As the 2024 presidential race heats up, opinions remain divided on who could emerge victorious. While many predict a win for Kamala Harris, others believe Donald Trump might secure a second term in the White House. Among Trump’s surprising celebrity endorsements is Amber Rose, who openly supported him at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee in July this year.
Rose also expressed her admiration for Trump during an interview on Lara Trump’s podcast, saying he gives her a sense of safety—a statement that sparked significant backlash online. In her statement, as reported by OK! Magazine, Rose said, “For me, Donald Trump is the epitome of an Alpha Male. He’s there to protect, to provide, make sure the citizens of the U.S. are in a good economy, protecting us.
I feel protected by Donald Trump. That’s why I wanted to come out and publicly endorse him. I just feel safe.” Her remarks, however, were met with criticism on social media. One user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, “I would say that Amber’s been brainwashed, but you have to have a brain to be brainwashed.” Another user questioned, “How safe would she feel if she were a 13-year-old girl?”
Others joined the chorus of criticism. A third individual wrote, “Would it matter if she knew the only reason she’s safe from Trump is because she’s not in a room with him alone?” Another user argued, “This woman is not listening to Trump or the policies he has and will put in place to suppress women and the working poor. And…Trump as an Alpha Male? An abusive, manipulative, narcissistic male? I almost feel sorry for her dependency and weakness.”
This is not the first time Rose has publicly supported Trump. During the RNC, she stated, “I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United States.” She acknowledged her lack of political experience but claimed she values the truth, suggesting that the media has misrepresented Trump.
As reported by The Independent, Rose further stated, “I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, white, gay, or straight. It’s all love. And that’s when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong.” She concluded her speech by saying, “The left told me to hate Trump and, even worse, to hate the other side — the people who support him. When you cut through the lies, you realize the truth: American families were better when Donald Trump was president. We were safer, wealthier, and stronger.”
In another interview, Rose explained her loyalty to Trump, asking, “Is Donald Trump not for women’s rights issues? He’s trying to make America great again that’s for women too, right?” She shared that she was once a critic of Trump, subscribing to left-wing portrayals of him as a racist. However, her perspective shifted after her father disclosed his support for Trump. Attending rallies and meeting Trump’s supporters further solidified her change of heart.
