With Miley Cyrus hosting the VMAs yesterday, there was no question that this would be one crazy show. But the most shocking moment last night came from Yeezus himself.
After accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and in classic mic drop fashion, Kanye West informed the world that he plans to run for President in 2020.
"It's about ideas, bro. New ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth," he said. "And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
Obviously the Internet freaked out.

I hear Kanye was incoherent, random, and high on his own ego in announcing his run for President.
Don't knock it. It works for Trump.

Could it be? Kanye/Swift 2020?
We'd also have to deal with this...so maybe not.
