American-born Senegalese singer, Akon has revealed that he is seriously considering running for President against Donald Trump in 2020.
In an interview with Newsweek about facing off against Donald Trump in a recent interview, the 45-year-old said,
“Iâ€ve been thinking about running for 2020 very seriously. But I didnâ€t want to just do it because I feel like I want to continue doing what Iâ€m doing and hope that builds me enough momentum [for people] to say, ‘You know what, if you run weâ€ll support you.—
On Donald Trump’s stance about the future of the country, Akon said
“I feel a lot more unsafe,” he said.“I feel unempowered. Honestly, I feel itâ€s gonna be a fight. I feel like I should be always prepared for the unexpected. I feel very uncomfortable.”
He continued,
“And I feel a lot of Americans do; even some white Americans feel that way because theyâ€re watching backlash of his decisions. Itâ€s not whatâ€s happening now, because itâ€s clear itâ€s creating a whole bunch of divide today. But I think tomorrow that impact is going to be so much more devastating.â€�
On how things were under previous President Barack Obama, before Trump took office in January 2017, the entertainer also added:
“We really came a long way to get people to come together, and look at each other as humans, and work towards a common cause,â€� he told the magazine. “And now it seems like everything that was done is being undone, with gangs and race groups reemerging. Itâ€s just horrible.â€�
It would be recalled that in a previous interview with Variety, Akon said he felt “personally disappointedâ€� by Trump and reprimanded him and his organization for lack of empathy, adding that, the present circumstance in America made him think about a keep running for office, he told the magazine, “Iâ€m running for the presidency if I do it. My target is the bully.â€�
