The Rock Is Too Busy to Run for President in 2020, Even Though He “Serious Considered” It

Your dream of a President “Beef Piston” is dead. For now.

Dwayne Johnson has broken the hearts of the American public, informing them that he won’t be available to run for President in 2020 as was hoped (and not even in a tongue-in-cheek way, either).

"Unfortunately I don’t see it happening in 2020," he told Vanity Fair while promoting his gravity-defying burning-building movie Skyscraper.

"It’s a position that requires years of hard work and experience to learn the skills. There’s a lot of ground to cover, and due to my schedule, it’s not possible in 2020.

"I have so much respect for the position. It’s something that I seriously considered. What I need is time to go out and learn."

A weary nation now turns its hopes to 2024, when President Johnson and Vice President Kevin Hart can finally restore sanity to a world gone mad.

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 county... 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. 🇺🇸 💪🏾
