    Certainly more 'interesting' than sleepy/creepy old uncle Joe.

    If his new album is any good and he can capture his intended target audience of 12% (or Multiracial African Americans at 14%), that's a huge factor in the race.
    Add in the mix 16.7% who are of hispanic/latino discent, who may find Kim Cardigan instagram's photoshop'ed booty blurb, of interest.

    Elon Musk now adds his full support, Musk would actually be a top quality running mate if Independents, or even (both) as future advisors to the Trump
    From 500/1 to now 50/1 still can't see it, It's now likely Trump (odds reducing) to win again, some would say he now has 'divine assistance' to MAGA.

    There is a market for Trump to paint the white house gold (gold is a hugely great colour), during his second term. This I like for small change at 500/1.

    100-137/1 if you know where to look.
    Best not to look however, even for 500/1.

    Saying that, if he can get Musk on-board as VP, and Oprah to do something too, this could change the gameplay.
    Perhaps a few more A-list celebs and other politicans^.

    Musk is one of the great minds of our time, if he were to adopt some of ^Yang's superb policies, they could put on a good show, perhaps to even challenge the Trump himself in 2024.

    Who else is going to get folks to Mars (along with fast Hyperloop to the spaceport), should e.g. a 're-animated' semi autonomous Hilary-AI emmerge around 2030, and seek to kick up some dust over in Syria, with dire consequenes.

    There really should be some criteria required to become President, a couple of years working at State level maybe. Letting clowns like the current president walk into the white house when they've no clue what they're doing is a joke. Imagine Bono deciding to apply for Taoiseach here, I'd be raging.

    Come back just before 2033, and with your bookmakers operating licence too.

    Besides, who else do you think is going to be the first to get there.
    As is stands, Musk & Co are the leaders in this field.

    Bono as Taoiseach?
    A character who travels all around the place telling made up stories to Everyone and hides his financial affairs?

    It’s not exactly that hard to fathom.



    All bets were off with regards the American president with George W was elected TWICE.


    And had it not been for Pat Kenny we could well have had our own reality TV star as president.

    The Americans, specifically half their military "leaders" are morons. They will start a scrap with barefooted farmers in order to increase the stock price of Raytheon. They will lose the scrap, citing lack of public support or dirty tactics by outside influencers, and then they will move on to the next boondoggle fcukup.


    If you think that whatever chimpanzee who sits in the white house has power then you are naive beyond delusion.


    If the current cretin in chief just woke up tomorrow and stated "We're invading India" you think he would be allowed?

    Can it actually get worse?

    Sure more people could be working two jobs and be living in their cars.
    The rich could add another zero to their wealth and there could be another few thousand homeless but it’s all heading that way not matter who takes over.

    Sure healthcare could become less affordable, but it’s heading that way with all the candidates.

    If they started another unjustified war it would just give a load of kids jobs unfortunately.

    So really if this lad ran and won the presidency would it actually matter?

    Can't see past Trump, almost impossible to oust a sitting president.
    Anyone comparing Kanye to Trump forgets the most astute move Trump made was to hijack the Republican vote to become president.

    Kanye is running as an independent in a two party system. There's a massive base vote that Republican and Democratic candidates start with purely from people voting by party aligiance.

    Kanye essentially has to start at 0 and work his way up.
    He's already lost before he starts.
    Though it will be Interesting to see if he'll take a significant amount of the minority vote from Biden.

    I don't imagine he thinks he can win, what he could do though is show up in the polls, lets say he gets into the 10%-20% range, he effectively gets to be a king maker. He can push for a deal from Trump and Biden, whoever offers the best deal he drops out and endorses that candidate. All he has to do is move the needle in a few states

    yawn - but sure why let facts get in the way of a trump-like comment.

    It was student accommodation. He gave them 4 months notice from the end of the college year - way above requirements.

    But typical of people who can't be bothered to check themselves, you believe the tter sh1te written by second rate "journalists". Why some people think second rate journalists write factual stories without any agenda is quite astonishing.

    He paid over the odds for the house in the 1st place. Purchasing costs would have been about €4,000-€5,000. A buy to let mortgage is about 5%, so interest would have cost about €15,000 a year. The rent would have been taxable and after tax barely covered the mortgage interest. It is sale agreed and the figure is meant to be under €450,000. Agent fees and legal fees will take about €7,000 off that.

    That's a paltry return of about €60,000 for 6 years on a €370k investment. Thank god he was never minister for finance. Certainly not a "huge tax free profit" - but then some people will believe the tabloids and take it as utter truth.

    By even running he has made Trump stronger,

    The more anti Trump people your able to vote for the stronger Trump becomes,

    The Anti Trump Votes now split between Biden and Kanye (young foolish voter's) and more,

    Trump will always have his base not matter what , the further the opposition votes are diluted between different runners the better for Donald,

    I presume people take this for the publicity stunt that it is.

    If we take it that he won't be on the Democrat or Republican ticket, he would have to be on a smaller party one and would need a full staff already on the ground. He can run as an independent but the deadline for registering this has already passed in a number of states so would be a non-runner. What a genius way to generate publicity though.

    Surely now Joey is going to have to instal a black female as his running mate, ideally someone who can spit out some rhymes and beatbox on the fly.
    Also ideally with his 30m Tw followers, and the billionare Kim's 65m Tw followers (100m+ combined).

    Creepy Joe once said, if you're black and dont' vote for me, then you're not black (or similar).

    As of now, if you're back and vote for Joe over the MC Kayne and superfly booty Lady Kim, then you're likely not black.
    Musk if a running mate, might suit the great undecided, or random fans of the Springboks and the trip to Mars.

    Whatever he does in his free time is up to him. I wish him well, I'll give him any reference he asks for.
