How President Kanye would be like?
Kanye West has given the US and the world a glimpse of what President Kanye would be like?
Photo credits to https://www.kjrh.comThe rapper said he would model his White
House operation on Wakanda, the fictional kingdom from Black Panther.
West told Forbes he is "extremely cautious"
about a coronavirus vaccine.
He said: "They want to put chips inside
of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can't cross the
gates of Heaven."
In what the magazine described as "four
rambling hours of interviews", West said he would decide in the next 30
days whether to definitely stand in November's presidential election.
If he does, it would be under the banner of
The Birthday Party. "Because when we win, it's everybody's birthday,"
he explained.
But he said he was serious about the plan.
"Like anything I've ever done in my life, I'm doing to win."
However, he added: "When I'm president,
let's also have some fun. Let's get past all the racism conversation, let's
empower people with 40 acres and a mule, let's give some land, that's the
plan."
That's a reference to a 19th Century plan to
give freed slaves 40 acres of land after the US Civil War.
What else did
he say?
One of President West's priorities would be to end police brutality, he said, and he is against the death penalty.
He also wants to "clean up
the chemicals - in our deodorant, in our
toothpaste". Asked about abortion, he said he is
"pro-life because I'm following the word of the Bible"; while he
hasn't developed his foreign policy but is "focused on protecting America,
first, with our great military".
Asked about his approach to taxes, he said he
hadn't done the necessary research yet. "I will research that with the
strongest experts that serve God and come back with the best solution. And that
will be my answer for anything that I haven't researched."
He believes he contracted coronavirus in February,
but said a vaccine was "the mark of the beast".
And he professed his love
for China. "It's not China's fault that disease. It's not the
Chinese people's fault. They're God's people also. I love China. It changed my
life. It changed my perspective, it gave me such a wide perspective."
But he would take a radical approach to governing.
"I don't know if I would use the word 'policy' for the way I would
approach things," he said.
"I [didn't] have a policy when I went to Nike and designed Yeezy and went to Louis and designed a Louis Vuitton at the same time. It wasn't a policy, it was a design.
We need to innovate the design to be able
to free the mind at this time."
He added: "I'm gonna use the framework of Wakanda
right now because it's the best explanation of what our design group is going
to feel like in the White House."
He likened his approach to the film, "when the
king went to visit that lead scientist to have the shoes wrap around her
shoes".
"Just the amount of innovation that can happen,
the amount of innovation in medicine - like big pharma - we are going to work,
innovate, together.
"This is not going to be some Nipsey Hussle being
murdered, they're doing a documentary, we have so many soldiers that die for
our freedom, our freedom of information, that there is a cure for Aids out
there, there is going to be a mix of big pharma and holistic."
His running mate would be Michelle Tidball, who Forbes
described as "an obscure preacher from Wyoming".
Can Kanye west become president?
Forbes noted that West "has no campaign apparatus
of any kind", and that he will miss the deadline for inclusion on the
ballot in many states.
But he wants to get the deadline extended because of
the coronavirus pandemic. "I'm speaking with experts, I'm going to speak
with [Mr Trump's son-in-law and adviser] Jared Kushner, the White House, with
Biden," West said.
The star, who only registered to vote for the first
time on Monday, denied that the possible campaign was a publicity stunt for his
new album.
"Let's see if the appointing is at 2020 or if it's 2024 - because God appoints the president," he said. "If I win in 2020 then it was God's appointment. If I win in 2024 then that was God's appointment."
Once in an interview Mr Trump said the idea of West running was "interesting".
"It'd have to be limited to certain states
because in some states the deadline has been missed," he said. "If he
did it, he would have to view this as a trial run for what's going to happen in
four years."
