In a move that shocked absolutely no one, a Florida man has announced his bid for the presidency in the upcoming election.
Dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, flip-flops, and clutching a half-empty bottle of sunscreen, Chad "Alligator Whisperer" Johnson made his intentions clear during a press conference held at Gator World, a local reptile park.
"Y'all, I'm tired of politicians not getting stuff done. I mean, who needs gridlock when you've got gators to wrestle, am I right?" Johnson proclaimed, as an alligator lazily swam past behind him.
When asked about his qualifications, Johnson confidently stated, "Well, I've survived hurricanes, alligator attacks, and Spring Break in Miami. If that doesn't scream leadership material, I don't know what does."
His campaign promises include implementing mandatory alligator wrestling classes in every school, making Pub Subs the official currency of the nation, and renaming the White House to "The Sunshine Shack."
Political analysts are divided on Johnson's chances, with some dismissing him as a joke candidate, while others argue that in today's political climate, anything is possible.
Meanwhile, social media has erupted with memes and jokes about the latest addition to the presidential race, with many users dubbing him the "Gator-in-Chief" and the "Sunshine State Savior."
Only time will tell if Chad "Alligator Whisperer" Johnson can capture the hearts and votes of the American people. But one thing's for sure: Florida never fails to keep politics interesting.
