Trump has his own list of celebrity endorsers, which includes musicians Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, UFC CEO Dana White, media personality Caitlyn Jenner and actors Dennis Quaid and Jon Voight, as well as comedian Roseanne Barr.

In the end these endorsements matter little, though MAGA desperate for validation might feel good about these. Where are Kanye and Afroman?

She endorsed Biden in 2020 and is being openly courted by the campaign this time on social media, and even in a press release that saluted her latest album.

Swift's endorsement is the only one I could see motivating her considerable fan base.

Trump has a Logan Paul video now on TikTok and a podcast appearance.

Logan is worth all the irrelevant Hollywood dinosaurs and mid tier in the picture combined.

Plus we got Afroman and Waka and the UFC- that’s bonus cool points.

-13 ( +10 / -23 )

from what I'm seeing on the internet, there seems to be a very real concern that Biden may lose and this is primarily due to his policies on Gaza. At least that's what I'm hearing. I'm inclined to agree.

-4 ( +12 / -16 )

Not surprised most of these folks are on the Epstein list!

Are they? Does everyone know?

Sounds a bit hysterical. Are you sure the walls won’t close in on this claim?

Anyway, never mind Taylor Swift, is Chachi on board with Trump this time out?

Trump has a Logan Paul video now on TikTok and a podcast appearance.

Plus we got Afroman and Waka

An impressive list of nobodies.

and the UFC- that’s bonus cool points.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather not supportva candidate who is backed by people who are paid to be concussed. Somehow, I don't think they're very knowledgeable on politics.

0 ( +10 / -10 )

oh jimizo how many times did you claim the walls were closing in on Trump?

Never.

So you can’t back up your claim.

Not going to influence many like this. Oh wait! Everyone knows/nobody cares etc.

Not even approaching serious.

An impressive list of nobodies.

Logan Paul is a nobody?

that alone disqualifies you to comment any further.

no one under 50 can name the “stars” in that picture.

yoi couldn’t either if their names weren’t listed. ok, broke DeNiro, whipped George Clooney and a guy who used to play ball with Jordan. Who else?

-11 ( +7 / -18 )

I don't know which are more pathetic and toxic..

If all that list of clowns or the MAGA gang..

LOOOOOL

Logan Paul:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/wwe/article-13528397/Donald-Trump-Logan-Paul-mugshot-t-shirt.html

23.5 million followers. Nearly all under 30. Got a signed mugshot T-shirt, that’s gangster.

Ridiculous. Because you can’t do something doesn’t mean it isn’t easy for anybody else.

But your ‘team’ have Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. Real hip with the kids daddy-o.

3 ( +10 / -7 )

These so called Hollywood A-listers are simply there to entertain, not to politically weaponize the platform, a privilege, a generosity, to then be lectured like simpletons, all shouty shouty, be obliged to vote for either democrat or republican.

Ignore.

Logan Paul:

Since we are talking about the influence of celebrities.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42538495

Our Japanese hosts may not like Trump being chummy with a celebrity who is persona non grata in Japan and is a symbol of the disrespectful foreign tourist influencer influx.

Make up your own minds !!

Logan Paul is a nobody?

Oh wow, a Youtuber turned boxer supports Trump. That's amazing. reeee

23.5 million followers. Nearly all under 30. Got a signed mugshot T-shirt, that’s gangster.

No. Nothing about this sentence is "gangster." Cringe.

Biden is outpacing Trump in fundraising. Trump's raised funds are going into his pocket rather than his campaign.

4 ( +14 / -10 )

But your ‘team’ have Kid Rock and Ted Nugent.

you and everyone in the world seem to know by name and face all of our supposedly unknown “stars”,

even the C and D Level ones.

nobody knows even your supposed “A” listers outside of a few faded 90s names.

-11 ( +6 / -17 )

Oh wow, a Youtuber turned boxer

no that’s his brother. Who invited Trump to the Mike Tyson fight. one of the biggest sporting events of this year with many eyes on it.

mike is also a trump supporter.

Is he a nobody too?

Ted Nugent has sold 40 million albums and Kid Rock 26 million.

