Remember when Kanye announced that he would be running for president in 2020? He made that bold claim during his Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs in 2015, and praise be, that season is upon us again. The VMAs go down on Sunday night, and this year, Rihanna will take home the Video Vanguard Award, which means she will also give a speech, right? Will she announce her bid for VP? Kanye/Rih Rih 2020? I fucking hope so.
