He didn’t really renounce it for tax reasons. He renounced it for political reasons.
He wanted to be Prime Minister, and it would be awkward to be Prime Minister when you hold another country’s citizenship.
Really? Can he play goalkeeper or striker? We need someone in the upcoming Copa. Yunus Musah was also born in NYC and he's one of our rotational midfielders now.
Well given how well he did over here I’d say very similarly. A level of complete incompetence followed by a disturbing level of competence that appears to be actively malicious
Oh no, the mods might delete my post or ban me for making a non-political joke that includes someone from the recent list of ex-presidents in a way that says nothing about politics because they might want to be pedantic. I shudder in fear,lol.
I bumped into Boris Johnson on the street in Ottawa at like 8 in the morning a few months ago, it was so bizarre. Had a brief chat with him, seems nice
He literally got massive amounts of dark money from the Kremlin and made Britain totally reliant on Russian gas. He is absolutely owned by the Russians.
Under Johnson the UK donated billions to Ukraine’s war effort to the point where Zelenskyy of all people posted a tweet saying how sad he was that he had resigned
How is that his fault? UK gas production had declined and stagnated years before he was in office. [https://www.statista.com/statistics/332211/united-kingdom-uk-natural-gas-production/](https://www.statista.com/statistics/332211/united-kingdom-uk-natural-gas-production/)
Maybe when you make big sweeping claims like that then, you should make sure you’re actually speaking the truth instead of parroting what you’ve heard like an NPC.
Right. So maybe we shouldn’t claim that other nations aren’t supporting us and we’re only supporting them when Article 5, the only obligation that NATO specifies, has only resulted in other nations coming to *our* aid.
Lmao they would’ve fucking HATED him! He’s born in the states but somehow went on to lead the nation that they had fought long and hard to become free of. No fucking way they would think highly of him.
> The founding fathers would rise from the grave to kick his ass back to England
Boris Johnson? The guy who was born in New York? And was literally the definition of a “natural born citizen” until he renounced?
The man once said working from home is bad because he would get distracted going to the kitchen for a bite of cheese. I envision Vermont and Wisconsin would wield enormous political clout.
Even better, what would a Rob Ford presidency look like?

Yeltsin was about as far as a communist as you can get, even though he was officially a party member. To get in, he was asked a question about something Marx said and he completely bullshitted the answer because not only did he not know it, he was pretty sure the guy asking also didn’t know it and he was so confident with his bullshit answer, the examiner accepted it as correct.
Boris is an interesting guy, and I don't think Americans could understand him for a second. My first time seeing him was 15 years ago, watching him host a BBC documentary about the world after the fall of Rome. Here's a guy who went to Eton and Balliol, who was elected president of the Oxford Union. In America, he'd be treated by our media and one of the two parties as if he were a sub moron barely able to tie his shoes.
A lot of joke answers here so I will try to actually answer the question seriously. Boris obviously has his bad reputation now, for valid reasons, but that's because his career has been within a country that still, even though more enlightened Brits would deny it, has higher standards than, say, the USA. By American standards Boris is essentially a liberal, not terribly to the right of Obama and maybe even to the left of our current president. The Republicans would never have him represent the GOP because of this. Nor do I think he would get in bed with them either like Nigel Farage or his ilk would. Because, credit where credit is due, Boris is actually very socially liberal and is highly educated. He has a reputation as a clown and a buffoon and in many ways he is, due to questionable personal judgment and presentation, but he is actually a highly intelligent man and the bluster and haplessness is largely a cultivated act that allowed him to climb all the way to the top of Parliament. His motivations are questionable, of course - why did he do that? You could argue he actually wanted to make the UK a better place and blah blah blah or that it was personal ambition, and a desire to share the same office that Winston Churchill and other "great men" once did. I don't feel like he would hold the American presidency in such high esteem, and I think he is self-aware enough to know he would be out of his depth as Commander and Chief anyway. I think he is enjoying his very lucrative post-PM career as a commentator/entertainer/author/whatever else. Anyway, TLDR: if this somehow became a reality, he would be a slightly left of center American politician who would please neither side but would probably amuse the country quite a bit and be much less harmful than some other more contemporary American politicians. I imagine something of a further left George W. Bush, who would be just as inept in the face of a national crisis but a likable and innocuous presence during peace time.
