Lindsay Lohan recently suggested that she would like to run for President of the United States in 2020. No, really. We have proof of this, thanks to her Twitter account.

Just in case she wasn’t clear about this, Lohan also posted her future political ambitions on Instagram:
She actually did it twice:
The first thing I would like to do as president of 🇺🇸 is take care of all of the children suffering in the world.🎹💜🌎🌏👊🏻👊🏾👊🏼👊🏽🙏🏻💋🙌 #queenELIZABETH showed me how by having me in her country 🇬🇧 A photo posted by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on
She also invoked Gandhi in a third Instagram post, though she spelled the civil rights leader and activist’s name incorrectly.
Um, so a few things about this.
First and foremost, Lohan once again proves that second grade math, and probably civics, are beyond her realm of understanding. You are not eligible to run for President unless you are 35 years old. In 2020, Lohan will be 34.
Second of all, I blame Saturday Night Live for this. Declaring your candidacy automatically ensures you a shit-ton of publicity and a hosting slot, regardless of your qualifications.
Thirdly, I seriously do not understand what kind of drugs she is still doing to make her this delusional. Is she ingesting quaaludes on a regular basis?
This is not actually a political discussion, though. This is a commentary on how Lohan is so desperate for attention that she will literally say anything, no matter how dumb it is or how it sounds. She is also piggybacking off Kanye West, who also announced he will run for president in 2020, and I am not sure what he has to offer except extremely horrible taste in fashion.
This is also partially Donald Trump’s fault. Since he is actually running for president — and continues to lead the latest polls among Republican candidates — he has given other no-talent assclowns the idea that they too can run for our nation’s highest, most powerful office if they say the right things.
Lohan’s problem will not go away until 2024, though, since no matter how hard she tries, she will not be eligible in five years. However, this does give her nine years to study national and world issues, and assemble a platform of ideas and solutions.
I think it is safe to say this will never actually happen, but Lohan’s delusions are the gifts that keep on giving.
