Everyone believes they are capable of holding public office now.
The Hollywood elite are amongst some of the worst self-aggrandizing people who actually believe they are qualified.
And now it truly is looking like this A-list actor is really running against President Trump in 2020.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the biggest movie star in the world right now.
His sales value in the global market dwarfs other actors by comparison. In fact, it’s not even really close.
And maybe Johnson feels that’s a good enough qualification as any to be Donald Trump’s successor in 2020, because he’s planning on running.
It started with an interview with GQ magazine where he contemplated running for office, but that hypothetical ballooned weeks later during a Saturday Night Live episode he was hosting where he announced his candidacy with Tom Hanks as his running mate.
Everyone thought it was a joke, and nobody really took it seriously.
Until now.
Breitbart reports:
A West Virginia man has formed an official campaign committee to attempt to draft actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson into the 2020 presidential race.
The organization ‘Run the Rock 2020’ was officially registered with the Federal Election Commission on July 9, according to a Statement of Organization on the FEC website.
The entity appears to be the first official effort to draft the 45-year-old Baywatch star, who reportedly holds dual American-Canadian citizenship, into the presidential fray.
The committee was registered by one Kenton Tilford, who listed a West Virginia address as the organization’s headquarters.
Emails seeking more information sent to addresses listed for Mr. Tilford and for the ‘Run the Rock 2020’ organization were not immediately returned.
Johnson — who has emerged as one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood in recent years with roles in hit films including the Fast and the Furious franchise and the disaster movie San Andreas — has hinted that he may make a foray into politics during recent media appearances.
In a May interview with GQ, Johnson said that a future run for the presidency could be a “real possibility” for him.
“A year ago, it started coming up more and more,” the actor told the magazine.
“There was a real sense of earnestness, which made me go home and think ‘Let me really rethink my answer and make sure I am giving an answer that is truthful and also respectful.’”
In the same interview, the actor — who has attended both Republican and Democratic national conventions, and is reportedly a registered Independent — blasted President Donald Trump’s immigration policy and his “ban” on entries from some designated Middle Eastern countries.
“I believe in our national security to the core, but I don’t believe in a ‘ban’ that bans immigrants,” he told GQ.
“I believe in inclusion. Our country was built on that, and it continues to be made strong by that. And the decision felt like a snap judgment.
I feel like the majority of, if not all, Americans feel that protection is of huge importance,” he said.
In an appearance on Good Morning America shortly thereafter, Johnson said that Americans’ desire to see him run was reflective of them ‘wanting to see a better leadership happening right now.”
Hollywood can warp people’s minds to the point of massive delusions of grandeur, but Johnson might be taking this too far.
It would be best for him to wait until 2024 when Trump finishes his second term.
Johnson doesn’t know jack about national security, economics, foreign policy. Hell, when was the last time (if ever) that he read the U.S. Constitution?
Are you talking about The Rock or obama ? LOL
Both.
And we all know how experienced and well-versed Trump is in national security, economics, foreign policy . . . WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF RUSSIA! LAND OF IDIOCRICY AND FREEDUMB!
Never heard of him. Don’t need actors running for president.
We had a great President with Ronald Reagan however; the Rock would be just that…a rock if he was elected !!!
LOL You have got to be kidding! If you want a Socialist/Communist MOVE! No one will care!!!!! Our Fore Fathers made this a GREAT FREE COUNTRY FOR US, you don’t like it GET OUT!
He had been president of the Screen Actors Guild and governor of California, so he wasn’t just starting off at the top.
Jim, that was then, this is NOW!! BIG difference!
Right, he’d sink right to the bottom…
That’s right . . . we’ll settle for a narcissistic, reality TV CHILD actor! Geez. Talk about the dumbing-down of America!
That will make Trump a sure winner if the Rock runs.
Anyone but a Clinton.
Sure looks like a close second to a CLINTON!
Hmm, will he be running as a Democrat or Republican? Or as a Actor?
He’ll be running as an “Insignificant” Liberal!
He is not running. Fake news.
Just what we need A tooth fairy and a cartoon cowboy! Give us a break! Boy, talk about desperation!
He doesn’t stand a chance against President Trump. He’s been in too many movies and he let his belief in the make-believe world cloud his mind.
I’ve read a couple of articles where his co-stars have said he’s arrogant. I really like him as an actor, but not as my President. We don’t need more arrogance in the White House. We just got rid of 8 years of that!
The Peoples’ CHUMP, laying the smackdown on his Candy Ass Ignorancy. Tom Hanks as V.P.? What happened with Mick Foley, The Rock and Sock Connection? If ya Can’t Smell what ya cooking, IT DOESN’T MATTER what your name is. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS MY VOTE. THE REAL MAN WITH BALLS GET THE REAL JOB DONE!!!!.
Think we know MSM and the hill don’t like ‘outsiders’ even if we love them. Why would the Rock give up everything for the abuse?
Think we learned lesson from Obama. We need a person who will get something done.
I LOVE the Rock BUT don’t agree with his “open door” policies. We have to draw the line and start taking care of our own first for once
Actors, like children, should be seen and not heard!
Come to think of it, he does kind of look like obama. Except as a male.
No he isn’t. He is not the one who threw his hat in the ring. Someone else simply entered his name. Fake news.
He is on fire right now, he’s not going to give that up right now
I have long thought that Hollywood had a A-List, now I know so! I wonder what the “A” stands for?
Doofus alert!