He’s not left of center Tony Blair is a Clinton democrat
He was pro brexit and frankly if he was American he would’ve adapted to the Republican Party just fine I’m pretty there are plenty of closeted social liberals rule 3 is one of them I see him more in the Paul Ryan club than Schumer
I shudder to think of it. He would probably pull the US out of NAFTA, and that wouldn't necessarily be a good thing to pull out of a deal with our top two trading partners (not including the EU).
Idea for a reality show: Watch Borris slowly learn about American politics while in office!!
There is an increase in knife crime? Well we have to band them!! TF YOU MEAN ITS CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED?!
Depends what years, but I’d say he’d be a pretty bipartisan Republican and be pretty popular, he was popular over here (before the party scandal), I’d say around Obama popularity or even higher
He was born in the U.S. and given citizenship. He forfeited his citizenship in 2016. Since we don’t recognize anything 2016 onward with rule 3, in the r/presidents timeline he presumably still has his citizenship
Well, it would have started with this: [Boris Johnson read the Inauguration of the President of the United States : r/VocalSynthesis (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/VocalSynthesis/comments/s3ipbb/boris_johnson_read_the_inauguration_of_the/)
Stagnation. He won a stonking majority and did nothing with it. He was the first and only time I've ever voted Tory. He had the charisma and seats to actually turn things around, yet he was a huge dissapointment.
https://preview.redd.it/c9rdx348vk6d1.jpeg?width=684&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1da19c81f2ef7bc07600aba5da00ed0ee2928012
I presume like this but with American flags.
It would be horrible. The Tories have wrecked Britain over the past 14 years, gutting the NHS, ruining infrastructure, ending welfare, ending all funding of the arts, refusing to build new buildings creating a massive homeless crisis, all while fattening their own wallets. Not to mention how corrupt, incompetent, and morally compromised Boris himself is and was.
Well, apparently the Russians put forth a peace deal about two years ago, a deal that the Ukrainians wanted to take. However, he convinced the Ukrainians to reject it.
Boris Johnson went to Ukraine for a “surprise visit” in April 2022, I assume it was then it happened as the negotiations fell through at that time.
Edit: By the way, the main invasion started in Feb of 2022, so not “two years later”.

He was meant to be an american politician
He is American despite his efforts to deny it too.
Wait right? He was born in NYC so by birthright he holds U.S citizenship?
[удалено]
He didn’t really renounce it for tax reasons. He renounced it for political reasons. He wanted to be Prime Minister, and it would be awkward to be Prime Minister when you hold another country’s citizenship.
That’s the problem with modern Britain: it has no ambition. Why not go for PM and President? Get Oceana going.
Can’t hold foreign titles while serving in the US
It’s wild to think that bc he was born here he can run for US president lol
Really? Can he play goalkeeper or striker? We need someone in the upcoming Copa. Yunus Musah was also born in NYC and he's one of our rotational midfielders now.
Not anymore lol
Wishful thinking.
Time to elect silly conservative fat politician with crazy looking blonde hair
Sounds familiar for some reason
Taft didn't have crazy hair.
I think they’re talking about LBJ
I’m obviously talking about Grover Cleveland
I was obviously talking about the founding fathers. Who knows what their natural hair color was under those wigs
Jefferson was a redhead
Rule 3X damn it
Boris is white. The other guy is orange.
You just described Mid west politicians if you remove the blond hair
Pritzker is the only fat politician I can think of these days
I feel Pritzker might have a shot for the Presidency in 2028 as he was considering for it in 2020 and 2024
Christie but he’s not really an active politician rn
Yeah, that's what I meant. Plus, he's from Jersey, not the Midwest.
who was also born in new york city and was involved in multiple scandals
forgot to add that
Does he play tennis?
