美国明星“侃爷”坎耶·韦斯特最近再一次成为外媒关注焦点，因为他说……要竞选美国总统了！

Kanye West said last Saturday he is running for president in the 2020 US election.

“侃爷”于7月4日在推特宣布，他将加入2020年美国大选，竞选总统。

“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” West tweeted. “I am running for president of the United States! #2020VISION.”

他在推特上写道：“我们现在必须通过信任上帝、团结我们的愿景和建设我们的未来来实现美国承诺。我要竞选美国总统。”

7月4日也是美国的独立日。

Fans immediately tweeted their support for the musician and business mogul, who has a history of promoting himself and his projects with political statements. So far, it doesn’t appear West has any intention of actually running for president.

CNN报道指出，“侃爷”的粉丝们在推特上纷纷表达支持，他本人也一直用政治表态来推广自己及相关项目。但是目前，“侃爷”方面并没有展现出真正参与竞选的意向。

Kim Kardashian West also retweeted her husband’s announcement with an American flag emoji.

“侃爷”的妻子金·卡戴珊则转发了“侃爷”的声明，还配上了美国国旗的表情包。

With the election only four months away, West still needs to register with the Federal Election Commission, present a campaign platform, collect enough signatures to get on the November ballot and more. He has already missed the deadline to file as an independent candidate in many states.

CNN的报道中还指出，距2020年美国大选投票仅剩不到4个月的时间了，“侃爷”如果参加选举的话有很多事情要做：他首先需要去联邦竞选委员会注册，然后开启竞选平台，并且要在11月投票前获得足够多的签名等等。就目前的时间点来看，他已经错过了在很多州申请作为独立候选人参选的期限。

West’s announcement isn’t the first time he’s teased the idea of running for US president. West first said he would run for president at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. He ended his acceptance speech for the Video Vanguard Award by saying he would run in 2020. But in January 2019, he tweeted “2024,” seemingly delaying his plans.

当然，这也并不是“侃爷”第一次把参选美国总统当作话题了。2015年的MTV颁奖礼上，他就说将要竞选总统。他在获奖致辞时说自己会参加2020大选。但是到了2019年1月的时候，他又发了“2024”的推文，看上去竞选计划延期了。

Over the past few years, West has both gained and lost fans over his vocal support of Trump. West regularly tweeted his admiration for the President, donned a red “Make America Great Again” hat, and visited the Oval Office.

据CNN报道，过去几年，因为支持现任总统特朗普，“侃爷”收获过粉丝，也失去过粉丝。他会经常转发敬佩特朗普的推文，自己戴上“让美国再次伟大”的红帽子，也曾到访过白宫的椭圆办公室。

2018年10月11日两人会面时，CNN报道“侃爷”说自己戴上红帽子后，感觉像超人。

However, he’s recently diverged from the President over the Black Lives Matter movement and protests against police brutality and racial injustice. In June, West donated $2 million to support the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, three Black people who were killed in incidents with police and citizens.

然而，CNN报道指出，面对最近美国各地的“黑人命也是命”运动以及反对警察暴力和种族不公等抗议活动，“侃爷”和特朗普分道扬镳。6月2日，“侃爷”捐出200万美元给在警察执法中死亡的三位非洲裔人士：弗洛伊德、阿博里和泰勒的家人。