What are we going to have another NIGGER running?
He’s worth a lot of money, but, he has no idea how to run a business, OR a country. Mr. Trump’s business sense is one of the reasons people voted for him. He has experience in a lot of areas already. All the Rock knows how to do is pose, & try to look sexy. I like him as an actor, but lately he’s gotten a big head, & is being totally ignorant.
Why not? We have already have had one African American/Caucasian whose main previous political experience was voting “Present” in the Illinois State Senate.
i wouldnt say A list at all !!!
stupid is as stupid does. who ever this guy thinks he is, someone needs to wake him up to reality.
D. Johnson is dreaming! I won’t vote for him over Trump. If he truly doesn’t understand Trump’s immigration ban, then he’s definitely not presidential potential. This ban isn’t against LEGAL IMMIGRATION – it’s against illegal immigration and from countries that have most terrorists. People who stubbornly ignore and reject the true intent of Trump’s words and actions are not going to be a President who will protect America and her citizens. These people are deathly dangerous to humanity and those who are ignorant of reality and/or refuse to see and believe the reality of them don’t belong in our government. Dwayne Johnson lacks discernment and discrimination and I don’t him as my President!
Johnson has repeatedly said he is NOT running for political office as of 7-18-2017 and your story clearly says that a single person has started a page to get him to run.
yet your title says that he is going to run. Now either the author lied in his title or you are making up fake news. Which is it?
I never heard of him. This nation was built on IMMIGRATION. Obama seems to favor those who want to be here as a separate society, and not Americans. As far as I can see The Rock is just another Left Coast Liberal. Liberals seem to prefer leading from the rear, we’ve had enough of that.
… LEGAL immigration.
And at far lower levels than today’s legal immigration (like less than half!)
The criminal aliens in this country are nearly 25 to 100 YEARS worth of legal immigration at the rates during the period 1930 to 1990. In 1990-1991, the number quadrupled (Thanks a lot, H. W.) and then settled back to about a million a year (double the previous rate).
They want to lead from the rear because they want to butt **** every body!
I heard that’s the way they like to do it.
Exactly . . . that’s why so many are eagerly bending over for the Trump Royal Screw!
The worst part about Trump so far is the libtard press coverage.
Yeah, well, he could cut back on his tweets and accelerate his schedule – but otherwise, not bad so far.
Tell Ryan and McConnell to get congress off their butts and push the President’s Agenda. Tell the Rino’s shape up or ship out, and tell McCain to Stop running around with this New World Order nonsense. If Americans wanted a world without borders, they wouldn’t be building walls and bolstering our boarders. I think McCain wants to be President of the World, I don’t think he’ll live that lond, and Obama wants first Dibs on that. They have been pushing this folly for hundred years. I think it was the last Rothchild that just died, and he was a hundred, and still hoping.
McCain shouldve stayed in Vietnam if he wanted to become dictator one day…
Not enough money! He’s thinking President of the world, just like Obama!
Last thing we need is for this loser to run for office. His brains were fried in the wrestling ring.
No f’in way! This arrogant ass has no qualifications for any position in the government, much less than as President of this country. Just so much more bull shit they want to blow up our asses. Not gonna happen!
There’s not a sole in la la Hollywood fairyland I would trust with a steel block let alone a governmental office. Shades of another Al Franken loser. Stick with movies, Rock.
Take note Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. You are a good man, but you do not have any type of experience in running businesses and especially a Government. Just becuase you are an actor and rich does not give you the qualifications to become President. Obama was proof what happens with no experience. Obama was proof it takes more than have Hollywood and wealthy foreign donations put you in office! Obama was the worst President in the history of The United States!
Fairy Boy is running —— and I thought that people were going to encourage real people and problem solvers to get in there……
Hmmmm -I guess I’m on the dems hit list too…..back in the days – I spoke to just about every nationality out there was especially russians… They were doing their fly by’s in bears or fighters and we talked all the time….They love their country like I love the US – They are having problems with their families like we do – they have problems putting food on the table – bills – etc….. When called on to do their duty – They will do it – just like I and my friends will do ours…..The FEC rules ALLOW for foreign nationals to be part of campaigns but NOT contribute MONEY…….It’s all BS……besides – they took more than enough money from foreigners including the russians…..
Great ——– another CA kook…..
These Hollywood stars have such big egos who think we care. Get a life Dwayne!!!!
Well, he’s the biggest buffoon in Hollyweird right now!
This would not be a good choice for the Rock.
Actors=scripted plots of bloviated distorted and glamorizing to the “NTH” degree… of the real reality.. Folks they are very talented folks that entertain for excitement of unreality, wishful simulators for exorbitant mounds of $$.$$$.$$$.$$$.
After the disaster of Obama, Dr. Ben Carson is probably the only black American who would stand a chance of winning! Winning an Oscar does not qualify one to be THE potus!
Oh dear, a bonified meat head from la la land and Hollyweed. Stick to your acting career darling!
Trump is trying to drain the swamp not fill it back up again. Trump will kick this guy right out. Does anyone really believe these stupid fake articles. In other words lies. Fake news is lies that is real
The Crock for President? I needed a good laugh today, with this stupid Muller investigation ongoing.
Alek Baldwin is going to run, Kamala Harris from CA is going to run, Maxine Waters is going to run, I am pretty sure de blaiso is going to run. This is going to be one hell of a fight between the Democratic Communist Party. Can’t wait.
“A-List” WTF??? You’re kidding, right?