-12 ( +4 / -16 )

you and everyone in the world seem to know by name and face all of our supposedly unknown “stars”, 

I know more than you, ok yes that’s usually the case.

nobody knows even your supposed “A” listers outside of a few faded 90s names.

Ridiculous. Again, I know them and out of the photos above I’m quite sure many people know Spielberg, Obama, Douglas, Streisand, Taylor, Hammil, Kimmel.

I’m surprised you didn’t recognize them.

Biden is outpacing Trump in fundraising. 

was. Until Trump got 400 million in his short 2 weeks as a convicted felon.

we have tech billionaires too. David Sacks and Palmer Lucky and Shaun Maguire among several others.

All In podcast? Don’t know of that either?

But but Julia Roberts! Lololol

-9 ( +6 / -15 )

no that’s his brother. Who invited Trump to the Mike Tyson fight. one of the biggest sporting events of this year with many eyes on it.

Oh, so he's just a Youtuber and a pro-wrestler. Oh, wow that's so amazing. lmao I'm definitely still not voting for Trump now.

Is he a nobody too?

Oh wow, another meathead who gets paid to get punched in the head. What's it say about Trump when his strongest backing comes from heavily concussed boxers/wrestlers?

Ted Nugent has sold 40 million albums and Kid Rock 26 million.

lol Yeah, they were big maybe 20-40 years ago. Now? They're just washed up.

Yeah, sit this one out. reee

8 ( +11 / -3 )

Anyone that wants Biden to remain the head of the free world must have rocks in their head. Anyone that votes the way a celebrity tells them to as well. Dems are getting desperate, the only thing to worry about now is to what ends they will try and keep their grip on power.

The world patiently waits for November, with bated breath. Four more years for a guy that doesn’t know if there is a chair to sit down on and needs leading around like a lost invalid? Is this the part when life is imitating art?

Mark Hamil done lost the force! That collage of celebrities will backfire too, just sit back and enjoy the show, cause it’s a goodun.

-2 ( +6 / -8 )

Ted Nugent has sold 40 million albums and Kid Rock 26 million.

lol ‘faded 90’s stars’ (huh?)

Barbara Streisand has sold 150 million.

James Taylor 100 million.

Spielberg and Hamill made the most beloved movies ever made

Obama has been in the top 3 most followed on Twitter/X for over a decade.

Afroman, Waka and Dana White are small taters.

Money donated to Trump is going into his pocket not his campaign. The $400 million is unverified.

Logan Paul:

Speaking of Logan Paul, taken directly from his wikipedia page, with sources:

In February 2019, Paul said that he has long-term brain damage, which he sustained from playing high school football. He stated that Daniel Amen, the doctor who diagnosed him, says it affects his ability to have empathy and a human connection with others.[136][137]

There you have it folks, Trump is the candidate for fighters whose brain damage affects their ability to have empathy and form human connections with others. They're perfectly for eachother.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Paul#Health

8 ( +11 / -3 )

I agree with the overall premise of the article that celebrity status, records sold or box office sales don’t equate to votes.

People are smart enough to make up their own minds, celebrity endorsement or not. Well, not Nugent fans obviously. That’s sadly Alex Jones territory these days.

6 ( +9 / -3 )

I thought I recognized that jug eared guy I sadly voted for twice.

he’s a “Hollywood A lister” now? Wouldn’t have expected that.

Didn’t think they would be disingenuous enough to sneak him in there with “A lister”…Mark Hamill?

Does it not bother you at all that Donald Trump thinks Hannibal Lecter is a real person.

4 ( +11 / -7 )

Didn’t think they would be disingenuous enough to sneak him in there with “A lister”…Mark Hamill?

He's certainly more of an "A lister" than a Youtuber with literal brain damage.

8 ( +12 / -4 )

Logan Paul is a huge get for Trump.

one of the most popular media influencers, entrepreneurs and high profile “athlete” (wrestling) of current times.

Tens of millions of impressionable young followers and a huge social presence. Only one bigger is Joe Rogan who is also leaning Trump.

Surprised you didn’t know of him at all and have to read Wikipedia to cherry pick some nonsense.

what happened to all the Biden heavy hitters from last time? Seems they sitting it out, why?

