35 celebrities who support Trump

Bruce Willis

Jessica Simpson

Sylvester Stalone

Fran Drescher
The actress best known for her title role on the television show The Nanny, Fran has said, “I think he (Trump) is very funny, and I think he is actually saying a lot of things that other people don’t really have the guts to say and for that reason I applaud him.”


Gary Busey
Busey and Trump worked together on Celebrity Apprentice when Busey was a contestant. Busey has stated that he believes Trump can change the country.

Disclaimer: Busey incurred a severe head injury during a motorcycle accident. In 2008, on an episode of Celebrity Rehab, Busey’s psychiatrist stated he believes the effects were far greater than originally thought and causing Busey to speak and act impulsively. Coincidence?


Loretta Lynn
This 83 year old Coal Miner’s Daughter who has notoriously been touting the Republican line for years, has sided with Donald Trump, saying, “Trump has sold me – what more can I say? … When you’re advertising for the best, forget the rest! I just think he’s the only one who’s going to turn this country around.”

I highly doubt Fran Drescher is an actual supporter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran_Drescher From Wikipedia:

"A uterine cancer survivor, Drescher is an outspoken healthcare advocate and LGBT rights activist, and is noted for her work as a Public Diplomacy Envoy for Women's Health Issues for the U.S. State Department."

"In September 2008, Drescher, a Democrat, was appointed as a U.S. diplomat by George W. Bush Administration's Assistant Secretary of State Goli Ameri. Her official title is Public Diplomacy Envoy for Women's Health Issues. In traveling throughout the world, she will support U.S. public diplomacy efforts, including working with health organizations and women's groups to raise awareness of women's health issues, cancer awareness and detection, and patient empowerment and advocacy. Her first trip was in late September and included stops in Romania, Hungary, Serbia, and Poland.

In 2008, Drescher supported Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic Party presidential nomination. She attended a Super Democrat rally for Clinton. Drescher said that she had been considering a run for the United States Senate in 2008 to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton, but ultimately decided against it. She endorsed Barack Obama for re-election in 2012.

In 2016, Drescher supports no candidate for president and justifies this by placing the cause of social problems on capitalism and politics based in working only through law."
