Hip-hop superstar Kanye West is running for president like Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

But West's real agenda probably only helps the incumbent.

  • Not only

    Donald Trump and Joe Biden

    are running in the

    US election 2020 *

    - but also

    Kanye West.

  • The superstar could become a problem for the Democrat Biden, especially in the "battleground" states.

  • In the background, some Republican-affine makers are pulling the strings.

Munich - Yes, it really does:

Kanye West

has officially applied as

President of the United States of America

and is eligible for regular

election

, as are Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Well, not exactly the same, because West was simply too late with his nomination: The hip-hopper is only on twelve out of 50 ballot papers in the November vote and

mathematically cannot be president

In any case, it can be doubted that this was his goal.

West, who is officially an independent candidate, is considered a great supporter of President

Donald Trump *

, visited him in the White House and showed himself with a

"Make America Great Again"

cap.

Although he is now up against Trump, he is probably pursuing the goal of keeping the president in office.

There are some clues and links exposing West's whimsical candidacy as a Republican plan.

this represents good and America becoming whole again.

We will no longer outsource to other countries.

We build factories here in America and create jobs.

We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment.

Kanye West: He's competing in the "Battleground" states - does that hurt Joe Biden in particular?

This becomes clear, among other things, when you look at the states in which West is eligible: In a strikingly large number of contested “

battleground

” states such as

Colorado, Iowa and Minnesota

.

Here, where the decision between Trump and Biden is getting tight, the "independent" West should use its votes to help Trump win. That this would not be the first time in US history: even before that, third-party candidates have had few Votes

tipped the scales

. For example, in the 2016 election, when Wisconsin only had 26,000 votes between Trump and Hilary Clinton, but the Liberatarian Party got 170,000 votes. Trump himself said on Twitter that he would get more votes through West's support I hope from a democratic core voter group, the blacks.

The political calculation behind the Republican move may have come from

Nathan Sproul

.

He is currently working on West’s campaign and helped Trump into office in 2016 when Sproul’s company received $ 1.8 million from the Republicans.

Sproul was working on his election campaign at the time.

As "CNN" reports, West's team has paid a consulting firm from the state of Arizona almost 1.5 million euros - and this company is Sproul's.

There are more connections according to the "New York Times": Several Republican officials work for West, such as Lane Ruhland from Trump's former campaign team for Wisconsin, Rachel George (Colorado) or the ex-director of the American Conservative Union, Gregg Keller.

Kanye West: election campaign for the US election 2020 resembles a cabinet of curiosities

West's

election campaign,

financed with its own millions of music,

is like a

cabinet of curiosities

.

He runs without an election manifesto, only quotes

Bible verses

on his website

and tweets images that appear religious.

Although he is against abortion, he does not want to ban it, but rather regulate it in an “eco-village”.

He showed this in a

hand-painted drawing

on Twitter.

In his only

campaign appearance

, he burst into tears and called his party

"Birthday Party"

- a play on words. He sees himself as a Jesus figure, as he told the Times: "I'm here to serve. I bleed for the country, I don't bleed only for blacks, I bleed for all people in America.

I bleed for all people in this world

. "

Even if West does not become president - he could definitely harm

Biden,

especially in the Battleground States.
