Logan Paul may be one of this generation’s most hated people, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t also one of the most popular. In fact, he has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, most of them from the ages of 8-14.
Paul is known for being especially idiotic, so it should come as no surprise that he has tweeted he would be interested in running for the President of the United States. In the age of celebrities like Kanye West saying they want to run for president this is not a shock. And don’t forget, the current President was once considered a celebrity as well.
However, per usual, Logan Paul has not thought this one through. First of all, he is only 24. The American law says you have to be at least 32 to run for President, so he has another 8 years before he can even run. On top of that, the youngest President in American history was Theodore Roosevelt, at the age of 42.

Then, of course, there is the matter of the age of his supporters. Most of them will not be able to vote until he is old enough to run, but will they still care about Paul then, or will he have a new wave of young viewers? Most likely it will be the latter; it would be difficult to believe any mature person would find him funny.
I suppose we’ll find out in 2028 if his claims are serious. My guess is probably not, but who can say what will happen nine years from now. If you want to know what other celebrities might be running for president, read about Oprah Winfrey or Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
