Akon talks about running for US Presidency, picking Mark Zuckerberg as VP

American-Senegalese singer, Aliaume Thiam, popularly known as Akon, has spoken about debating with President Donald Trump and lecturing him on governance.

In a new interview with journalists which held at Los Angeles yesterday, the 44-year-old singer also dropped a hint on running for the 2020 US Presidential run.

He also said Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, will be his running mate if he was to run for Presidency.

“If I was to run for President I would actually ask [Mark Zuckerberg] to be my running man.

“Because I think sometimes it takes people from the outside to really see life differently, to make differences,” he says in the video below.

He added that Trump has been making a “huge difference” but not in a positive way.

“I think Trump would have been a great president if he made decisions for the people.

“If he was as passionate as he is for his own interests as he is for the people, oh he would have made an amazing president,” he said.
