Vermin Supreme for President

Motherboard's initial online impression of fringe presidential candidate, Vermin Supreme, was that he was dead serious, terrifying, and a weird guy that was going to enslave us all.

Supreme is recognizable by his elaborate wardrobe and ludicrous political platforms. He has run in many local, state, and national elections in the U.S. since the 80s, but in 2012, during his attempt at claiming the White House, he became full-on Internet famous thanks to the proliferation of kitschy fan art and YouTube videos.

just look at that man sitting there all smug in his fine clothes in front of his luxury mansion, yet another politician totally out of touch with us, the populous.

This guy is a real man's man, he accepts the fact that he is a meme

[TripGuerrilla]

I really really really wanna see a debate between him and Trump.

[sovietapples]

I spent 4 minutes and 37 seconds watching a man with a boot on his head explaining his political career

My dad, who will be 75 soon, told me when you become elderly, your priorities shift, and you no longer give a rat's ass what anyone thinks about you. This guy seems to be confirming my dad's claim.

I find Vermin Supreme a genius. His campaign is a mock towards all politics.. It takes one ballsy dude to make his whole life a political statement. What an incredible guy.

[varun]

I'd vote for him just because he knows how to use "literally" correctly.

[musicreviewingmelon]

Not the hero we need, but the hero we deserve.

[samuelpelaez]

he comes straight out of adventure time

[nunyabusiness]

I think Vermin has a really good shot in 24.

[rannychin]

This guy was a troll before it was cool.

[mirajanestrauss]

His mother must be so proud of him. I know I would

When your custom character is in a cutscene.

“The bronies have been amazing in their support for my campaign”

[dutchallen]

I legitimately want this man to become president of the united states. 

[LadyIarConnacht]

He's not dead serious, bumblebutt. It's called satire. Plus I'd love to see him for president because he has a brain.

[MrDrewisme]

“Free ponies for all Americans!”

*this man is our only hope*

[pas]

His campaign is mocking every political campaigns: absurd promises and bold claims
For that, this man is a genius
