From Elon Musk to Kanye West, let's take a look at former President and Republican presidential nominee's celebrity endorsers.
Top 10 celebrity supporters of Donald Trump
1. Mel Gibson
Donald Trump has found support in actor and filmmaker Mel Gibson who thinks Kamala Harris has got the IQ of a fence post.
In a brief interview with a cameraman while heading toward TSA at an airport last month, Gibson said, ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s going to surprise anyone who I vote for." When the cameraman said, "I¡¯m gonna guess Trump. Is that a bad guess?" Gibson responded, "I think that's a pretty good guess."
2. Kanye West
Ye is expected to vote Trump to Power. The rapper has been going through a lot on the personal front but seemingly extended his support to the Republican in August after he attended a pro-Trump rally in Beverly Hills, California.
3. Elon Musk
It doesn't get more obvious than this. Musk has not only gone all out in supporting Donald Trump, but he has also left no stone unturned to bring Kamala Harris down. After publicly voicing support for Trump earlier this year, Musk has since supported the campaign by interviewing Trump on X and appearing at a rally with him.
4. John Schneider
John Schneider is an avid supporter of Donald Trump. He has also written various songs about the former president and openly criticised President Joe Biden. Schneider, famous for his role as Bo Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard had responded to one of Biden's tweets, saying the president should be "publicly hung" for treason, along with his son.
The Secret Service took notice of his tweet and reportedly launched an investigation into his comments.
