President-Elect Trump probably shouldn’t get too comfortable in the Oval Office — at least until he finds out what The Rock is cooking.

Although Dwayne Johnson has talked before about the possibility of entering politics, it seemed like something that might happen in the distant future. Now, however, it sounds as if the future could be closer than we think.

Asked Sunday whether he might consider a White House bid in 2020 to help reunite a divided country, the WWE wrestler turned movie superstar told Vanity Fair, “I wouldn’t rule it out. It would be a great opportunity to help people, so it’s possible. This past election shows that anything can happen.”

The Rock Vs. Trump in 2020 presidential elections? After Trump won the presidency, I can believe anything.

I'd vote for the Rock. Two consecutive WWE hall of famers in office? Awesome.

*The Deadman* · 11-14-2016, 02:24 PM

The Rock would probably be a better "black" President than Obama.

If his VP is Hulk Hogan, I'll vote for him.

*Prowler* · 11-14-2016, 04:07 PM

Part of me feels this is my fault.

*XERO* · 11-14-2016, 04:24 PM

Start callin' him "The People's President" already.

*IndigoErth* · 11-14-2016, 05:14 PM

And teasing it better be.

Could we possibly just not continue a trend of celebrities trying to be presidents, governors, etc..

I mean, at this point, it's only a matter of time before we end up with a Kardashian. Overheard a co-worker at break today jokingly suggesting Kim as a first lady and were I eating I'd have choked.

The highest, most powerful job position in the land and it has little qualification requirements other than birthplace and age. Eesh, even a lot of little stupid jobs these days prefer a bachelors degree, require background checks, pee test, sometimes credit check, etc. Maybe running for Pres. should at least have an IQ test and psychological evaluation attached.

**** it. Might as well let it be exclusively celebrities at this point. Even with Hillary, she's a lousy politician who's been in the spotlight for the past 25 years, so she was more "celeb" than "stateswoman".

And all these idiots on the internet want Michelle Obama in 2020 lol. So yeah, **** it. Vince Vaughn, Matt Damon, Chris Rock, Tila Tequila, Drew Carey, Andy Dick, Barney the ****ing Dinosaur.

We fools don't read anything anymore, or actually care. We just want good television and something to harp about on our social media platform of choice. #hashtag

I'm just waiting patiently for President Camacho.

*plastroncafe* · 11-14-2016, 05:31 PM

So we're ignoring her 8 years as First Lady, 8 years in the Senate, and 4 years as Secretary of State.

Totally nothing more than a celebrity.

I'm not ignoring, I'm saying she sucked at it.

First lady? *fart noise*

NY Senator? Least free state in the country *queef noise*

Secretary of State? I have a lot to say, but I know I won't change your mind in the slightest *sad trombone noise*

Either way, she's always been more of a tabloid magnet than anything. You can probably blame Bill.

*plastroncafe* · 11-14-2016, 05:47 PM

You can probably blame Bill, I've my own theories.
But, I applaud your uses of "front fart."
That's bold, given how pearl-clutchy people've gotten around here for that.

Upon further reflection, I kind of dig the logic...because I can crib it to talk about how crap Reagan was as both a legislator and executive.

Hahaha Camacho was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread

As a fellow Reagan detractor, I'd be interested in your take on him.

*plastroncafe* · 11-14-2016, 06:14 PM

The only good thing I can say about him is that he was once speaking at Disney World the same time as my family was visiting.

The lines for the cool rides were way shorter as a result.
That was nice.

Killing me with the sound effects.

Ron Perlman has my vote already...sorry Dwayne.

*Krutch* · 11-14-2016, 07:03 PM

Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

If I could vote, I'd vote for Rock only if he spoke at every hearing in character.

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-14-2016, 07:19 PM

Insert "Idiocracy" reference here.
