In a surprising move, model and video vixen Amber Rose publicly endorsed Donald Trump for a second term during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on July 15, 2024. This endorsement marks a stark departure from her previous criticisms of Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Speaking passionately at the convention, Rose emphasized her concerns as a single mother, stating her belief that Trump’s policies would ensure economic security and safety. “My whole world revolves around providing for my children, keeping them safe, and giving them an opportunity for a better life,” she asserted. “That’s something that unites all American parents, whether we’re Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, or liberals. We all want a better country for our children. I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump, President of the United States.”
Addressing accusations of racism against Trump, which she previously believed, Rose shared her journey of personal research and conversations that led her to change her views. “My entire family is racially diverse, and I believed the left-wing propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist. My father said, ‘No, he’s not, Amber. What are you talking about?’ And when I insisted, he said, ‘Prove it.’ So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked into all things Donald Trump,” Rose explained. “People have to do their research. I watched all the rallies, and I started meeting so many of his red-hat-wearing supporters. I realised Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, or straight, it’s all love.”
Rose’s endorsement has sparked varied reactions, with some applauding her for embracing right-wing principles while others criticize what they perceive as a shift from her previous views. The response on social media has been mixed, highlighting the divisive nature of her endorsement.
This unexpected political stance has garnered significant attention and sparked intense debate within both pop culture and political circles. As the 2024 presidential race progresses, Amber Rose’s support for Trump is likely to continue generating discussion and scrutiny.
