Barry Manilow has jokingly suggested he wants to be the US president and that “everybody will be happy again” if he lands in office.
The US singer posted his idea to succeed Donald Trump on Twitter in the 2020 election, much to the delight of his thousands of followers.
I know. I’ll run for president. I’ll make some romantic music. Everybody will get laid. And everybody will be happy again. 😀

The Copacabana and Mandy hit-maker tweeted: “I know. I’ll run for president. I’ll make some romantic music.”
He cheekily added: “Everybody will get laid. And everybody will be happy again.”
The pop star followed it up with a prospective campaign slogan, a play on Trump’s “Make America Great Again”.
“#MAHA. Make America happy again. #Manilow2020,” the 74-year-old wrote.
#MAHA. Make America happy again. #Manilow2020
