what if Mr Beast ran for president we removed the papa meat video 48 YouTube's number one content creator Jimmy Donaldson also known as Mr Beast announces a historic bid for the presidency of the United States from here America's biggest YouTuber joins a crowded presidential field for the White House throughout the past several years Mr Beast has floated around the idea of running for president those close to him have also mentioned his White House Ambitions but what would a Mr Beast campaign look like how will it operate we wouldn't know cuz it would be 11 years years away I here's the problem with uh Mr Beast becoming president number one it would never happen number two he can't even run how old is Jimmy like 25 he wouldn't be able to run for a decade in this video we're going to find so how his campaign would look or who he is then I mean in 10 years though in 10 years could Jimmy win the presidency if he got that 10 years if he got that famous say he scales on the level that he is right now in terms of popularity there would be people that would vote for him now though I think he would win I think Jimmy could win one city but the majority of people voting aren't going to vote for him he might pull young audience but what like what would his political stance even be in this video we're going to find out subscribe and leave a comment to let me know what you think today we're going to base Mr BEAST's platform and chances off of historic precedent and predictions let me ask you that about being the greatest YouTube ever what's next because I was listening to your Rogan and I swear to God I thought this guy should be president is that no I'll say that would be fun that would be fun that'd be that'd be a casual side quest you know just running just running the United States yeah that'd be cool while I'm while I'm filming squid games 2.0 yeah the only thing political aspirations um uh yeah I I would love to from Jimmy's past Express disdain for climbing the political ladder from local office to National we assume he spends his time up until this point continuing building his YouTube Empire and other businesses such as Feast ofos as I just don't think he would be a good president bro I met Jimmy Jimmy's a chill dude I doubt he knows any thing about how to run a country he probably knows about finances and like whatever affects him very greatly but I don't think that he could step up to the plate and just be the president in an Insider article Mr Beast plans to run for president in his mid-40s by the time he's in his mid-40s the nearest presidential year will approximately be 2048 by 2048 Jimmy will reach the Constitutional age of Eligibility being at least 35 years old and already meeting the 14-year residency requirement as well as being a natural-born citizen having been born in Kansas slightly less than half of the states in the country allow candidates to use nicknames on the presidential ballot in these states for more name recognition and for brand cohesion we assume Jimmy would run as Mr Beast other states that prohibit nicknames Jimmy would obviously have to run as Jimmy Donaldson it would make both poetic and logical sense for Jimmy to announce from his home town in Greenville North Carolina a town he never left as his current base of operations in the present Mr Beast works with the town's mayor in monthly calls on using the Mr Beast business to help bolster the town's economic growth it would be symbolic to announce from a town whose economic success he's played a significant role in and especially if his home state of North Carolina solidifies as a swing state in the next few decades having been just decided as recently as the 2020 election by just about a percentage Point making the state competitive for Democrats and Republicans in 2024 inevitably because it's politics Mr BEAST's public opinion will drop once he jumps into the presidential remaining ail dudee his public opinion would tank that's why him being president would just be bad because if you're a president and you're the best president this country has ever seen half of the country will still hate you people don't like presidents until after they've gone 20 years in the future if you're a great president and you do your job fantastically in your job career everyone will somebody said come visit me I'm in belmare buddy I'm not coming to [ __ ] B you just started following me 10 seconds ago I'm Banning you if you're a president and you run for office you effectively have half the country hating you right I mean maybe not half because some people on the other side might be like oh actually he's doing a decent job but for the most part people are just party driven they're just going to say you're a [ __ ] president if you're not the side that they're on it's like being a [ __ ] fan of a sports team 10 15 years down the line they might look back and like you but in the moment people would hate Jimmy political and nonpartisan is something that Jimmy's been very conscious of for a long time his manager Reed commented on advising Mr Beast in 2018 to avoid the use of guns in his videos and I him and I talked about a lot in the early days is like but he has guns in his videos we got to stop the gun stuff right like there's a format of that on