A Texas man has legally changed his name to Literally Anybody Else and announced he is running for US president in the 2024 election.

Formerly known as Dustin Ebey, the 35-year-old is a US army veteran and seventh-grade math teacher in the suburbs of Dallas, and now has a Texas driver’s license to prove his name change.

He said he wanted to change his name because he was unsatisfied with this year’s presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

“Three hundred million people can do better,” he said in reference to the two frontrunners for the nation’s highest office. “There really should be some outlet for people like me who are just so fed up with this constant power grab between the two parties that just has no benefit to the common person.

Biden is a hell of a lot better than a large number of people would be. Not so much Trump, though.

This is dangerously unclear because it could mean you think trump isn't better than a large number of people, or Biden is better than a large number of people, but not better than trump. Lol

I thought it was clear, but to be clearer, there are very few people who would be worse than Trump. Putin, maybe.
