are enough inappropriate people in politics as it is now that should drop out, particularly in the US IMO.

Not that I particularly care about American politics what I do care is that Trump will end up with war against China and unfortunately we will probably follow in. We have lost too many people already fighting others wars. Kanye West whoever he is has made the right decision. Edited 30-Aug-20 17:03pm

He should not have stood in the first place. Having said that if that idiot Trump can become President any person could stand and do a better job.

Ah, "The Idiocracy Party"! It does have a ring to it, just can't quite tell what "pitch" it's in! For all I know it might be "Pitch Perfect"!?? I could say more but instead am going to make little o' me a strong cup of black coffee lest I fall asleep and give myself nightmares.

Surely he was only joking

was he ever really in?

Everyone thinks they're a politition these days

My opinion is that he needs to get some help with all of his problems.what parent says he wished his first born child wasn't alive or something like that.

he would do a better job than trump.

ANYONE WOULD BE BETTER THAN TRUMP SOMEONES GOT TO MAKE A STAND THERE WILL BE A WAR WITH CHINA IF THEY DON'T WATCH OUT

What's the problem, the yanks elected Trump so he could 'stat' in his rerun of his 'reality' show the apprentice.

Kanye needs spend time in a nice house with his family . That’s his priority at the moment, getting love and care

Kayne West has mental problems and it is very sad that he was allowed to make such a fool of himself ..the media just lapped it all up

Kanye West has no talent and should be avoided at all cost.

Hopefully Americans will see sense and vote for a Politician, and not re-elect the overtanned,egotistical and twitter mad dickhead that is Trump!

Well bad luck he didn't take his dickhead mate with him

It's easy to attack TRUMP... I guess. And the world media is great at doing that. Crap all good OBAMA did when he was in power.

Some very valid points made. Just because your a famous celebrity doesn't mean your presidential material.

Most politicians make a hash of running a country anyway. The best politician is someone who's not political.

Too true!

Not sure if bringing up politics in these forums is a good idea. I do think it was never a serious run though as he had no policies, just a publicity stunt. The US just have a different way of doing things where anyone with lots of $ can have the opportunity to run for the presidency even if they don't have the political background.

I don't think America needs another controversial celebrity as a leader.

It would have been fun to have a 3rd candidate..

Who cares? Like all empires the one once referred to as "The Imperial Republic" : The USA, like the British, French, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, Roman ones before it will come to an end. The USA today is at the same level as when Nero fiddled whilst Rome burned! The Big problem is that the despotic, corrupt dictatorship which is going to succeed the USA as the World's Super Power will be the worst news possible for the so-called "Free World" for it will seek to destroy it.

Oh my God he needs a reality check

Ridiculous!

Kanye Who?

so are we.

The biggest danger is with chump being re-elected. I think it won’t want to go at the end of 2 terms and the CIA will have to make a correction

he is a nut case

what a nutter,only in the usa

Not another idiot.

Rather have him than that other comedian - Donald Trump.

Wow, just another American idiot

I think singer or actor should teachers us to vote they want "say pick this person best person for courty". They should say nothing be on the back. Not eve go to presidential as most peoples will pick them as favorite person not if good or not good at the job.

he is a idiot

n/a

Not interested in American politics.

One less idiot in the presidential race!!!!!!!

1. Never knew he was running. 2. Couldn't care less about the US Presidential race. 3. Anybody would be better than Trump.

he could not be just as bad as trump

I didnt even know he was campaigning for it

I had to laugh. I don't think Kanye has what it takes to run a country.

as I understand it it was not intended he was going to run. it was a publicity stunt from what I understood.

It's a fact that even though I live here in New Zealand, I've got more of a vote than Mr West had of a chance.....

Saying that he will run for Presidency was just a publicity stunt.

The United States was built on genocide (Native Americans), slavery (Blacks), racism (Minorities), and sexism (Women of Color). You don't need experience (in politics) or training (in politics) - to reason that out! The United States was never a GREAT COUNTRY - a great military power - yes! In time - every country will reap what it sows - right now - its United States! Out of curiosity - If Kanye West should stick to rapping. Then what should the present president of the United States should have stuck too? Edited 30-Aug-20 03:42am

I have seen Idiocracy and totally agree. So after dropping out of the presidential race I guess his next job is airline pilot. I think to be the leader of a country it should be necessary to take a sanity test.

What else would you have, after all, it is America

I wish he would do it age an and try all sorts of things

America is in a whole lot of mess at the moment, health, politics, weather and racial rioting etc. They are really imploding. A great nation which is falling apart at the seams.
