Add another incident to the Trump election manipulation resume.

Voter fraud. No wonder Trump assumes the Democrats will cheat, because he’s doing it. Nice.

Does anyone have any doubt that Kanye is running only in the hope of bleeding enough votes from Biden to enable Trump to win?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

I don't know what Kanye thinks. He's bipolar, appears to be in a place where his family is concerned about him, and he could very genuinely feel that he is doing something good that isn't about undercutting Biden. It's hard to say.

It does appear the Trump campaign sees Kayne as a vehicle for accomplishing that, though.

If Trump was in on this plan, it is yet another instance of idiotic racism. They think black people are going to vote for Trump because of Kanye, or that Kanye will bleed AA votes?

Again, this will only work with idiots, and Trump already has the idiot vote locked up.

I acknowledge the plausibility of that hypothesis. It may very well be true. Thanks for pointing that out! :smile:

At least that much is almost certainly true! This would also explain why some Republican groups are actually contributing to and raising money for Kanye's campaign. They have apparently acknowledged to themselves that it is highly unlikely that Trump is going to win just on his own merits alone.

That, and they seem to have accepted that Trump is highly unlikely to win just on his own merits alone.

After 1298 days (who's counting?) of the Trump Administration, the GOP is very comfortable with exploiting mental illness.

I wish these celebrities would shut their mouths. Like it or not they are influencers and we've already got a celebrity in the White House. Ain't working out very well.
