Hollywood stars ‘feel safe’ supporting Trump

After years of silence, some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are publicly sharing their support for Trump and now we know why.

Kid Rock has claimed that Hollywood stars are feeling “safe” revealing their support for Donald Trump after years of having to hide their political beliefs. 

Ahead of his performance at a MAGA victory rally on Sunday, the singer stopped by “Fox & Friends Weekend” to speak about the palpable shift in energy he’s felt in the nation’s capital and Hollywood. 

It feels like the rebirth of our nation,” the musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, told hosts Lawrence Jones, Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade.

“Felt like that at the UFC fight after the election, everybody was together, you know, walking to the ring,” he said of the championship fight that featured Trump supporters like Elon Musk and Dana White, as well as the rocker, to New York City.

“There’s just this overwhelming sense … you’ve heard it a million times, that America’s back,” the “Born Free” singer explained. 

Kid Rock also spoke about how, since Trump had secured the Oval Office in November, Hollywood has seemed to embrace him as the nation’s leader, less reluctant to voice their support.

“Now they feel it’s safe to go in the water after dipping their toe in it for four to eight years,” he joked. “I mean, welcome to the party, like I’ve said. Better to have them on board than not,” he added. 

Carrie Underwood, known to be removed from the political scene, stunned some when it was announced last week that she’d be performing “America The Beautiful” at Trump’s inauguration: “I love our country and am honoured to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” the country superstar said in a statement.

Jason Aldean, a longtime Trump supporter, was also tapped to play at the Liberty Ball, as well as rapper Nelly.

Actors Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight were made “special ambassadors” to the “great, but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” by Trump last week, all of whom have had either favourable things to say publicly about Trump or have been supporters. Voight was also in attendance at Sunday’s rally.

“There’s a whole change in the air, there’s a whole shift in everything,” Kid Rock continued.

“[People] saw what he did the first time. And when you really look at the facts and the numbers and how great it was, and it’s only going to be better from there. The feeling’s everywhere,” he said. “Especially if you’re on our side – it’s through the roof. But I think people, all reasonable people, I feel, you know, are understanding, just if we would have got a reasonable Democrat.”

“Like, it’s OK … we think differently on a lot of things, but if you’re a reasonable person, and I really got to stress ‘reasonable,’ because Lord knows there are some fruitcakes out there.”
