I'm gobsmacked, though I suppose we shouldn't be. What do you think?

Mind you, he's certainly not on his own where delusions of grandeur are concerned.

He`s bipolar...said it himself. Does USA need another irrational brain?

It is a shame that the trashy family that Kanye West has got involved with don't look after him better. He is reported to have been in the middle of some awful bi-polar episode when he started spouting off about being a presidential candidate. Shame on them. But, then again, this was announced in 2020, and nothing surprises me

Agreed urmstonegran

Kanye West has dropped out so no more presidential race for him.

Urmstongran Thu 16-Jul-20 12:00:52

Such a shame that chancers and enablers took his money and got their own expenses paid promoting his nonsense while the man was sick.

Aparently Kanye West has dropped out of the presidential race.

It beggars belief but nothing that is happening in the world shocks me anymore, which is sad.

I’ve just had to look at my calendar - are you sure it’s not 1 April?!

Those who run for president should have a polygraph and a mental assessment test. Their names would probably fit on a postage stamp grin

Tbh he cannot be any worse than Trump or Johnson. But Kanye makes this announcement regularly. He lives in a multi million dollar bubble and nothing he says can be taken seriously.

Trumps attitude to women didn’t stop him being elected though, did it ?

pinkquartz Thu 09-Jul-20 23:24:03

He is anti abortion shock

he comes across really badly in his attitude to women surely he won't be voted in?

Callistemon Thu 09-Jul-20 22:24:23

That is sad, Iam64.

Evie64 Thu 09-Jul-20 22:09:07

He's a complete nutter! shock

phoenix Thu 09-Jul-20 21:26:24

That's sad, no matter who it is.

Now, who is going to come out and say that The Donald is actually a power crazy narcissist?

Iam64 Thu 09-Jul-20 21:15:36

I have just read that Kanye's family say he is in the middle of serious mental ill health. He is, they say, bi polar and very sick.

GagaJo Thu 09-Jul-20 20:54:42

He said a couple of years ago he planned to run for POTUS at some point. He has fairly severe mental health issues at times. I should pity him really but...

phoenix Thu 09-Jul-20 20:50:01

Sorry, typos in above post, damn auto correct again, but hopefully you will know what I meant!

phoenix Thu 09-Jul-20 20:48:26

I suppose we ought to be a bit grateful that our politicians at least seem to have to gained at least some political experience, rather than just the money to buy their way in to power?

(Yes, I know, before the "Old Etonians" argument is out forward)

biba70 Thu 09-Jul-20 18:34:51

stop the world, I want to get off

Grandma70s Thu 09-Jul-20 17:29:08

I’m another who has heard the name but has no idea who he is, if anybody. Americans don’t seem to care very much how stupid their leaders are, so I expect he’d be as good as anybody else.

Callistemon Thu 09-Jul-20 17:20:31

Delusional Disorder?

welbeck Thu 09-Jul-20 17:16:15

apparently he's having a bipolar episode, which affects his judgment.
so what's trump's excuse ?

Callistemon Thu 09-Jul-20 17:06:40

The Birthday Party
