The veteran singer revealed that he is disappointed with Donald Trump’s style of leadership.

Speaking to Newsweek, Akon said, “I’ve been thinking about running for 2020 very seriously.”

“But I didn’t want to just do it because I feel like I want to continue doing what I’m doing and hope that builds me enough momentum [for people]to say, ‘You know what, if you run we’ll support you.’”

Akon faulted Donald Trump’s stance on immigration among other things.