Biden had to bring washed up Star Wars guy to the White House the other day, he’s struggling so bad for “name” support.

-7 ( +7 / -14 )

Logan Paul is a huge get for Trump.

Yes, I'm sure it'll lock support for Trump with the brain damaged.

Tens of millions of impressionable young followers and a huge social presence

lol Pretty pathetic how easily impressed social media numbers righists are.

Biden had to bring washed up Star Wars guy to the White House the other day, he’s struggling so bad for “name” support.

lol Riiiggghhttt the people in Hollywood backing Biden are washed up. Kid Rock and Ted Nugent aren't. Come on, not even you buy this silliness.

6 ( +10 / -4 )

So, a bunch of people who remember lines for a living are supporting someone who can't remember his.

-6 ( +6 / -12 )

Ridiculous. Because you can’t do something doesn’t mean it isn’t easy for anybody else.

How many in that collage is a current A-lister selling out movie theaters and arenas?

Tens of millions of impressionable young followers and a huge social presence. Only one bigger is Joe Rogan who is also leaning Trump.

So you think numbers of ‘followers’ and social presence influences votes. Ok. Then look again at the photos at the top of the page.

Joe Rogan and Logan Paul can’t compete with an Obama tweet. Rogan mistakenly and very embarrassingly attributed the revolutionary war airport quote to Biden. He’s not leaning he’s tripping.

3 ( +7 / -4 )

I wonder if the effect of celebrity endorsements is not greatly exagerated. At least I hope people think for themselves rather than vote for whoever their favorite celebrity votes for.

5 ( +6 / -1 )

Joe Rogan and Logan Paul can’t compete with an Obama tweet.

maybe with hardcore leftists who already voting Biden.

regular Americans? Rogan and Paul, all day everyday.

-10 ( +3 / -13 )

How many in that collage is a current A-lister selling out movie theaters and arenas?

Does it matter to you that much? How many ‘A-listers’ does 45 have? If ratings matter as they seem to for you then ok. That collage has a lot more fans than anyone on your team. It’s not even close.

Again, the ‘washed up celebs’ vs Ted Nugent or Kid Rock argument is a dead end.

2 ( +6 / -4 )

regular Americans? Rogan and Paul, all day everyday.

Sure ok. But like I said, they are small taters.

Rogan based his dismissal of Biden on the revolutionary war airport line.

”Pull him!” Rogan said. “If you had any other job, and you were talking like that, they would go, ‘Hey, you’re done.’”

Do you agree?

3 ( +7 / -4 )

Our Japanese hosts may not like Trump being chummy with a celebrity who is persona non grata in Japan and is a symbol of the disrespectful foreign tourist influencer influx.

They will get over it, better than the current alternative.

Does it matter to you that much? How many ‘A-listers’ does 45 have?

He doesn't need to, the average American could care less what the rich lib snob elites say or think.

If ratings matter as they seem to for you then ok. That collage has a lot more fans than anyone on your team. It’s not even close.

Ok, and? Even with Hollywood's help, his numbers continue to fall.

Again, the ‘washed up celebs’ vs Ted Nugent or Kid Rock argument is a dead end.

Dunno, both men are still relevant and doing other things besides singing and rocking out, at this point, they have nothing to prove.

LMAO this dude thinks Logan Paul is somebody important? The same guy who was in hot water over NFT scams and the same guy who dances around like he is a pro boxer in rigged fights. A lot of us look forward to seeing him get KO'd by Mike Tyson. It's the same feeling as watching someone loud and annoying get put in their place but I assure you he is somewhat famous for all the wrong reasons

So why does 45 spend as much time tweeting about them as he does on ‘real issues’?

It’s Kimmel’s job to make fun of him, is it 45’s job to post obsessively about whichever celebrity got under his paper thin skin today?

Because he can, and he does talk about the issues, the Dems are talking about Convict, we will force you to give money to Ukraine, abortion and that's about it.

Yes and considering that it’s in NYC and liberal stronghold epicenter, he technically shouldn’t even be getting 1/3 but this is the result when you just tell funny jokes about life instead of making it your mission to just verbally go after an individual nightly in order to be funny, if that’s the extent of your comedy prowess, then you really suck.
