Kanye had announced that he would be running for 2020 US Presidential elections back in 2016. In November that year, West made the official announcement at MTV Video Music Awards. "I would like to help [make the world a better place]," he was quoted saying by ANI.

The US President back then, Barack Obama, appeared to referred to Kim's family and said, "In case Kanye's serious about this whole POTUS thing, or as he calls it, Peezy, I do have advice for him." He also said, "You've got to deal with strange characters who behave as if they are on a reality TV show. So you've got to be cool with that."

Donald Trump, also a media personality, is currently the president of United States of America. He was elected on January 20, 2017. US under Trump's presidency has close connections with Narendra Modi-governed India.
