Hollywood isn't exactly a Republican stronghold. That’s the understatement of the century, honestly. If you scroll through X or catch a glimpse of the late-night monologue circuit, it feels like every single person with a SAG card is lining up to dunk on the former—and now current—president.
But that's not the whole story. Not even close.
While the "blue wall" of celebrity influence is real, there’s a surprisingly deep roster of A-listers, athletes, and industry titans who have planted their flag in the MAGA camp. Some have been there since 2016. Others just joined the party during the wild 2024 cycle. We're talking about everyone from tech billionaires to country music royalty.
Curious about what celebs support Trump? You might want to grab a coffee, because the list is longer than the media usually lets on.
The Ride-or-Die Musicians
Country music has always been a friendly territory for Donald Trump. It's basically part of the brand at this point. Jason Aldean isn't just a casual fan; he’s a regular at Mar-a-Lago and was a literal guest in the Trump family box during the 2024 Republican National Convention. After the assassination attempt in Butler, PA, Aldean didn’t hold back. He posted that now-iconic photo of Trump with his fist in the air, calling him a "warrior."
Then you have Kid Rock. Is a Trump rally even a rally without "American Bad Ass" blaring through the speakers? He’s been a staple at the RNC and continues to be one of the most vocal defenders of the president’s policies.
But it's not just the Nashville crowd.
Snoop Dogg might be the most shocking name on this list for people who remember his 2017 music videos. Remember when he "shot" a clown version of Trump in a video? Yeah, things have changed. By 2024 and 2025, Snoop was singing a different tune, publicly stating he has "nothing but love and respect" for Trump. He even performed at the Crypto Ball during the 2025 inauguration weekend.

Hollywood’s "Silent" Minority
Speaking up for Trump in a Beverly Hills green room is a bold move. Most don't do it. But some big names have decided they don't care about the "blacklist" anymore.
Kelsey Grammer is the classic example. The Frasier star has never hidden his conservative leanings. When interviewers try to bait him into apologizing for his support, he usually just doubles down. Then there’s Dennis Quaid, who gave a rousing speech at a 2024 Coachella rally, telling the crowd that Trump is "doing it for the people."
Mel Gibson has been spotted several times signaling his support, and James Woods is basically the unofficial commander of the pro-Trump army on social media.
And don't forget Zachary Levi. The Shazam! star surprised a lot of people by endorsing Trump late in the 2024 race, citing his belief that Trump is the best choice to take down the "deep state." It’s a recurring theme among the Hollywood crowd: they see themselves as rebels against a corporate machine.
The Titans of Tech and Business
This is where the real power shift happened recently. For years, Silicon Valley was a progressive playground. Not anymore.
Elon Musk is the elephant in the room. He didn't just endorse Trump; he basically became a full-time campaign surrogate. Musk’s involvement through the America PAC and his constant presence on the trail changed the math for a lot of young, tech-focused voters.
He’s not alone in that world. You’ve got:
- Dana White: The UFC boss is perhaps Trump’s closest friend in the sports/business world. He’s the one who usually introduces him at the big conventions.
- Dave Portnoy: The Barstool Sports founder isn't a "MAGA" guy in the traditional sense, but he’s been clear that he prefers Trump’s economic approach over the alternatives.
- Bill Ackman: The hedge fund billionaire made a very public pivot to supporting Trump, citing concerns over campus antisemitism and the direction of the Democratic party.
- Miriam Adelson: The casino mogul and philanthropist remains one of the biggest financial backers of the movement.
Athletes and Icons
In the world of sports, the support is often loud. Hulk Hogan literally ripped his shirt off at the RNC to show his support. That’s about as "all-in" as it gets.

NFL legend Brett Favre hit the campaign trail in Wisconsin, and Danica Patrick—who had never even voted before 2024—came out swinging for Trump, citing her love for "freedom and common sense."
Even the legendary Buzz Aldrin gave his nod to 45. When a guy who walked on the moon tells you who he’s voting for, people tend to listen.
Why the Support is Growing
So, what’s the deal? Why are these celebs risking the "cancel culture" heat?
Honestly, it seems to be a mix of three things: taxes, the "anti-woke" movement, and a general feeling that the country is headed in the wrong direction. Many of these figures, like Dr. Phil McGraw, have stated they don't view Trump as the "bully" the media portrays him as. They see a businessman who speaks his mind.
For younger influencers like Amber Rose or Logan Paul, it’s more about a vibe shift. They see the MAGA movement as the new counter-culture. It's the "punk rock" move to go against the mainstream Hollywood narrative.
What Most People Get Wrong
The biggest misconception is that "nobody" in Hollywood supports Trump. They do. They just don't all talk about it on the Oscars stage. There’s a massive "silent" contingency of below-the-line workers—cameramen, editors, and stunt performers—who share these views but keep their mouths shut to keep their jobs.
But the A-listers mentioned above have reached a level of fame where they're "un-cancelable."
Actionable Insights: Following the Influence
If you’re trying to keep track of the political shift in entertainment, here’s how to stay informed:
- Look at the Rallies: The speakers at the rallies are often a better indicator of true support than a random tweet.
- Check FEC Filings: If you really want to know who supports who, look at the money. High-profile donors are public record.
- Watch the Podcasts: Shows like The Joe Rogan Experience or Theo Von’s podcast have become the new "late night" where celebs feel safe expressing these views.
- Follow the "Vibe Shift": Notice how many celebs have stopped criticizing Trump as harshly. Silence is often a precursor to a pivot.
The landscape is shifting. Whether it's the 2024 election hangover or the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, the list of Trump-supporting celebrities is likely to keep evolving. It's no longer just the "B-list." The heavy hitters are stepping into the ring.
To see the most current data on celebrity endorsements, you can monitor the FEC individual contribution database or follow the official press releases from the Trump-Vance transition and campaign teams, which often highlight high-profile surrogate appearances at upcoming events.
