McGregor vill bli president: ”Gillar mina chanser”
UFC-stjärnan Conor McGregor öppnar för att ställa upp i nästa irländska presidentval. Det skriver The Independent.
”Det skulle inte bara vara jag som var president, irländare. Det skulle vara jag och ni,” skriver McGregor på X. Han lovar bland annat att hålla rådgivande folkomröstningar varje vecka om han blir president.
Idén fick omedelbart stöd av Teslagrundaren Elon Musk, som i ett svar till Gregor skriver att han är övertygad om att fightern skulle kunna besegra alla de andra kandidaterna på egen hand.
”Jag gillar mina chanser Elon, 100 procent”, svarar McGregor.
UFC-fightern har nyligen pekats ut som en av de personer vars inlägg i sociala medier gav upphov till ett upplopp i Dublin som kopplats till den högerextrema miljön i landet.
