Why Kanye West Would Make A Great President
Many fans have flocked to Twitter to express their support for #Kanye2020. The campaign has already begun to attract support from celebrities, including Jayden Smith.
I have decided to analyze why Kanye would actually be a "viable" candidate for the 2020 elections.
Here are the 13 reasons why Kanye would make a great president:
1. Kanye’s wife, and future First Lady, Kim Kardashian, has posed nude on many occasions, leading the public to believe that advancing feminism, through the form of “Free the Nipple,” is at the top of Kanye’s presidential agenda.
2. Kanye will probably resolve The United States’ massive debt by legalizing and subsequently taxing marijuana.
3. Kanye is well versed in resolving conflicts. In 2009, he stormed the MTV Video Music Award stage and interrupted Taylor Swift, causing a public uproar. Only 6 years later he and his wife were happily sitting next to T. Swift watching the 2015 VMAs.

4. Kanye is knowledgeable about the United States’ legal system: his song, “Gold Digger,” educates the young men and women about the value of yelling: “We want prenup!”
5. Kanye and his family have a well-developed scope of influence: his wife, Kim, already has more Instagram followers than current First Lady, Michelle Obama.
6. Kanye has already established diplomatic relations in other countries: one of his most famous songs, “Ni**as in Paris” exemplifies this.
7. Kanye has already dabbled in his fair share of political feuds. Kanye once stated that current President, Barrack Obama, personally calls Kanye on his home phone. President Obama later denied this claim, saying, “I don’t think I have his home number… I don’t.”
8. Kanye knows what it takes to be a leader and demonstrates this in his monumental song, “New Slaves:” “You see it’s leaders and it’s followers / But I’d rather be a dick than a swallower.”
9. Kanye is excellent at working with others in his field, a quality every political figure needs to have. Kanye has collaborated with Paul McCartney; Nicki Minaj; Jay Z; and 2 Chainz, just to name a few.
10. Kanye would surely make history by being the first president to present the Inaugural Address in the form of rap.
11. Kanye is honest. During the 2015 Video Music Awards, before announcing his plans to run for president in 2020 he came clean: “Ya’ll might be thinking right now, ’Did he smoke something before he came out here?’ The answer is yes, I rolled up a little something. I knocked the edge off!”
12. As Commander in Chief, President West would upgrade the United States’ military uniform by replacing standard military boots with his famed “Yeezy” sneakers and military issue sunglasses with his prominent “Shutter Shades.”
13. Kanye cares deeply about education and understands the most important part about getting a degree: “When I was a college student I was broke, and I really like clothes. When I was in college it would have been better if I could have afforded more clothes!”
