In Kanye West's New Forbes Interview, The Delusion Really Jumped Out

By: The Executive Tea Staff

On the Fourth of July, we were all minding our business and making the best out of the long weekend in quarantine — until Kanye West just had to get on Twitter and declare he’s running for President in 2020. Although Ye has missed nearly every deadline he would have to make to run for President and has yet to fill out any paperwork formalizing his run - he’s still determined to run as an Independent, chile.

In a new interview with Forbes, Kanye takes us down a wild ride of delusion, bizarre claims, and paints a picture of a West presidency that would be likened to Wakanda. While the rest of the country may not be taking him seriously, he has 2 supporters so far - his wife culture-vulture Kardashian and his alleged running mate Michelle Tidball, an obscure preacher from Wyoming. 

When asked about what his campaign policy would be, Kanye responded:

Checkmark, no campaign policy - got it. Instead of policy, West said he would employ a “Wakanda management model”. I know this sounds like a parody, but it’s not y’all. Here are his words to Forbes:

When asked about his previous support for Trump - Kanye said he’s “taking the MAGA hat off this time”, and said he’s been disappointed by his response to the pandemic “It looks like one big mess to me,” he says. “I don’t like that I caught wind that he hid in the bunker.” However, he still seemed to have lots of love for his friend. “Trump is the closest president we’ve had in years to allowing God to still be part of the conversation,” he stated. And why he rocked the MAGA hat in the first place?

Kanye also spoke to the concerns folks have voiced about him potentially splitting the ballot between Trump and Biden — potentially leading to a devastating 2020 loss: “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.”

Kanye also shared his views on abortion and vaccine, deferring to the Bible as his reason to not support the two.

Kanye on abortion:

“I am pro-life because I’m following the word of the bible.” He also said he believes that Planned Parenthood - an organization that gives women access to affordable reproductive health care - “has been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work”

Kanye on vaccines:

“It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed… So when they say the way we’re going to fix Covid is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast. 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. I'm sorry when I say they, the humans that have the Devil inside them. And the sad thing is that, the saddest thing is that we all won’t make it to heaven, that there’ll be some of us that do not make it. Next question.”

I don’t know what Kanye has been smoking on lately, but this entire interview was simply nuts and Kanye for President is a major no for me, dawg.
