During Kanye West’s “speech” on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, he concluded by announcing a presidential run in 2020.

Aboard an Air Force One flight, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told ABC News that he welcomed Ye’s presidential bid. In fact, he’s really looking “forward to seeing what slogan he chooses to embroider on his campaign hat.” Or maybe his ill-fitted sweatshirt.
