Kanye West has released a platform to legitimize his presidential campaign. If he wins the presidency he intends to concentrate on "freedom of religion, education" and a lot more.
In documents obtained by TMZ the 43-year-old rapper named his presidential platform "Creating a Culture of Life" - intended to appeal to both Democrats and Republicans. According to HollywoodLife, his manifesto promises come with "related Bible verses."
The fashion mogul wants to "restore faith and revive the Constitutional commitment to freedom of religion and exercise of faith." He also fancies re-establishing prayer activities in the classroom. He aims to give better support to faith-based groups.
West promises to lessen the burden of household and student loans. However, he doesn't say how he will do it.
In addition, he wants to reform the U.S. education system to serve the most "at-risk and vulnerable" - giving them a variety of "education and vocational paths" to job opportunities and success. Again, his promises don't come with plans to achieve them.
HollywoodLife said nothing from his 10-point presidential platform has a plan of action. Anyhow, as a president, he wants to maintain a "strong national defense but he has no interest in beginning long wars.
In a salute to his wife West acknowledged Kim Kardashian's work for victim advocacy and prison reform. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star fights for equal treatment for Americans, regardless of "race, color, and ethnicity."
Also, part of West's platform is to protect the environment, strengthen the U.S.' bond with other foreign countries and promote the arts and other "key tenets." The document ended with a request for donations to the Ye 2020 campaign.
Meanwhile, there are rumors Republicans and other Trump-affiliated political operatives are working on getting West's name on different state ballots for the upcoming presidential election in November. In an interview with Forbes, the Yeezy designer seemed to acknowledge he was running to "siphon" votes from Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
West said he was "walking to win" the presidency and not running at all. The interviewer tried to stress that he might have a hard time winning.
A write-in campaign would also not be feasible so there are assumptions he may only serve as a spoiler. West didn't argue these claims and simply said "Jesus is King."
