Kim Kardashian had NO IDEA Kanye West was running for president before he announced it

It's five years into the future and President West is frowning over the latest unemployment figures in the Oval Office. A sweaty aide enters. "Sir? Mr President? Uh… New York is on fire. So's Florida. And California. We've no idea what to d–" "Imma let you finish," says the elected president, "But not now." He returns to his briefcase crammed full of papers, which is also starting to smoke. "Sir?" the aide ventures timidly. "Sir, I believe you are also on fire right now." "Thank you, Jenkins." "Sir."

This is the horrifying reality we could be facing in a few short years if Kanye West has anything to do with American politics, though we might – MIGHT – be saved by the fact his wife Kim Kardashian has no idea what's going on.

She confessed on last night's The Ellen Degeneres Show that Kanye hadn't told her ANY of his plans to become POTUS until he announced them publicly. Which isn't really on, when you think about it.

"That was news to me," she admitted.

"I know that if he puts his mind to something, he'll do his best. It's been interesting to hear all the conversations that have gone on since that announcement. I don't know if that was planned and I just didn’t know about it, or if he came up with that plan right then and there."

Incredible.

Kim, because she's Kim, brought up the tricky subject of interior décor with Kanye, because can you even imagine President West's refusal to take part in international crises before he's got the right shade of paint in his bathroom?

"I was joking with him, [saying] 'You're gonna have to make it to a second term', because he loves redecorating. So I was like, 'You're gonna have to redo the whole White House and we're not gonna be able to enjoy it so we're gonna have to just go with the flow," Kim added.

Here at heatworld, we're completely politically neutral, but for all our US readers out there FOR THE LOVE OF ALL GOOD THINGS DO NOT LET THIS MAN WIN YOUR ELECTION.

What would cheer Kanye up on his birthday?