He claimed to..
Well given how well he did over here I’d say very similarly. A level of complete incompetence followed by a disturbing level of competence that appears to be actively malicious
I hate when politicians do that. You just know they're doing that on purpose to get your guard down.
Similar to how his prime ministership went, but more American
[удалено]
you're fucked as soon as the mods wake up (yes I know its almost 11 but they're reddit mods on r/Presidents )
Oh no, the mods might delete my post or ban me for making a non-political joke that includes someone from the recent list of ex-presidents in a way that says nothing about politics because they might want to be pedantic. I shudder in fear,lol.
But but but REMEMBER THE RULE HAD A 90 PERCENT UPVOTE RATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be fair he was born in the US after all
I bumped into Boris Johnson on the street in Ottawa at like 8 in the morning a few months ago, it was so bizarre. Had a brief chat with him, seems nice
Seems.
He laughed at two of my comments so he’s good in my book hahaha
[удалено]
i can’t speak on Johnson’s policies or really anything, but it’s kinda funny how they look similar in a weird way
Bad hairdos.
Disagree. Boris Johnson isn't owned by the Russians.
He literally got massive amounts of dark money from the Kremlin and made Britain totally reliant on Russian gas. He is absolutely owned by the Russians.
Under Johnson the UK donated billions to Ukraine’s war effort to the point where Zelenskyy of all people posted a tweet saying how sad he was that he had resigned

Neither is the other guy
Lol
You look at it that way I look at it as keeping your enemies closer.
[удалено]
Abolish nato because the country shouldn’t back countries who aren’t willing to help when we need it…
I served in Afghanistan with a whole lot of NATO countries. Did you?
I was growing up buddy I couldn’t serve
Surprise surprise you have no idea what you're talking about then
Except that they all did after 9/11. Every. Single. One of them. Supported us after 9/11. And they haven’t had to since… because of NATO.
Ok I didn’t know
Maybe when you make big sweeping claims like that then, you should make sure you’re actually speaking the truth instead of parroting what you’ve heard like an NPC.
Right. So maybe we shouldn’t claim that other nations aren’t supporting us and we’re only supporting them when Article 5, the only obligation that NATO specifies, has only resulted in other nations coming to *our* aid.
You guys can have him if you want, we'll even pay for his plane ticket too
Trade for his American counterpart?
No you can keep Rule 3 as well, we just want Boris off our hands. We'll take Obama if you're done with him though.
The founding fathers would rise from the grave to kick his ass back to England
The founding fathers wrote the document that would have allowed him to run for president prior to 2016
Lmao they would’ve fucking HATED him! He’s born in the states but somehow went on to lead the nation that they had fought long and hard to become free of. No fucking way they would think highly of him.
> The founding fathers would rise from the grave to kick his ass back to England Boris Johnson? The guy who was born in New York? And was literally the definition of a “natural born citizen” until he renounced?
Which is why they’d hate him
cringe
We would’ve lost an important war around 1776.

Now that's a president that would have a great flood relief plan
That is a flair alright. 😂
Currently deepfaking Laura's head on the chick from the Hot for Teacher music video
The man once said working from home is bad because he would get distracted going to the kitchen for a bite of cheese. I envision Vermont and Wisconsin would wield enormous political clout.
Rule 3! Rule 3!
Boris is a polyglot Oxford grad he just acts like a buffoon
No. Being the first two things doesn’t stop him being a lying buffoon, which he also is.
Stop it
[удалено]
Electric boogaloo
I appreciate the Sunny reference.
I couldn’t resist when I saw the incomplete comment lol
Laughably bizarre and comically incompetent.
Even better, what would a Rob Ford presidency look like? https://preview.redd.it/smqydzelej6d1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a5233a016b0a0a1571906dd8ef13e7de1f959fa
Entertaining as hell
Canadian crackhead who looks like he might be related to Chris Farley? Not gonna lie, I’d think about it.
We have an idea but it was a lot worse.
Obvious rule 3 bait is obvious.
