Donald Trump is a leading presidential candidate. Let that sink in for a minute. Donald Trump is running for President -- and he’s a frontrunner. My purpose isn’t to argue whether or not he should win, because it should be self-explanatory. Imagine President Trump in a meeting with various world leaders, most of whom already think that we Americans are arrogant and dumb. Could you imagine Donald Trump as the Commander in Chief of our military? Well, one upside would be that he’d be especially inclined to protect our home front since he owns about half of it.
I'm not usually interested in most aspects of American politics; I don’t have the patience for the pretentious double-speak, but this election is different. I’m interested in this election much like I was interested in "The Jersey Shore" when I was 14. This election belongs on reality TV. With that being said, there are a few celebrities I’d like to cast in the upcoming election as Donald Trump’s opposition.
1. Kanye West.
The only man in America with an ego bigger than Trump’s is Kanye. He’s already announced his intent to run, so we might actually see a Trump vs. West showdown if Trump decides to run for reelection. My vote would inevitably come down to choosing the lesser of two evils. Personally, I think Kim Kardashian would make a spectacular first lady, so Mr. West, you have my vote.

2. Rob Gronkowski.
For anyone who doesn’t know, he’s a star football player -- but that’s not important. What is important, is the fact that he’s a superstar party guy. Maybe we need a President who isn’t afraid to step back from the mess we’ve made as a nation and throw back a few tequila shots in the Oval Office before proceeding. Maybe our world leaders would be more inclined to cooperate with one another if they spent a few bonding weekends together raging in Vegas or Miami. Also, I’d completely trust Gronk managing our national debt, especially after he told Jimmy Kimmel he hoped he didn’t get fined so he could upgrade his party bus. If Gronk wins the election, we might just see party buses replace tanks in World War III. Soldiers would go shot for shot attempting to outdrink each other. I’m sure it’d be a much cheaper alternative to guns and shells, and our only true competition globally, would be Russia.

3. Justin Bieber.
All tabloid jokes aside, I’d absolutely support lowering the minimum candidate age and the foreign born candidate restriction to accommodate Justin’s campaign. I have one reason for this: men with power are extremely stubborn. It’s a fact. Negotiations are completely fruitless when you stick a bunch of pompous politicians in a room together. There is only one thing that can sway these stubborn leaders, and Justin Bieber could be the candidate to finally take advantage. The only thing that can change the minds of these seemingly non-human politicians, over which Justin can totally take control, is their daughters. Think about it: would Kim Jong Un really toss a nuke at us if he had a teenage Belieber for a daughter and risk having her never speak to him again?

4. Dennis Rodman.
Let's assume Kim Jong Un doesn’t have a teenage daughter. Even if he does, there’s no way she’d have access to American music, so she’s probably not a Belieber. Given this likely information, there is one other man who could potentially sway Kim Jong Un -- Dennis Rodman. He’s been to North Korea, Kim seems to trust him, and they appear to be pretty good friends. Sure, Dennis was a bit of an instigator during his NBA career, and his appearance might be somewhat off-putting. The bottom line is that Dennis would be a great way to start smoothing out our relations with North Korea, and I’m sure Kim would be more than happy to provide him with some leadership tips. In time, I think we could support Dennis Rodman with the faith and fervor that Kim Jong Un elicits from his citizens.

5. Vermin Supreme.
He might be the most intelligent candidate, if not the most socially aware in the mix. His political ideologies are, without a doubt, the most likely to “make America great again.” His mandatory toothbrushing law proposal and his promise to provide all Americans with ponies are among the many reasons I’d support him against any opponent (except for Gronk). He truly embodies the American political spirit, assuring voters that “I’ll promise you anything your little electoral heart desires because you are my constituents, and you are the informed voting public.” I could go on and on about this political genius, but I think it’d be best if you saw for yourselves. Here’s a look at the man I’m predicting is our next President.
I can’t stress enough how difficult it was to make this list. There are so many Americans who deserve a spot in this article, but this is definitely my top five. While none of them are currently campaigning (except for Vermin Supreme), I wouldn't count any of them out. Don't be surprised if one of my picks ends up dramatically knocking Mr. Trump out of the running. Also, don't be surprised if literally any of the other current candidates, who are actually qualified for the job, end up winning.
