Changing your name to something stupid is a clear indication that you are unqualified to be the president of the recycling committee in your neighborhood, let alone a superpower nation.
It's a form of protest. He's clearly not actually aiming to get elected.
That's what you think, but this is actually a play to be officially remembered in the Library of Congress, like all candidates who receive a certain number of votes.
These protests are getting sillier as time goes on. I'm waiting for one with a rubber duck. No specific application of the duck in mind, just has to be included.

The prophecy has been fulfilled and so have I.
Thank you.
