By now you know that Kanye West has announced his run for president in the 2020 election. Nevermind that he hasn’t actually filed any relevant paperwork, done any fundraising, or even declared a party affiliation. (Though he sure does love God these days.) The rapper with the biggest ego in history has thrown his hat in the ring, even if it is all just internet bluff, bluster, and bullshit. Let’s entertain his pledge (or is it a threat?) to join the race — and pretend that he could win. If you thought Trump abused his privileges as president to write some wackadoodle executive orders, just imagine what Kanye could come up with given a staff of yes men and all that political power. These are the 10 absurd executive orders we’d surely see during a Kanye presidency.
