Every person who runs for the Presidency or Congress has a “messiah complex”, thinking they are g0ing to resolve everyone’s problems or gripes or wish list. This may or may not be a serious announcement, but, if it is serious, wouldn’t it be appropriate to wait and see what he expects to do as president before dismissing him? I dare say there will be a lot of less qualified people making a similar announcement before long.
If I was a Democrat and had the choice of voting for Biden or Kanye I would choose Kanye.
Messiah complex.
