Logan Paul would put brother Jake in charge of nuclear weapons as president

Logan Paul has said that he would happily put his brother Jake in charge of nuclear weapons if he were to win the presidency when he runs in 2034.

The elder Paul brother is 27-years-old, meaning that he would need to wait 12 years if he is to run for office, which he has teased in the past. And he has joked that he would make his younger sibling the vice president should that bid be ultimately successful.

Logan made the declaration during a pre-fight speech ahead of his brother's fight with Anderson Silva last month, which he ultimately won by unanimous decision. He was attempting to motivate Jake ahead of the bout and evidently did just that as the younger Paul dominated UFC legend Silva on route to a big win.

"You've always been my little brother, but it doesn't feel like that any more," Logan told Jake in an emotional moment backstage. "Not only are you not so little now, but you've expanded in mind, your circle, your emotional intelligence and somehow your capabilities.

"You're one of the few humans on this planet with limitless potential, from making silly home videos before YouTube even existed to changing the entire landscape of combat sports. Everyone in this room knows just how powerful of a being you are, that's why we're all here.

"You make it incredibly easy to be a proud brother, and one day if I run for president, I'd be honoured to have you as my vice-president or maybe secretary of defence. You will be in charge of the red button, the all-powerful nuke - which also happens to be at the end of your right hand!"

Logan's political aspirations have long been talked about, although he would need to wait another 12 years for an election in which he would be eligible. The minimum age for a US president is 35-years-old, while the current youngest president on their inauguration day was John F Kennedy at 43.

The brothers' political leanings appear to be quite different, which would possibly cause a problem if they were to run together. Jake is an outspoken supporter of former president Donald Trump, while Logan tends to lean away from that area and appears to be more aligned with Democratic candidates and ideologies.
