Model and TV personality Amber Rose has ignited a firestorm of reactions following her public endorsement of former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election. Rose, known for her activism and high-profile relationship with rapper Wiz Khalifa, took to Instagram to express her support for Trump, urging her 24 million followers to reconsider their allegiance to the Democratic Party.
Rose posted a photograph of herself with Trump and former First Lady Melania Trump at a black-tie event, captioning it "Trump 2024 USUS." She criticized President Joe Biden's commitment to the Black community, stating, "Lmaooo yall think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do ur research. I did".

The endorsement has led to significant backlash, particularly from Rose's liberal followers. Many criticized her for seemingly contradicting her previously outspoken stances on women’s rights and LGBTQ+ issues. One follower commented, “He’s against everything I thought YOU believed in?! LGBTQA Women’s rights! The lists go on super disappointing”.
Rose responded by asserting her belief in Trump's approach to these issues, arguing that Trump supports reasonable compromises on contentious topics like abortion and transgender athletes in women's sports.

In a subsequent encounter with a TMZ reporter, Rose defended her decision, stating that she and others are "no longer brainwashed" by the left. She emphasized her disillusionment with the Democratic Party and her belief that Trump’s policies are better for America, including for women and minorities.
Rose’s endorsement comes at a critical time for Trump, who has been actively campaigning to regain the White House. At a recent community roundtable in Detroit, Trump highlighted his administration’s achievements for Black Americans, citing historically low unemployment and poverty rates during his term. He contrasted these successes with Biden’s presidency, accusing Biden of being "all talk" and failing to deliver tangible results for the Black community.
The model's outspoken support for Trump is part of a broader trend where some celebrities are publicly switching their political allegiances, dissatisfied with the current administration. Rose’s bold stance, despite the potential for professional and personal backlash, underscores a growing sentiment among some Americans who feel neglected by the Democratic Party’s policies.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, endorsements from high-profile figures like Amber Rose could play a pivotal role in shaping public opinion and influencing the upcoming election. Rose’s declaration that she and others are waking up to the realities of political brainwashing marks a significant moment in the intersection of celebrity influence and political activism.
