And no, this is not a joke. Or maybe it is, but the hashtag is #JohnsonHanks2020.

Fast and Furious star, Dwayne Johnson who hosted Saturday Night Live over the weekend for the fifth time used his monologue as an opportunity to announce his intention to run for the Oval office.

Johnson said, “A lot of people have been telling me lately that I should run for President of the United States. And I gotta tell you, it’s very flattering but tonight, I wanna put this for rest and just say once and for all—I’m in. Starting tonight, I am running for the President of the United States.”

Hanks told Johnson, “We would get 100 percent of the vote,” and he would get the senior vote because he “fought in World War II in like 10 different movies.”

Welcome to the US presidency everyone—no experience required.