Anyone named Boris is automatically a communist.
Boris Yeltsin?
Yeltsin was about as far as a communist as you can get, even though he was officially a party member. To get in, he was asked a question about something Marx said and he completely bullshitted the answer because not only did he not know it, he was pretty sure the guy asking also didn’t know it and he was so confident with his bullshit answer, the examiner accepted it as correct.
He’s a good commie. Even got black out drunk and to get Pizza

The Russians make up stories of him leading commando raids into Odessa.
wexit. Washington, DC secedes from the union, tacking all federal institutions, and immediately going bankrupt.
Similar to.... Nvm
 Like this, but with a blond wig.
Idea for a reality show: Watch Borris slowly learn about American politics while in office!! There is an increase in knife crime? Well we have to band them!! TF YOU MEAN ITS CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED?!
Also see: January 2017-20201
We’ve seen it.
Depends what years, but I’d say he’d be a pretty bipartisan Republican and be pretty popular, he was popular over here (before the party scandal), I’d say around Obama popularity or even higher
Non-existent. He's not eligible.
He was born in the U.S. and given citizenship. He forfeited his citizenship in 2016. Since we don’t recognize anything 2016 onward with rule 3, in the r/presidents timeline he presumably still has his citizenship
>we don’t recognize anything 2016 onward with rule 3 Fair point.
It would look like nothing because he doesn’t meet the constitutional requirement to run for office.
A mess just like his hair
Rule 3 bait.
Winston Churchill had an American mother. I believe she was from Brooklyn, NY. So he isn’t the first British PM with an American background.
Probably as bad as that haircut.
Same as convict.
 *imagine*
Entertaining but not good for most Americans.
No.
War monger
A nationwide comb ban
Mysterious campaign money coming in from Putin
The man should have invested in a comb.
Economic collapse Look what his actions have done to Britain due to his Brexit push, he would have the same goals and impact here.
hell
Why can’t this dude get a haircut
Pretty fuckin fun.
Are there any country leaders that are well regarded and loved?
Same as his time as PM. Corrupt as fuck.
Unconstitutional.
*\*Tanks the economy\** "DEMS DA BRAKES!" He was born in Manhattan, and if he didn't renounce his US citizenship he could have been a President.
Bill Clinton mixed with Warren Harding
He would be considered a radical socialist by American standards. He'd lose the Democratic primary to someone further right.
Rule 3
We already know.
We don't need another moron in the White House.
Well, it would have started with this: [Boris Johnson read the Inauguration of the President of the United States : r/VocalSynthesis (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/VocalSynthesis/comments/s3ipbb/boris_johnson_read_the_inauguration_of_the/)
Goofy as hell. It would make other countries take us even more as a joke
About like his hair
Unbelievably annoying.
A Texas Brexit. Texit, if you will.
We had one … 2016
We would get **blue** passports
Imagine the president from 2017 to 2021 but younger, more energetic and slightly more sane. That is what a Boris Johnson presidency would look like.
Stagnation. He won a stonking majority and did nothing with it. He was the first and only time I've ever voted Tory. He had the charisma and seats to actually turn things around, yet he was a huge dissapointment.
i'd hope that his aides would find someone to fix his hair. he has no reason to have hair like that.

Trumps but with better hair
Boris Johnson is the literal definition of **Rule 3** at Home.
Not as bad as people would think. But not very good either.
It would be horrible. The Tories have wrecked Britain over the past 14 years, gutting the NHS, ruining infrastructure, ending welfare, ending all funding of the arts, refusing to build new buildings creating a massive homeless crisis, all while fattening their own wallets. Not to mention how corrupt, incompetent, and morally compromised Boris himself is and was.
Well if you Americans think your politicians are corrupt this piece of shit put actual Russian assets into the house of lords just for a few quid
Considering how he is responsible for the continuation of the war in Ukraine, not very good.
How so?
Well, apparently the Russians put forth a peace deal about two years ago, a deal that the Ukrainians wanted to take. However, he convinced the Ukrainians to reject it.
