Could any of these celebrities be President of the US?
A decade ago, the idea of a celebrity (let alone a game show host) becoming president of the United States would have been considered crazy. Today, all bets are off. American politics is a highly unserious place these days, so why not look at unserious choices?
A digital PR agency called Digital Olympus released this table that equates social media following with “votes” for political office. You can’t do that, of course, but hey, America is weird.
President The Rock? Madame President Tay-Tay or Beyonce? How about Commander-in-Chief Eminem? How could any of them be worse that then clown in charge right now?
