    As a musician he's up there on the absolute top tier level though. His album 808 and Heartbreak is utterly incredible and was so far ahead of its time. But in popular culture he's cast in the role of mad jester, the Howard Hughesian figure of our era. Granted he does himself no favours and yeah obviously he'd be a terrible president, but I find people are very quick to dismiss him as a complete idiot, musically the man is a genius.

    Also ideally with his 30m Tw followers, and the billionare Kim's 65m Tw followers (100m+ combined)

    They all registered voters? And none being counted twice?

    He's not though, he's one of the most overratted artists of all time. He's middle of the road at best and a riddiculously massive ego, I prefer to listen to real music.

    Take the average if desired, even just the big booty Kim lady, who herself has a bit of a media presence (top 12 global Tw ):
    12. Kim Kardashian West (65m followers)

    Kim Kardashian and social media are inextricably linked. The world famous businesswoman and TV personality has garnered a huge following on every social media platform she touches.
    She’s the 4th most influential woman on Twitter, while she also counts Ariana Grande, Sofia Vergara, and Serena Williams as followers.
    She also uses her account much like other people in this list. There’s a lot of promotional stuff (particularly around her KKW Beauty company) along with general updates about her life. etc..


    Sleepy Joe has 1/10th the Twitterati (6.6m).
    Pres Trump is 9th globally, with 80m+.

    Do you think all 65m followers are (a) American, (b) registered voters (c) fans of West?

    No, no and no.

    West is just stunting to get his dark orange lord and master reelected.

    Bringing up twitter numbers is pointless.

    Exactly, some people act as if this f**king meme twank invented Hip Hop or Rap music. He f**king didn't. He jumped on a fashion just like him and his plasticated wife would jump on any other fashion. The actual people who did invent the artform of Rap and Hip Hop music would rather rip their own reproductive organs from their own bodies with their bare hands and throw them into a river than even dream of becoming president of the united states of lame ameriKKKa

    Much the same for Joe, with 1/10th the following (6.6m) as for these two American A-listers.

    West has 30m, not as many as his wife's 65m, either is still a considerable sample amount of 'influence'.
    Same applies to all other avenues of social media and above/below the line exposure. Let's not forget of course the 'influence' f'book had upon 2016.

    West is playing, as playas often do.
    But hey, that's democracy, like it or not.

    Old Joe putting out soundbites such as: "you're not black if you don't vote for me", now seem void, empty and devalued when there's a new kid on the block.
    For the Dealmaker, this is a very clever and good deal (if it is a deal, which it likely might well be), he'd probably just call it 'divine intervention'.

    For a start Trump already as CinC and likely has access to codes, but since taking Office hasn't started a significant physical fight with anyone. Even after some name calling, installed deep radar in Japan pointing at China, then went over to see big Kim to strike a deal. He even wanted Kim to have a signed EJ CD, with the track Rocketman featured, top class move!

    Biden peaking at 82yrs towards end of any term, might not remember codes even for his ATM nevermind anything else. Kayne can't really win, just a useful intervention tool in all this, and an sales boost for popcorn sellers.

    The bigger question to ask is: what would have happened if HC won in 2016? She seemed very eager to put boots on the ground of Syria, with Migs flying overhead, that would not have ended well for anyone.

    If this *is* a plan to spit the African American vote to boost Trumps's chances (and I wouldn't be surprised) it is likely doomed to fail. In most of the states where there is a significant enough a/m population to take enough votes away from Biden, it's already too late to get an independent on the ballot for president.

    So. Much. Winning.

    The cult of personality around this clown has always perplexed me.

    He's like a counter culture figure head for those who prefer style over substance.

    New album from this gadge out on Friday, so it's starting to look like what all this ridiculous pathetic noise was actually about.
