Kanye West says he's ditching the red hat and running for pres on the "Birthday Party" ticket.

[brush]

Oh boy.

West also says, "One of the main reasons I wore the red hat as a protest to the segregation of votes in the Black community."

He added he was down with POTUS because "I like Trump hotels and the saxophones in the lobby."

He told Forbes he's running as part of a new party called the Birthday Party, because ... "[W]hen we win, it’s everybody’s birthday."

Ye sat down with Forbes in a verrrry wide-ranging interview, but primarily about his Presidential campaign ... and the would-be candidate declared he's "taking off the red hat." The only specific he offered as to why was that he doesn't like what he heard about 45 hiding in a bunker recently.

He also says he's having Elon Musk help with his campaign and is considering using him for his own space program. He's already got a VP in mind ... a Wyoming preacher.

Politics aside, Kanye says he contracted the coronavirus in February -- but didn't say if he learned that from getting tested -- and sounded like quite the anti-vaxxer. He called any coronavirus vaccine "the mark of the beast."

1. Well this sounds like complete whack-a-doodle.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Maybe he should vote once or twice before going for the job.

This is ridiculous and stupid. Yet another attention-seeking bozo in a long line of unqualified narcissists.

[Newest Reality]

3. He seem to be...

Cray cray.

[brush]

4. Yes. Very. He says he sometimes doesn't take his meds because it dulls his creativity.

Just what we need after trump, another stable genius.

5. Campaign slogan:

"In your guts, you know he's Kanye."

[kysrsoze]

6. This fucking asshole is now bashing Biden, saying he's "not special" even though he's SUPPOSEDLY

not supporting Drumpf. I don't buy it at all from this self-aggrandizing idiot who just happened to get a PPP loan.

[BannonsLiver]

7. He badly needs a mental health intervention

He also referenced micro chips in CV19 vax. He’s crazy. Bonkers.

[NurseJackie]

8. "Me! Me-me-me! Pay attention to ME!" "Don't forget ME, I'm in here too!" "And me!"

He's a nut.

[Thomas Hurt]

9. Of course, makes perfect sense....

[Nevilledog]

10. Poster child for importance of keeping to your medicine regimen

[Bev54]

11. Why is the media giving this asshat any coverage at all?? n/t

[GemDigger]

12. It's coming from TMZ, a tabloid. Sold at checkout counters.

[brush]

13. Well, the interview was with "Forbes" magazine. TMZ reported it.

And West is just their kind of news, wouldn't you say?

[secondwind]

14. Isn't he bipolar? Where did I read this.....

[shanti]

15. Yes

And when he takes his meds, you never hear or see him.

[MineralMan]

16. What if a celebrity ran for President and nobody gave that celebrity

any coverage at all. I recommend that for DU. Who cares what Kanye West does? It's ridiculous to waste any space here on such a story, in my opinion. Of course, the opinions of others might differ.

[Brother Buzz]

17. Why am I riffing on Gracie Allen?

In 1940 Gracie Allen ran for president on the Surprise Party ticket
