The Rock is seriously considering running for president of the United States in 2020
After Donald Trump was elected president, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson fancied the idea of running for president in 2020, as he told Vanity Fair that it would be “a great opportunity to help people”.
According to Washington Post, if he ran for president, he would actually stand a good chance of winning, given his likability, ancestry and more. The Rock posted a screen shot of the article on Instagram, saying that the idea is “very alluring” and signing off with a presidential pin-esque US flag, as the Independent reports:
“Interesting piece from The Washington Post on if I ran for POTUS I could actually win. Writer Alyssa Rosenberg did some pretty good research into my background (slave descendants fighting for their freedom, Revolutionary War etc). Much more to uncover but well done. More and more pieces like this are popping up due to the Presidential election and they’re cool/fun to read… I care DEEPLY about our country… and the idea of one day becoming President to create real positive impact and global change is very alluring. Buuuuut until that possible day, the most important thing right now is strong honest leadership from our current and future leaders of this country. Thanks again Washington Post.”
