Creative tweeps just needed the spark of Kanye's speech at the MTV Video Music Awards to imagine a whole new universe! And imagine they did!

The MTV Video Music Awards have benefited a lot from Kanye West since the infamous 2009 incident at the VMAs. Kanye himself said so in his Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award acceptance speech this year and in the process, once again helped MTV by giving the most entertaining speech of the show.
In the speech, he talked about the 2009 incident, he talked about ideas, he talked about smoking some to get the 'edge off' (he was on the edge to accept a pre-decided award?) and in that 'state' he announced that he has decided to run for the 2020 US Presidential elections!
Mic Drop. Over to wifey. Kiss-kiss. Hugs-hugs. Let's break the internet, bro!
Kanye's speech proved to be the best fodder and within a moment, we had tonnes of memes, gifs, reactions, and slogan lines for the upcoming campaign in 2020 (for free! so money saved there, we must say!)
Let's take a look at the top winners -
Yeezys for everyone!
People are simply happy that Kanye's election promise includes giving away Yeezys to everyone! (For those in the dark, these are sneakers designed by Mr West himself, which flew off the shelves after mere minutes of being launched.)

West-Swift for 2020
Now that Taylor and Kanye have made up at last, people want them to join forces. With Taylor's squad, it should be real easy to raise funds for the campaign and in four years, a lot of Swifties will be able to vote too. Is Kanye thinking about this? Consider it, bro!

If this reason is not enough, he must do it to make it easier on his daughter North
Just think #Kanye's daughter North West already has a gate named for her at the WH. #VMA #Kanye2020 pic.twitter.com/F7Rf2ZpuwC
