And like we said, that’s just a sample of what’s going on over on Twitter, with the mega star trending on the platform as everyone takes to social media to share their thoughts. It’s unclear when we’ll hear more from Kanye on his bombshell announcement, but for now, what he’s put out there is enough to spark a tremendous amount of discussion.
It’s also got a lot of people wondering what else 2020 is going to bring us before the year comes to an end. It really does seem to be just one crazy, unexpected thing after another and this year’s certainly going to go down in the history books as one of the most interesting and strange.
But tell us, what do you make of Kanye West‘s announcement that he’s running for president? As always, let us know down below.