television and there are ads that play before that video but a but a 18-year-old kid in the middle of nowhere you know shooting stuff at random was like not something people were going to sponsor another case of this has been shown in a podcast from Lex fredman interviewing Mr Beast when asked about his opinions on censorship Jimmy deferred the question with Shadow Banning and censorship and all that kind of topic especially if you see it in other platforms like Twitter do you think about the role of centralized control which information isn't or isn't made available through search and Discovery I'll be honest I never really think about it so uh you just you just try to make fun you might not honestly think about it but also Jimmy is very unopinionated Jimmy almost never shares anything that he ever thinks about if it has two polar opposite view points if you're Mr Beast and you have 1550 million [ __ ] Subs almost anything he says could [ __ ] trigger somebody to hate him right so he's motivated to basically just be a very tolerant person to every single opinion ever videos that yeah I'm more I'm kind of more In My Own Lane but it's not like that I don't just specifically think about that I just like a lot of stuff in general like I'm just kind of In My Own Lane thinking about my own stuff one of the reasons why he has expressed wanting to run is to work on bridging our political polarization like many Americans Mr be's political views can't be labeled democrat or republican in the two- party system talked about defending uh about the lgbtq when defending Chris on Twitter I think that's a bit different because he was entirely prompted to talk about Chris because the amount of people that were speaking on it and Chris is effectively one of Jimmy's lifelong friends so there's a need to in that stance get a few Clues on what a Mr B's presidential platform could look like based on Jimmy's work on team trees and team se's being pro environment would obviously be a plank on the platform so will Social progressivism which parallels just public support for the black lives matter movement and the lgbtq community supporting his childhood friend Chris's transition economically he's voed support for some form of universal basic income or stimulus okay shut the [ __ ] up I don't know let's just give all Americans a million dollars that should fix most problem okay so what I'm gathering from this tweet here is that jibby is uh supporting Universal based incop this has nothing to do with Ubi this is him just saying okay let's just give everybody money this isn't Ubi if if if we actually this is a joke if we played all of this out and we gave every American a million dollars inflation would Skyrocket and we would all be [ __ ] homeless or stimulus he's interacted with the 2020 presidential candidate Andrew Yang in the past who made these ideas mainstream it also makes sense as he's built a career off of giving money he has stated that he wants to show he can't be bought if I had literally zerar in my bank account and I was like vote for me I feel like that's a pretty good campaign thing these Progressive policies mirror the lean of young people including the iPad kids who comprise many of Mr BEAST's audience they will ease in and comprise the majority of America's electorate and will be part of his winning Coalition but the point is by the time Mr Beast runs the youngest of his current audience will be a voting age Mr BEAST's Olympics video also yeah if Mr Beast ran in 10 years and all of his Subs voted for him he could probably win a lot of States shows what his foreign policy could look like such as what countries he would recognize if elected president of course that's not without controversy it's been called a geopolitical nightmare and cursed for the countries it recognizes and doesn't there will be several key advantages Mr Beast will enjoy but also disadvantages he'll suffer from among the list advantages includes obviously he can sell Finance Jimmy has strong financial backing he stated that he would make giving away money a part of his campaign because Mr Beast can self- Finance his campaign he's less likely to listen to the special interests including Poco action committee I don't know if he would be able to self Finance his own his own [ __ ] candidacy did Trump could better self finances own candidacy than [ __ ] Mr Beast you know how expensive it is to run run for president how expensive is it to run for president the Obama campaign in 2012 spent $400 million like he Jimmy doesn't have that and lobbyists an electorate tired of corruption could find this refreshing and there's precedent to this billionaires before such as Ross perau most notably financed their own national campaign however perau didn't enjoy the name recognition that Jimmy has right now and will likely increase in the future which leads why is it so much dude I at the end of the day a campaign is a lot of PR [ __ ] to make you look good and your other opponent look bad and just getting your name out there getting your name out there and then convincing people to vote for you if you're able to convince people that you're the best candidate even if you're not you don't have to be the best candidate to win I wish it was that way but it's not the