Well, those things are PRICEY: Kim and Kanye have sent Obama gifts…

by

Kanye West seems strangely intend on actually running for the White House in 2020 – and now the current US President has weighed in on the rapper's political aspirations.

"It couldn’t get any stranger," Barack Obama playfully told a crowd of Democratic donors in San Francisco on Saturday.

It was a fundraiser that Mr West himself headlined, with his wife Kim also being spotted among the revellers.

And Ms Kardashian made sure to send the President a couple of gifts once the event had wrapped up.

"Special delivery," she captioned an Instagram snap depicting two pairs of Kanye's trainers – the original Yeezy Boost 350, along with the boot-style Yeezy Boost 750 – which had been ear-marked for the President.

Both styles retail for a few hundred euro each.

Mr Obama had earlier in the day leant some invaluable advice to the multi Grammy award-winner – so perhaps Kim felt she owed Barack a favour. 

"In case Kanye is serious about this whole POTUS thing – or as he calls it, 'peezy' – I do have some advice for him," Mr Obama had told the gathering.

"First of all, you have to spend some time dealing with some strange characters who act like they're on a reality TV show. You gotta be cool with that.

"Second important tip: Saying you have a beautiful dark twisted fantasy – that's what's known as off message in politics," he furthermore stated. 

"And number three: Do you really think this country's going to elect a black guy from the South Side of Chicago with a funny name to be president of the US? That’s crazy. Cray."

Of course, both Mr Obama and Mr West both hail from Chicago's south side.
