This 19-year-old benefits scrounger who made his own girlfriend homeless wants to be the next Prime Minister (and yes, his main policy is to increase benefits)
Travis Simpkins claims his two idols are Donald Trump and Josie Cunningham
WATCH out Britain… a benefits documentary star has their eyes set on 10 Downing Street.
Self-confessed Donald Trump supporter, Travis Simpkins, 19, believes that he’d make the perfect replacement for David Cameron.
Controversially, the Sheffield teen first hit the spotlight after appearing in a Channel 5 documentary, Benefits Britain: Life on the Dole.
Now, he’s setting his sights a little bit higher, believing he'd "smash it” if he became Prime Minister.
In an interview with , Travis revealed: "I want to be Prime Minister.
“I hear there's a job going and I think if I had a manifesto and it was put big in a newspaper for instance, I reckon people would vote for me. I could smash it.”
When it comes to politics, Travis models himself on Donald Trump because he “loves his opinions and he has got the brains to do well”.
Very much like his idol, glamour model Josie Cunningham, Travis believes the NHS should fund cosmetic procedures.
Even though Travis denies being a scrounger, he isn’t actively looking for work and gets by on his £60-a-week employment allowance.
The teen believes that if the government paid for him to have a new set of teeth, he could then pursue a career as a reality TV star.

If Travis was voted in, he claims that he’d have some big changes to make with the NHS.
He said: "I would make sure everybody who wants new teeth, or holes repaired in teeth, gets them. You can't get that on NHS at the moment.
"I would make sure everyone who wants boob jobs gets them on the NHS."
Travis also claimed that he would be generous in handing out benefits to the nation, especially to help women.
He said: “Benefits would be more as well because they aren't enough.
"I'd give women more benefits than men because women need certain stuff for their monthly business.”
Last year, Travis appeared on ITV’s Judge Rinder, where his girlfriend Jeannie, 26, made some shocking accusations.
During the segment, Jeannie claimed she’d been made homeless because of Travis spending her money on clothes, hair dye and fancy face creams.
"I bought some expensive face creams and stuff like that. I did intend to pay her back.
"I didn't want to be blonde either because I believe, if you're blonde, you'll get remarks like 'dumb blonde'.
"I ran out five days after being given the money."
Feisty Judge Rinder didn’t accept any of Travis’ excuses, branding him “a very silly, very immature man”.
