While Democrats like to believe Trump supporters are just a bunch of low-information, willfully ignorant Fox News sheeple, there are a number surprising names on Donald Trump’s fan list. Here is a list of the top twenty celebrities supporting the billionaire/TV star for the highest office in the land:
WARNING – View this list at your peril. You might lose respect from some of your favorite stars!
- Fran Drescher
- Stephen Baldwin
- Mike Ditka
- Tom Brady
- Charlie Sheen
- Owen Wilson
- Kid Rock
- Kurt Russell
- Gene Simmons
- Bruce Willis
- Mike Tyson
- Loretta Lynn
- Wayne Newton
- Gary Sinise
- Jon Voight
- Kirstie Alley
- Scott Baio
- Pete Rose
- Kelsey Grammer
- Clint Eastwood
As a rule, celebrities and Hollywood types tend to lean left. But every rule has expectations. I am not implying all the names listed above are far-right, card-carrying conservatives. The truth is Trump, on many issues, swings from left, to right… all the way to the bizzaro world. His philosophical makeup is hard to pin down because he has no core political principles. Perhaps that is why so many voters, including celebrities, love their Trump. Chaos, in a weird way, has a certain level of appeal.

Stephen says
Ick.
John DeProspo says
How could Fran Drescher (The Nanny) do this to me!
William Gaskill says
I’m surprised by Gary Sinise. How could Lt. Dan do that to us? And I thought Kelsey Grammar is smart, but when I saw he was spouting Republican nonsense this last year, it’s obvious he’s drunk the purple Kool-aid.
John DeProspo says
Yes, I was surprised by that also. I didn’t put the obvious names on the list: Gary Busey, Ted Nugent, etc.

numbers 3, 6, and 7 are very disappointing.
Ditkan was a part of the best Bears/NFL team in history, and my happiest sports year ever, but he’s a right wing lunatic.
Owen Wilson? V sad
Mark Cuban—that’s it for his Mavs and Shark Tank street cred. And he paid Wes Matthews (who I love) $17 million this year to lose in the first round. Fun story there. He and Maria Cantwell (D-WA, US Senate) each had loads of realplayer stock. Cuban sold at the top and it “made” him. Cantwell rode it all the way back to virtually 0.
the rest of the list is really no surprise (well neither is Ditka but I like to call him out)
John DeProspo says
Not sure if Cuban is still a Trump supporter. He seems to have changed his position.

I lost the same respect for moron celebs that supported Obama.
