The celebrities voting for Donald Trump in US election
The general sentiment in Hollywood is mostly anti-Trump, but the US President still has a decent list of famous supporters in his corner.
Celebrities who support President Trump run the gamut, from Hollywood stars to musicians to Hall of Fame athletes.
The bold-faced names backing the Republican commander in chief in his bid to rebuff Democratic presidential foe Joe Biden include:
KID ROCK
The self-described “redneck’’ star rocker from Detroit has been a longtime vocal supporter of the President, campaigning for him, attending his debate against Biden in Nashville last month and posting a chummy Twitter photo of the pair on the golf course.

JON VOIGHT
The Oscar winner and star of such classic flicks as Midnight Cowboy and Coming Home posted video to Twitter in September urging voters to back Trump and “make this land great again”. In the religion-themed footage, Voight, the father of actress Angelina Jolie, added that God would say “our land is in danger with left liberal thinkers”.

KIRSTIE ALLEY
The former Cheers funnywoman has been a Trump booster for a while – and taken heat for it from fellow stars. But she has continued to give as good as she gets, attacking critics even on Election Day morning. “An open message to all you loving tolerant righteous enlightened kind cozy boo boo bears,” Alley tweeted. “You who have slung slurs AT US for four years such as Nazis morons Hitler’s rednecks Cheetos idiots cultists. YOU r why we voted for TRUMP. I pray we give U four more years of name calling.”

ROSEANNE BARR
The Emmy-winning comedy actress and former star of TV sitcom Roseanne has said she believes her show was cancelled because she supported Trump when he won the White House in 2016. “I voted for Donald Trump, and that is not allowed in Hollywood,” the star said in 2018. However the TV network ABC at the time said the reboot of her show was axed after Barr posted a racist tweet. “Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” ABC president Channing Dungey said in a statement at the time.
SCOTT BAIO
The Brooklyn native, aka Chachi on the classic TV sitcom Happy Days, has also long complained about the heat he’s taken for being a member of the GOP and backing Donald Trump, including over his speech at the 2016 Republican Convention. “I don’t give a sh*t about Hollywood liberals,” Baio said in a 2017 interview. “They’re gonna hate (Trump) no matter what. If he cured cancer, they’d be on him for putting oncologists out of business.”
LIL’ WAYNE
The hip-hop legend is among several rappers to support Trump, throwing his weight behind the President over the White House’s promise to funnel more economic resources into black communities. “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump@potus,” Lil Wayne tweeted Oct. 29. “Besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”
LIL PUMP
The 20-year-old Miami rapper and son of immigrant Colombian parents made his support for the President clear when he posted online photos of himself draped in Trump gear and jewellery on Monday.
Lil Pump joined Trump during a rally in Grand Rapids overnight but awkwardly, the president called him “Little Pimp”.
That didn’t stop the rapper from declaring his support.
“MAGA 2020, don’t forget that! And do not vote for Sleepy Joe AT ALL,” Lil Pump said.
STACEY DASH
The Clueless movie actress has made her political conservatism well-known in Hollywood – and her fourth husband, lawyer Jeffrey Marty, once posed as a fake congressman from Georgia to endorse Trump.
Dash tweeted on Monday, “ISIS disappeared when Obama disappeared,” suggesting Trump has made terrorists run for the hills.
JAMES WOODS
The longtime actor, who has portrayed politicians from Richard Nixon on the big screen to Rudy Giuliani on TV, constantly tweets his political views and support of Trump – also warning as recently as Tuesday that a Biden White House would be a victory for terrorists. “ISIS preparing for a comeback if Biden manages to steal the election…,” Woods wrote, above a link to a NY Post story about the terrorist attack in Vienna where a gunman killed four people and injured 22. The actor has lamented that he’s paid the price for his political activism, with his agent dropping him in 2018 because of it.
ISAIAH WASHINGTON
The former Grey’s Anatomy TV star has hailed Trump as a supporter of the black community and last week posted a photo of a ballot on Instagram with the President at the top. “You Want Freedom? You Want A Republic? You Want @realDonaldTrump for four More Year’s! (sic) #MAGA” Washington wrote next to the snapshot.
STEPHEN BALDWIN
While Alec Baldwin is well known for regularly mocking Trump when portraying him on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, his brother Stephen has stood firmly behind the President for years, despite it causing major rifts between him and family. Last month Stephen Baldwin posted online support for Trump, while his daughter Hailey (married to Justin Bieber) posted her support for Biden.
BRETT FAVRE
The former superstar Green Bay Packers quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer announced last week that he would be voting for Trump. “My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech and religion, 2nd Amnd (Second Amendment), hard working tax paying citizens, police and military,” Favre tweeted. “In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me and these principles, my Vote is for @RealDonaldTrump.”
HERSCHEL WALKER
The former Dallas Cowboys star and Heisman Trophy winner took heat for speaking at this year’s Republican National Convention – but he beat back critics who claimed Trump is a racist. “It hurt my soul to hear the terrible names that people call Donald,” said Walker, who is African-American. “I take that as a personal insult, that people would think I’ve had a 37-year friendship with a racist. Growing up in the Deep South, I’ve seen racism up close. I know what it is. And it isn’t Donald Trump.”
