Jake Paul makes pick for US presidential election - but there's a problem

YouTuber-turned boxer is backing in the upcoming - but can't actually vote.

The 2024 election is being held on November 5 - with the winner set to serve a term of four years in the White House starting early next year. Former president Trump - who won the Republican Party's support - will go head-to-head with Vice-President of the Democrats.

The election is shaping up to be one of the closely-contested races over the last few years and with many across the country sharing their thoughts on the vote, 'The Problem Child' has also taken to social media and weighed in on the key debate as to who people should mark their cards for.

The 27-year-old - who has rescinded his right to vote when he moved to Puerto Rico - released an 18 minute video on X - formerly known as - on Thursday afternoon and detailed why people should vote for Trump. Throughout the video, the young American brought up a wide range of topics including the economy, border control and even transgenderism as issues that's got him leaning towards Trump. "We need to change from Kamala Harris to the Republican candidate, Donald Trump", he began.

When discussing the topic of immigration, he said: "I would also argue that Donald Trump is protecting women by not letting 15 million illegal immigrants through the borders. 662,566 have criminal histories, 13,000 convicted of homicide, and so on. Having those unidentified roaming the streets, I believe arguably is a bigger potential threat to the women of America. Even the Border Patrol Council, the people who are in charge of the border endorsed Donald Trump. Quote: 'If we allow Border Tzar Harris to win this election... this great country is going to hell!'"

While Paul insisted he remains disinterested if people give the 27-year-old stick online, he added that he respects Trump as he is not influenced by 'money' and will be able to make 'proper decisions'. ''And me personally, I don't really like politicians, it's, 'Oh look at me, I'm nice, I'm this, I'm perfect, this is what I'm going to do'", he added. "I like the fact that Donald Trump is a businessman, who has billions of dollars and won't be influenced by some deal or treaty that's going to make himself personally rich.

"Which we all know the dirty game of politics. And the following statement is just my opinion, and not necessarily hard facts, and it's alleged. But, isn't it crazy that, apparently, Nancy Pelosi goes into office and then comes out two, three hundred million dollars richer from knowing what stocks to invest into because of the deals she is making. No. We want a rich, wealthy, president who won't be influence by money and make the proper decisions for the country. Shouldn't this be obvious'?"

He added: "And then hurricanes hit the United States. Thousands and thousands and thousands of Americans who don't have supplies, who don't have basic needs met because Kamala (Harris) and Joe (Biden) spent all of our money funding these wars overseas. But when the Americans need the money, no one's there to help..."

'The Problem Child' - who is currently preparing for his - advised viewers to vote for the former President because it's 'what's right' for the country. "Do the right thing, vote for Donald Trump", he concluded. "Not because I said so, not because said so, but because it's what's right. I've got news for you, most of your favourite celebrities, athletes and all of that are secretly conservative because the left has created a where conservatives like me speaking out have major, major consequences. It's only ok for a celebrity to speak out and endorse the left and that's only going to get worse unless people like myself stand up and say, 'f*** the system!'"
