Following the news that he would run for president in 2024, Kanye West claims he has invited former US President Donald Trump to serve as his running partner.
After an unsuccessful run for the presidency in 2020, the 45-year-old musician, who has legally changed his name to “Ye,” stated this week that he is considering another run.
The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian said on Twitter on Tuesday that he had requested Mr. Trump to serve as his running mate during a visit to his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago.
“Mar-a-Lago was my first visit the Traffic and the rain was terrible. It was unbelievable that I kept President Trump waiting. I was wearing jeans, too. Yikes… What do you suppose he said when I asked him to be my running companion in 2024, guys? To his 32.2 million followers, he tweeted.
First time at Mar-a-Lago
Rain and traffic
Can’t believe I kept President Trump waiting
And I had on jeans Yikes
What you guys think his response was when I asked him to be my running mate in 2024?

The four-time father of four offered a poll with the choices “That’s very Ye” or “That’s very Nay.” About 58% of voters on Wednesday chose the “That’s extremely Ye” response.
The contentious celebrity has hired far-right Milo Yiannopoulus to serve as his campaign manager after losing numerous business connections following statements he made last month that were deemed antisemitic.
In 2020, he ran as an independent for president of the United States. He earned about 70,000 votes, but US Vice President Joe Biden ultimately defeated him.
Trump declared last week that he will run for president again in 2024 despite losing the 2020 election.
Kanye West, a rapper, has drawn criticism for recent anti-Semitic comments he made. The most recent business to break off relations with West, who last year changed his name to Ye, is Adidas.
In a statement to Newsweek, Adidas said that it does not accept anti-Semitism or any other kind of hate speech. Forbes estimates that the acquisition cost $1.5 billion. Due to the rapper’s unpredictable conduct and words, several businesses have also terminated their relationships with him.
