Ric Flair has cut a great many promos over the years, but this might be his worst one yet. The Nature Boy and Waka Flocka Flame are teaming up to run for president ... or something.
There are a lot of layers to this. Flair is obviously the puppet in this plan. The only reason Flame can’t be president is his age. He’s 30 and you have to be 35 to hold the nation’s highest office. He calls Flair his “running mate,” despite being the man who would be president. Flair is there because he is a popular old man, that’s it.
That said, their tag like “Make America WOOOOOO! again” is pretty dang catchy. Aside from that, we have some problematic language in their campaign announcement. Namely that would-be President Flair is sticking to one of his most popular catch phrases:
“I’m a kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, limousine riding, jet flyin’ son of a gun”
KISS STEALING ... ugh ... don’t we have that problem already?
This election cycle is full of people who are upset about the options before them. Who’s to say this man shouldn’t be our next president?

Yeah, no. This can’t happen.
