I’ll bet this article gets a lot of hits. From Charles Hugh Smith at oftwominds.com:
Once leadership of this nature is properly understood, Ms. Swift is eminently qualified to be President.
Before we indulge my flights of fancy, let’s stipulate that Taylor Swift is far too smart to have any interest in public office, as the world is her oyster and there is no upside–none–to accepting public office.
Having established that it’s not in the realm of possibility, let’s explore the “what if” of Taylor Swift assuming the US presidency. To start, let’s note that she turns 35 years of age–the legal requirement to be President–on December 13, 2024, so she will be 35 for her inauguration in early January, 2025.
There are obvious upsides to Ms. Swift assuming the presidency. One, we will finally break free of the gerontocracy that currently rules the nation. Aren’t we collectively tired of having doddering, tottering old folks in charge? Wouldn’t it be a welcome change to have a vibrant, smart, young president who as a bonus, is essentially apolitical?
Two, imagine having a superstar as the US president. Imagine the impact when President Swift vists a foreign capital of oldsters who still dye their hair jet-black with dollar-store hair coloring in a laughable simulacrum of youth. “The president of the United States will now perform a song.” If that doesn’t bring a smile, then you’ve been watching too many doddering, tottering old geezers cling on to power globally.
Here we are, still sending poor 100-year old Henry Kissinger off to Beijing on a diplomatic mission. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to send President Swift instead?
