--------
Vivek Ramaswamy, the multi-billionaire entrepreneur, candidly shared insights into his ambitious presidential run and the hefty $30 million he invested from his personal fortune. Announcing his candidacy at 37 as potentially the youngest to ever run for U.S. President, Ramaswamy's motivation was rooted in a vision far from conventional political tactics. Emphasizing his desire to ensure America remains a land of opportunity for future generations, he described the advice that inspired him: significant efforts yield significant impacts, whether in small business or national leadership. Ramaswamy discussed how his deep belief in a higher purpose and the American Dream, which he personally experienced, propelled him into the race. Ultimately, his campaign faltered after a modest performance in the Iowa caucus, garnering close to 8%. Reflecting on the end of his campaign, Ramaswamy admitted surprise at the results but noted the palpable grassroots energy, stopping short only due to unpredictable weather challenges. Despite the outcome, his run was characterized by a bold investment in a hopeful vision for America.

In terms of quality of human and candidate: there’s Vivek and then there’s everybody else.

[@90jimmychoo]

Competency wise he has the most credentials to lead a major nation I’ve seen in my lifetime. Millionaire in his 20s, billionaire in his 30s. Founded pharmaceutical and investment companies two tough businesses to be successful in. I have a strong hatred for career politicians who guide policy in business. They have no qualification to tell me what it takes or the best environment to make something of myself. This guy does.

[@BigGfromgrouphome]

Tusli Gabbard is also great

[@anuj_s_world]

He was the only candidate to release 20 years of his tax returns publicly. All the other candidates released 4 to 5 years max. But with Vivek you know his money is legit.

[@jimmyt5241]

Vivek seems like a great guy honestly and fun to hangout with .

He stood his ground with the breakfast club crew. He had my vote.

[@JSmithRecords]

For like 2 weeks, this dude was the frontrunner lol I don't know what happened but I remember he had momentum. Trump fcked it up. This dude would be the nominee if Trump didnt run.

[@WokeOne75]

The GOP is not going to pick a brown person as their Primary runner. PERIOD. They told him as much. They like his ideas but can't get past his skin color and him not being a christian, but a Hindu. In fact, Ann Colulter told him to his face why she wouldn't vote for him. She spoke for many within the GOP and right wing voters.

[@hellunltd2071]

​@@WokeOne75The only reason Vivek didnt win was because his voters went to Trump. And people are voting for Trump because that's what happens with polarization. I mean, gosh, you made me lose like 5 IQ pts just by reading you.

[@quentincampbell612]

​@@WokeOne75that might be true but, there's people in my former party, the Democrats such as Donna Brazille,who are just as racist as others in all parties!

[@WokeOne75]

@hellunltd2071 Your IQ was at that level already. You don't have to agree with me, but we all see that Vivek is now relegated to shucking and jiving for Trump, just like Tim Scott. The GOP and right wingers are simply not going to put Vivek up as a primary opponent. Not now, not ever as long as Republicans have the MAGA wing of the party dominating. He'll continue to tap dance just so they'll let him in the rooms, but he won't ever be given a position of power or influence in this current GOP. He's too brown, too foreign and too non-Christian for the Grand Old Party and you know it.

[@triplebeans4159]

​@@quentincampbell612"might" be true lol you're a delusional fool.

[@RADIO1990]

Just to be able to say , " i spent 30 million of my own Money" is kind of a Flex 😂

[@FoxEyes]

For that action, his campaign was dead on arrival. It showed that he had no real Influence or charismatic people around him to sell is ideas for the office. All in all reminds me of Richie from season 2 on the sopranos, when he tried to get the caps against Toney but no one went for it. Uncle Jr said it best, he he just wasn't able to sell it because he wasn't sincerely respected like Tony or in viveks case Trump 💯.

[@RADIO1990]

@@FoxEyes he was probably hoping for a title in a second Trump administration.

[@tombondcrispy6585]

Tax the rich

[@WokeOne75]

Not really a "flex" when you take into account that he wasn't going to win the primary and he doesn't want to be VP, which let's face it. Trump would not pick anyone that takes the "shine" ad "spotlight" away from him (hence Pence). Vivek is too much of a crowd fav for Trump. So I say he wasted $30Mil. He could've spent much less and still got his name out there.

[@hellunltd2071]

​@@FoxEyes If you have at least 105 IQ pts you know Vivek votes were Trump votes. Without Trump on the race, Vivek would have easily won.

[@WokeOne75]

Let's be honest. Truimp will not put Vivek front and center in his administration. One thing we know about Trump is he does not like anyone to take the spotlight waya from him. Not matter WHO. Guaranteed Trump will give him some "consolation prize" with a small role in his new cabinet. But he will not putVivek in any place to in his mind "take away his attention". Vivek is too popular for Triump to want in a major role.

[@diz354]

It don’t matter if he’s in the front left right or in the background, one thing for sure is we can’t let Biden keep running us into poverty and chaos by giving billions to other countries and illegals.

[@diz354]

Biden made me switch from being a democrat.. I liked Vivek’s campaign, his policies and conversations seem very authentic. I’d love to see a Trump/Vivek ticket. 🇺🇸

[@KlngVJames]

This was a surprising interview and im glad he did it. Its sad to say that he views the presidency with more purity and respect than many of the voters ever will in their lifetime. Let's be real nobody in this country will be able to know the feeling of climbing the full social ladder unlike him. Although I don't agree with his politics, hes seems like a respectable guy that would've taken care of the oval but sadly were not ready for genuine people like him and bernie. To many of us voters, these past few years were only about Red vs Blue and nothing really more than that. I'm pretty sure the only reason most people didn't vote for him was because he is visibly indian and had so much to say. They voted for haley cause of her old republican ideals and they didn't know she was Indian and she can pass as white or native to the eye.

[@ricoconti3141]

If vivek sticks around and keeps that same no retreat no surrender attitude like Trump he can be president 1 day because most Trump supporters love him.

[@StickerFrenzy]

As a generation Z kid myself, I wish we could have Vivek as president. It is a major asset to have somebody like Vivek who understands the youth and can communicate with them. Shoutout Vivek we got your back, I would pick Vivek over trump any day. But I am voting for trump, Vivek your the man come back and run again.
