Amber Rose explained how she felt that Donald Trump best represented the good of America despite his checkered past and the most recent felony conviction lodged against him. She said the guilty verdict in the hush money case involving Stormy Daniels was an “injustice” and would only galvanize his support. Rose had said Trump’s legal troubles may end up making himself more relatable to the public and, ultimately, paint him as a political victim over a criminal.
The reporter started, “Many people were shocked by your endorsement of Donald Trump. I mean, you’re all about women’s rights issues. So what was the reason for this big change?”
Rose replied defiantly, yet calmly: “Isn’t Donald Trump not for issues regarding women’s rights?”.
Somewhat taken aback by this, the reporter pushed him again. “I guess many people were asking.”
‘He’s trying to “Make America Great Again.” That’s for women, too, right?’ Rose shot back, her conviction clear.
Yet when the conversation finally veered toward Trump’s questionable past and legal troubles, Rose hedged not an inch. Hadn’t all that—it was put to her—altered her sense of Trump?
“No, not at all,” Rose replied forcefully.
The reporter continued, “[D]o you think you’ll help his chances like getting reelected, or you’ll hurt him?”
Rose replied promptly and firmly, “Oh, I think it helps him more. I think people see the injustice of it all and what happened and want to vote for him more now than ever.
Rose’s revelations, though very political, are championed as her ways of connecting with her fans. She likes to be portrayed as honest and raw, which gives her something in common with her fans. Such strong political statements only furthers the audience’s engagement when they can match her wits and encourage them to think for themselves.
Rose’s statements have elicited mixed reactions from members of the public: some praise her for being bold enough to deliver her mind, and others take her for a fool for supporting such a controversial character like Trump. The same statements have been argued back and forth for long hours on social media, and responses are made for their effectiveness and ineffectiveness.
The endorsement of Donald Trump by Amber Rose brings to the limelight the increasing political division in America. With general elections scheduled for 2024, words drive home the point of people engaging voters and calling for open and candid conversations on what ails this country. Significant issues in the general election that are set to happen will be the economy, healthcare, immigration, climate change, social issues, and foreign policy.
Therefore, the positions of each candidate regarding these concerns would provide the derivation of the debates and eventually manage the problems of the voting electorate.
Rose’s comments underline the importance of these conversations and the varied perspectives that exist in the public. Amber Rose was not the first celebrity to express her political point of view, and most likely will not be the last.
This is the sphere public figures find themselves in. They can hugely influence public opinion at will and are often criticized for their standpoints in ways unheard of before. Kanye West supports Trump. Taylor Swift endorses Democratic candidates. Oprah Winfrey speaks like a highly inspirational speaker about justice. Celebrities, in a way, run politics. This day and age gives social media new dimensions of political discourse in the digital world, amplifying many voices, setting up echo chambers, spreading much misinformation, and possibly polarizing opinions.
Amber Rose‘s comment has gone viral across every social media platform, raising the importance of these media on political conversations. Amber Rose supporting Donald Trump merely adds to the cloudy tapestry that is the 2024 presidential election. Her comments, saying that people no longer are “brainwashed” by the left, do genuinely throw a wrench at her fans, maybe even making them question their choices. It will be exciting this election cycle to see how her endorsement plays out how it goes toward shifting perception, and what happens. Amber Rose says it as it is, like her or not.
