It would be "an absolute godsend for Donald Trump" if rapper Kanye West was to run for president ahead of the 2020 presidential election according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. "You wouldn't put anything past 2020, anything could happen," Ms Panahi told Sky News host Peta Credlin. Ms Panahi said the move could potentially split the black-American vote which would normally go to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

Don’t ‘rule out’ the prospect of President Kanye | Sky News AustraliaIf Donald Trump was able to defy expectations and win the presidency in 2016, perhaps Kanye West can do the same in 2020, according to the Australian’s Institute’s Ebony Bennett.\n\nMr West has announced he is running for US president - and he has already won the backing of billionaire Elon Musk.\n\nThe American rap star posted a message to his 29.4 million Twitter followers in which he suggested he was entering the 2020 presidential race.\n\nIt was not immediately clear if Mr West was serious about vying for the presidency four months before the vote takes place on 3 November, or if he had filed any official paperwork to appear on state election ballots.\n\nThe deadline to add independent candidates to the ballot has not yet passed in many states.\n\nUS President Donald Trump - who West has been a vocal supporter of in the past - is set to go head-to-head with Democratic candidate Joe Biden in November's election.\n\nMs Bennett told Sky News said Mr West has never shied away from politics.\n\n“If Donald Trump can become President of the United States, then I think Kanye could do it,” she said.\n\nHe has been very political, not only in his artistic career, but also in his personal life, I recall him talking about George Bush not caring about black people in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.”\n

Trump recognises US is engaged in a ‘cultural civil war’ | Sky News AustraliaIn one of his most momentous speeches of his presidency, US President Donald Trump vowed to fight against the “insidious hard core neo-Marxist totalitarian political agenda” currently plaguing the west, according to Sky News host Rowan Dean.\n \nDonald Trump has blasted 'angry mobs' trying to tear down statues as he claimed protesters are attempting to 'wipe out' US history in a speech to mark America's Independence Day.\n\nThe US president addressed more than 7,000 supporters at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.\n\nFollowing weeks of protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody, Mr Trump criticised demonstrators who have destroyed or damaged monuments of Confederate leaders and other historical figures.\n\nMr Dean said President Trump was displaying strong conservative leadership “that recognises just how pernicious and dangerous, and successful, the left's march through our institutions has been.”\n\n“Trump then went through the achievements and philosophies of the four great presidents carved up behind him on the side of Mount Rushmore, repeatedly and cleverly reminding the audience, and America, that in tearing down statues and symbols, the thugs, criminals and anarchists are attempting to destroy the soul of the nation,” Mr Dean said.\n\n“Donald Trump is doing what I have been crying out for for weeks... that recognises just how pernicious and dangerous, and successful, the left's march through our institutions has been.\n\nThe culture wars are real. We are under attack. You can pretend it's not your problem, like Scott Morrison does, or you can run up the white flag, like Boris Johnson has. But in the end, the reason the Left keeps falling in elections is because the great silent majority know, as Trump does, that this is a values and ideas war that we must win.”\n

‘Ideological arguments’ show Trump Derangement Syndrome runs deep: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the fact some Leftist media organisations can view the success or failure of a drug used to potentially treat COVID-19 “as being ideological” shows just how deep the Trump derangement Syndrome runs. \n\nIt was revealed this week that the drug hydroxychloroquine, which has been hailed by US President Donald Trump, may in fact be effective as a potential treatment for COVID-19. \n\nMr Kenny said the US President saw the anti-malaria medicine as “a wonder drug”. \n\nHowever, much of the media “including our own ABC, has derided it and dismissed its potential,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nWhile CNN recently reported the drug’s potential ability to boost survival rates among patients, but in the past criticised the President’s endorsement of it. \n\n“How they can view the success or failure of a particular drug as being ideological just shows how deep their Trump derangement syndrome runs,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nImage: AP
