President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that rapper Kanye West’s statement that he was running for president was “very interesting”.
Responding to West’s claim that he would run against Trump – for whom the musician has expressed support in the past, Trump told reporters at the White House: “He can.”
West’s 43-year-old Twitter statement that he was targeting the country’s highest office has been retweeted half a million times and “liked” a million.
“If he did, he should see it as a test for what will happen in four years,” said Trump, noting that it may be too late for West to register in some states. and that it does not have the infrastructure for a presidential candidacy.
West, who visited Trump in the Oval Office in 2018 and donned a red “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, announced his race proposal on Saturday as the country celebrated Independence Day.
“We must now fulfill America’s promise by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” said the music and fashion mogul.
“I run for president of the United States,” he said, with an American flag icon and the hashtag “2020Vision”.
He did not provide any details about his alleged campaign.
