#lindsaylohan2020 gets my vote for president. A truly independent woman who has been thru thick-n-thin.

Lohan told her followers what she would work to improve in her first move as president.
The first thing I would like to do as president of ?? is take care of all of the children suffering… https://t.co/Xpf9V7LQvL

But apparently playing the children card did not get her sympathetic votes. In fact, many tweeters are making jokes about Lohan’s abilities to run a country.
#LindsayLohan2020 and #kanyewest2020 claiming to run for president in 2020? Well sounds like Canada in 2019 doesn't sound so bad after all.

But according to fans she will not be 35 by 2020, just one year short of eligibility to be president.
So #LINDSAYLOHAN2020? Sorry girl, you gotta be 35 to run for president! #FAIL. http://t.co/W6Jhg6mnaN

Lindsay Lohan can't run for president in 2020…she'll only be 34. One must be 35 to run…oh well. #lindsaylohan2020 #nevermind
