In the most recent Presidential election, people finally started realizing that voting for Trump was not the right way to go. What’s strange is that even after directly praising Putin for invading Ukraine, he still has millions of supporters, including many celebrities. But his past misdeeds have made some of the biggest names on Trump’s platform run like hell.
Let’s find out which celebrities jumped ship and why.
1. Tom Brady
The pride of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady, has a lot of history with Donald Trump. They’ve been supporting each other for years. First, there was the infamous deflate-gate, then they did some friendly golfing, and then Brady endorsed Trump’s candidacy. But things started to fall apart when Trump gave the quarterback flack for protesting against police during one of the games. After Tom’s team won the Super Bowl, they refused to visit the White House. Being a spoiled child, Donald didn’t even mention Brady’s name that day.
2. Caitlyn Jenner
Back in 2016, Caitlyn was a hardcore Trump admirer. She was hoping that maybe during his presidency, some of the most glaring LGBTQ+ issues would be resolved. Still, a few weeks after moving into the Oval Office, Trump “suddenly” repealed the promised protections granted to transgender students via Title IX. To add insult to injury, Trump then banned transgender people from joining the army, which ultimately crossed all the remaining t’s for Caitlyn. Imagine going back on your promises like that and then inviting the person you betrayed to play some golf. Too bad for Trump, Jenner’s loyalty was and still is with the LGBTQ+ community. Time to lose that MAGA hat, Caitlyn!
3. Kanye West
Speaking of MAGA hats, do you remember how proudly Kanye was rocking that cap in 2016? Well, the artist threw that piece of trash away in July 2020 when he decided he would be throwing his own hat (pardon the pun) into the presidential ring. Even though Kanye and Trump kept up their social appearances for years, the rapper went as far as deleting all his tweets endorsing the ex-president. The silver lining is that Kanye only managed to get around 60k votes before backing out completely on election night. The artist claims this was just a test run and that he’s destined to become President in 2024.
