Kim Kardashian has thrown her four-year-old daughter in the ring to replace Donald Trump as US President.

Kardashian, 36, said North, who she shares with husband Kanye West as wel as son Saint, would be better equipped at running the country.

“Anyone can run the U.S. better. My daughter would be better,” she told Harper's Bazaar Arabia.

“We've worked so hard to get where we were and to have so many things that we were so proud of in our country, to just literally revert backwards is the most frustrating thing.

“Every single day when you can't really believe what's going on, the next day it's something else even more crazy and tragic.”

Her comments come days after she transformed herself into Jackie Kennedy for a shoot with North for Interview magazine.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was heavily criticised, with many saying the pictures were an insult to the memory of the former First Lady.

One person tweeted: “This is a disgrace, You are no Jackie O.”

Another said: “Jackie O turning over in her damn grave right now.”

Some twitter users also wanted to know why Kardashian’s skin colour appeared to have been darkened to match that of her daughter.

One asked: “Why did they darken her skin to try and make her look black?”
