Move over, Biden. Sashay away, Trump. RuPaul is coming for the White House, and this time she’s not just throwing shade—she’s throwing her (wigged) hat into the presidential ring. Again.
Yes, again. For those with long queer memories (and a calendar), this isn’t Mama Ru’s first political rodeo. Back in 2019, she almost made the Oval Office fabulous as Ellen DeGeneres’ running mate. Their slogan? “Shantay, USA.” Their campaign? April 31. Their odds? As real as Ru’s lashes. Spoiler alert: it was all an April Fool’s gag. But the fantasy? Unmatched.
Now, in 2028, the Drag Race empress is going solo—and serious. With Trump back for round two (we know, we know…), Ru has had enough of busted politics and even more busted policies targeting queer and trans folks. “That orange Cheeto has got to sashay away,” she declared, stilettos sharp and sass sharper.
Her platform? Equality, healthcare, climate justice—and a daily dose of glam that makes your soul feel its puss. No Ellen this time, but we’d bet Michelle Visage is already measuring curtains for the East Wing.
Is it another April Fool’s joke? Probably. But let’s be honest: President RuPaul? Now that’s how you gag a nation.
