WHO is John Freedom?
My Story:
I am “Gen Z”, I was born in 2005 to a life of comfort and the warmest family I could wish for- and for a while I obviously had no intentions of running for President although a picture of George Washington did exist in my room as a baby. I need to stress though that I did not come from an impoverished family, and the great parents which I was given are the ones who I accredit all of my successes to.
After developing an interest in Civics and History later in life, the seeds were planted for who I’d become. I found not a mild, but an extreme patriotism in the United States and her institutions, and a genuine desire to help it- I even initially wanted to join the armed forces. Something about Old Glory, with all that she stood for, those patriotic melodies, and all her history caught me like nothing else had ever done.
When I started doing YouTube for the entertainment of my fellow countrymen and others around the world, it initially was purely entertainment focused- with characters, jokes, and video/audio quality that I seldom was satisfied with being everything I was. I wanted to be more. I wanted to be more than just some internet joke.
I first introduced the concept of me running in 2040 as a genuine desire, muddied by my own entertainment style and turning it into a joke at every corner, suggesting to “Destroy France” among other things that I’m sure you know I don’t wish to do. Over 2024 and 2025 it rapidly became more serious, to the point where now in 2026 as of writing this- it is entirely serious.
Currently I am in college studying for a Political Science degree, as a part of my longstanding plan to become the President a decade and a half from now. You might ask, why wait? It’s the legal requirement, I would not be 35 until 2040, and that gives me plenty of time to prepare and build toward my dream. Yes, my actual dream. You could say my dream is to be a YouTuber, but there would be no greater, no more honorable or distinguished dream, no dream as big as the one I have to become the President of the greatest country in the world.
That is my American dream, to become the President, a servant of the people, and serve them and my nation as best as possible. I hope to see you join my campaign; this is a little backstory on who I am-
-And my last name wasn’t always Freedom, but over time, I found myself aligned with it beyond separation. It is my name, and the name you will see on the 2040 ballot.
See you all in 14 years!
This is John Freedom, over and out.
Additional Info:
. I’m 5’8 as of 2026, but hell I don’t need to be tall and mighty to be the winner, or to be a great leader!
. I look up to Presidents like Washington, Jefferson (although I know they owned slaves in that period), Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. I even admire Nixon’s foreign policy, and some of the policies of other Presidents!
. I have been to Washington D.C. countless times, I have flown a plane, I have fired guns, and I have driven a Tank.
. I am a resident of the great state of Florida, and in my plans to become President, I plan on running for local offices and maybe even congressman/senator before the 2040 election there- not just to show my ability to do the job and to build a reputation, but to help my countrymen.
. I was featured in a YouTuber “JSchlatt’s” Bedroom Reviews in 2024 that had a huge part in kickstarting my channel, though I had built up 1,500 subscribers up to that point. I also featured in Quackity’s Discord’s Got Talent with streamer CaseOh in 2025, who said to me: “If it was up to me, you’d be the next- you know- the next talent” and have also met and interacted with countless others, some of which have endorsed the 2040 Campaign! “Antvenom”, “BadBoyHalo”, “Diiify” … and not “Dream” I believe, as he’s still sore about his ‘Minecraft’ loss to me.
. I will eventually be picking the label of Democrat or Republican later down the line, but as of now I cannot and will not. Not to have more supporters, but because it’s so partisan, polarized, and uncompromising- three things I do not agree with, as well as the fact that I hold views that are of both sides of the political spectrum.
. I do not have much facial hair, but many have reached out and said I should break the tradition of hairlessness and grow a real man’s beard or something for my campaign… I will consider it.
. I am a student of civics, history, and a huge nerd for those things. I’d also like to give a shoutout to the niche board game: Axis and Allies.

…But Not Always For My Government.”
