Kanye West Is Running For President In 2020 Election, But He's Not A Fan Of Traditional 'Policy'

Kanye West is serious about running for president in the 2020 U.S. election.

After making his candidate announcement in a tweet on the Fourth of July, the "Stronger" rapper is now speaking out about where he stands on a wide range of topics that could affect his campaign, including his previous support of President Donald Trump, how he views presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and his thoughts on the word "policy."

In a four-hour interview with Forbes published Wednesday, the Grammy Award-winning artist revealed that his idea to run for president first came to him in 2015 in an unlikely place: the shower.

Now, following his entry into the 2020 race, West, who said he would classify himself as an independent, is drilling down the issues that could potentially play a role in voters' minds if he does, in fact, officially challenge Trump or Biden.

Throughout the lengthy conversation, West revealed that he is pro-life, against the death penalty, and is interested in ending police brutality. Several of these opinions, he added, are directly related to the Bible and his Christian faith.

However, West made it clear not everything has been set in stone regarding how he would tackle certain issues should he enter the White House. After acknowledging that he has not yet come up with a strategy to address tax reform or foreign policy, he revealed that he may completely stray from using the term "policy" to describe anything he does moving forward.

I don’t know if I would use the word policy for the way I would approach things. I don’t have a policy when I went to Nike and designed Yeezy and went to Louis and designed a Louis Vuitton at the same time. It wasn’t a policy, it was a design. We need to innovate the design to be able to free the mind at this time.

Beyond discussing his platforms, the 43-year-old also addressed the two candidates that he could potentially face off against. Calling Trump "the closest president we've had in years to allowing God to still be part of the conversation," West made it clear that his initial support of President Trump was perhaps more multifaceted than some initially believed.

"One of the main reasons I wore the red hat as a protest to the segregation of votes in the Black community. Also, other than the fact that I like Trump hotels and the saxophones in the lobby," West said of being previously seen wearing a Make American Great Again hat.

As for Biden, West explained that he is not the biggest fan of the former Vice President. "...And Joe Biden? Like come on man, please. You know? Obama’s special. Trump’s special. We say Kanye West is special. America needs special people that lead. Bill Clinton? Special. Joe Biden’s not special."

Looking ahead, West concluded of his plans, "The other thing is, my campaign is Kanye West YES, not YEP, not YEAH. YES. YES. YES... When I’m president, let’s also have some fun. Let’s get past all the racism conversation, let’s empower people with 40 acres and a mule, let’s give some land, that’s the plan."