best candidate always never wins the best candidate is never the two [ __ ] that are standing up on stage there's always somebody that's better and would be a better president they just don't have the pool or the cap capacity to become president me to my next Point loyal following already Mr Beast has more social media followers than many former US presidents and sitting Senators his YouTube channel has been watched by more than 10% of the world in terms of viewership and following no other Creator comes even close he is undoubtedly the most influential content creator ever in YouTube Jimmy's campaign can bring a large swath of traditionally apathetic voters into the voting process like other celebrities such as Taylor swi Jimmy already wields the influence that can increase turnout in Civic engagement with a social media post these firsttime voters who believed in Jimmy before he entered politics Will Follow Him there attention yo he does have a lot of pull if Jimmy ran 10 years from now he knows a lot of [ __ ] famous people that would promo him for probably nothing Mr Beast will enjoy the luxury of having traditional media and the internet on his side but y dead ass he probably he could probably do it just cuz like dude run the presidential debates and just the presidency in general has gone so brain rot like when when when are the debates I know there's one since when are the debates 2024 June 27th yeah in like 2 weeks when we see those debates it's going to be like they're going to go on stage and and Joe Biden's going to walk up there and they're going to ask Joe a question and Joe's going to start answering it then Biden's going to go or not Biden Trump's going to go I don't even ask him that question there's no point in asking him that he's a [ __ ] idiot he doesn't know how anything Works he doesn't even know where he is right now he's a dumbass go get him some ice cream somebody get Joe an ice cream sandwich he has no idea what's happening and me me I'll run the country again I know I know I was recently incriminated for like 4 34 charges that doesn't matter I can I can pardon myself once I'm president or especially the latter it'll be a big thing on the internet for sure because it's POS and then they're just going to start [ __ ] they're just start [ __ ] on each other that's the it's going to be the whole thing possible that they could elect the First YouTube president it was the internet that propelled a then Senator Barack Obama into the national Spotlight you know what they call him they call him sleepy Joe he doesn't know how he he he doesn't know where he is again and helped in his for the presidency as he used the internet to build a Grassroots Doner base it was traditional media's laser coverage of celebrity Donald Trump's campaign sold too they're both old as [ __ ] dude they could both die they could both die today helped him win as well a lot of debates and other events in the presidential election process involve playing to the audience Jimmy is a natural Entertainer he knows how to communicate his message most effectively which is key to a country seeking new leadership Outsider and he speaks very simplistically he's good at that he's got the the he's got the the third grade speech down like Trump he could talk to anybody anything Jimmy says people will understand that's part of the presidency as well you got to be able to appeal to everybody another Advantage for Mr Beast is being an outsider historically the country has had a hunger for anti-establishment figures that can shake the system up Mr Beast with his lack of traditional political experience can be used as a strength as voters will look to him as an anti- career politician candidate someone who could be seen as the man of the people as he hasn't been in Washington for decades and still remains in incredibly grounded to the people throughout his philanthropy among the list of disadvantages Mr Beast running as an independent or his own Party candidate has a strong chance of being locked out of the presidency if the country doesn't abolish the electoral college system historically independent as well as they're going to need to get rid of that if there ever is a third party that gets votes they're going to have to get rid of that or this country is going to be [ __ ] dude the Electoral College is so [ __ ] stupid because it only works with two parties if you once you add another party in it it never it just it just it just doesn't work it just doesn't work because you can't you need enough how many do you need like 200 something 270 something you need the majority to win right and you need to reach a certain amount to win but if you have a third party that takes five six seven states away they're not going to reach 270 third party bids for the White House have failed in recent memory we have not had an independent US president unless you run under one of the two parties your chances of winning the presidency are slim even former president Teddy Rosevelt who failed to secure his election nomination as the Republican candidate chose to run as a third party under the Yo Teddy Roosevelt was a badass though dude Teddy Roosevelt that man that man stood up got shot and gave a 35 minute speech moose label even a former president