In this day and age, it is easy enough for some people to let themselves be known in the world, and Instagram playboy Dan Bilzerian is a no exception as apart from being a millionaire and a notorious poker player, he is now pursuing a political career. Recently, the 'King of Instagram' was reported playing poker with U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Rand Paul. And to make it weirder, Bilzerian is allegedly rapper Waka Flame's running mate in the 2016 elections.
Poker champ Dan Bilzerian, if you are oblivious to his existence, is many things. From basic facts such as being an Instagram celebrity and is awed for his lavish lifestyle, being arrested for criminal offenses, having kicked a girl in the face while out celebrating his birthday in a nightclub; to a more complicated and weird particulars including a notorious for allegedly tossing a porn star from the roof of his L.A. mansion, a proud owner of two cats who regularly gets a shaving treatment, and a man who is famous for photos of guns, money, cats, or half-naked women.
And to top all of that to his "occupation," he is now trailing a political career alongside with Libertarian U.S. Senator Rand Paul, who is running for president. According to a report of The Daily Caller, Paul sent out a Snapchat of him taking poker "lessons" from Bilzerian. The two were apparently playing liar's poker using $100 bills. As a testament, there's also a separate image of them in Bilzerian's Instagram account. And as the famous poker player has already taught Paul some card tricks, what would he get in return? Does this mean the US senator is choosing Bilzerian to be his running mate in next year's presidential elections? The said poker session was also taped and is going viral on YouTube.
Likewise, it was on April last month that the U.S. Senator of Kentucky announced his presidential candidacy for 2016 at the Galt House in Louisville. After announcing his campaign in Louisville, Paul already boarded on an early tour of four states. Apparently, seeing him frolicking with Bilzerian had made speculations that he is an attempt to garner many voters as possible. Catching a sight of him with the famous poker player also looked "weird" to many people. At the moment, it is not known if Bilzerian has a good chance to be his running mate.
Now, if you are repulsed that Bilzerian is dogging a political career, you might continue it later as he recently released a line of "Dan Bilzerian 2016" t-shirts, suggesting that he has political plans of his own. The collection of t-shirts was opened on a men's clothing site Rowdy Gentleman. And to make it "politically appropriate," Bilzerian was featured in the t-shirt ad looking super-serious in front of an American flag background. "Millionaire, Playboy, Poker Player, Sexual Philanthropist," reads the tagline.
WEIRDER: Dan Bilzerian To Be Waka Flocka Flame's Running Mate For 2016 Elections
Moreover, while it is still unsure whether Dan Bilzerian will be Paul Rand's running mate for 2016 elections, it looks like American rapper Waka Flocka Flame beat the senator to it as he took to Twitter his announcement that he will be running for president with Bilzerian being his running mate. It looks weird enough that Waka Flame is up for a presidential candidacy. In this fashion, we can't make the head or the tail of this situation with Bilzerian.
"I'm running for President!! #Waka2016 #WakaforAmerica #Waka4Prez https://rol.st/1OzJnSi @RollingStone," he wrote on April 20. And while the typical candidate is aiming for a "world change" including economic growth, scholarship for students, and gender equality, Juaquin James Malphurs (the rapper's real name) is promising to immediately legalize marijuana, make people with feet above size 13 never walk the streets again, and ban dogs from restaurants.
Fair enough. If that's Dan Bilzerian's dream to pursue a political career, no one's hindering him. But he should make sure not to mess everything up, shouldn't he? Will you be voting for the 'King of Instagram' if it happens? What about Waka Flame? Are you convinced with his presidential platform?
