Donald Trump really hopes he gets a chance to run against Kanye West

Trump, who has dominated Republican polls since he announced his candidacy, would normally seem like a long shot because of his loud-mouth personality, and snarky attitude - traits that West also holds dear.
But Trump has proved a lot of people wrong, giving hope for celebrities like West to actually have a chance in future campaigns.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Trump said he didn't "quite get" the comparisons between him and the hip-hop mogul, but hopes West makes a future presidential run.
"I hope to run against him someday," he said. "He's a nice guy."
Trump also sarcastically hinted that he inspired West's 2020 run: "I said, 'That's very interesting. I wonder who gave him that idea?'" Adding, "He's said very nice things about me in the past ... extremely positive things."
Eugene Craig, a 24-year-old political activist from Maryland who started a PAC for West not even 24-hours after he announced, told Business Insider on Tuesday that West would be better for the Republican party than Trump.
"In the age of Donald Trump anything is possible," Craig said. "And if I compared Trump and West you have one person who would shrink the Republican Party and one person who would expand it - it's something worth looking at."
It's still unclear if West is for sure running, but either way, it's going to be fun to watch.