failed to get a sizable share of the electoral votes I will not make age an issue of this campaign I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponents Youth and inexperience age could also be made an issue in the campaign voters might think Mr Beast is too young at this point in time older voters who are less likely to know of Mr Beast or pragmatic young voters will write bro that also annoys the [ __ ] out of me that old people only vote for old people like brother give somebody the give somebody give somebody you know the old Crown that's [ __ ] 40 let's stop voting for people that are [ __ ] 83 Mr Beast off as a perennial I Honestly though when I think all the Boomers die I'm not I'm not like wishing they I'm not saying they should or anything I I love I love a lot of Boomers I my grandparents are boomers when all the Boomers go I think the whole we're only going to vote for old ass [ __ ] will slightly go away verman Supreme who runs every cycle while wearing a shoe for a hat again assuming he continues making YouTube videos up until this point other sides Jimmy for his lack of political experience and will write him off as unserious they will argue that Jimmy's experience as a YouTuber will not translate over to being a good world leader but then again America has had an Entertainer to the presidency pipeline California elected Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan to the governorship and then later the country elected him to the White House even more wasn't Arnold the governor of California amazingly America elected Donald Trump directly to the presidency who unlike his 44 predecessors held no office prior it's impossible for pundits at times to 100% accurately predict the next election cycle much less predict a cycle decades away who knows Mr Beast might not even run for the presidency because of the time he needs to allocate to the campaign as well as the years of planning in advance winning the presidency would also require Jimmy to sacrifice four years of his life at the minimum and if he wants to seek re-election another four on top of that the job itself already hard to earn will require lots of energy and stress by the end of Jimmy's term he could wound up with I mean no lie though the stress Jimmy deals with as a Creator is probably harder like he's the biggest Creator in the world the stress he has from that better prepar him for presidency than the stress of like an Idaho Governor a lot of gray hair but Jimmy definitely not you think I you think the Iowa governor Iowa the I'm not talking about Cali you think the Iowa governor deal deals with more stress on a daily basis than Mr Beast I would I would have this argument for 4 hours does he have a lot of responsibilities yeah Mr Beast runs like I don't know 50 [ __ ] channels and gets so much [ __ ] every he gets more [ __ ] than some genuine Senators the amount of people that [ __ ] just diss him every day for no reason he would be locked in smart like for his buried alive or no eating video he'll consult with the veterans in the field he'll have meetings with the best campaign strategists consultants and organizers he can find before making a decision already he's been in some sort of political conversations he's friends with those in politics including former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and billionaire Elon we're not going to call Arnold the [ __ ] politician he's been on a poker show with Senator Ted Cruz and he is during blindness videos spark political dialogue while any presidential election in the 240s is decades away the grounds for a potential Mr Beast presidential campaign is constantly being built whether Jimmy knows it or not everything Jimmy's doing across the country opening a Mr Beast Restaurant in New Jersey to giving money to strangers in California is setting up the groundwork for Mr Beast I remember this video dude president the people whose lives have been touched by him will be his most loyal supporters and and if Jimmy wins it'll also pose further interesting questions can an independent president work with such a partisan Congress on passing legislation will he improve America's image in the world but the question for now remains will Mr Beast run is this I would be such an [ __ ] If I Was President oh my God I would have an individual meeting with every Senator I swear to you I that' be like the first thing I would do I would talk to every [ __ ] I would be like let's have a oneon-one for the next [ __ ] month I would talk to every every single Senator every single house rapid I'd be like bro stop you you got to lock in here buddy okay you got to stop you got to stop swaying for your [ __ ] party vote for what you think stop voting for re-elections cuz that's all they do that's all the the little 300 Gremlins do that are in [ __ ] office is they vote for what will get them another another term they don't vote for what they actually believe this is ingame additionally if he agrees to mount such an ambitious bid is the vote for you I would never want to be president I would never win and I would never want to be president that job would suck that Mr Beast has now plus what he accumulates in the future enough to overcome the two- party system only time will tell for Jimmy
