Despite the US election being long over and as president-elect Donald Trump’s second stint in the White House draws closer, more famous faces are publicly voicing their support for him – sometimes including financial support. He’s not the only major tech leader to do so, with other financial donations coming from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos through Amazon, and Meta, as tech company owners seek to ingratiate themselves with the incoming administration.
Mr Trump also has a close relationship with tech billionaire Elon Musk, even going so far as to name him as co-leader of the new Department of Government Efficiency, known as Doge. Other celebrities and household names have also publicly voiced their support for the next Potus.
Here’s a rundown of the stars that backed his bid to return to the White House. Dr Phil McGraw endorsed the Republican ticket while speaking at a Madison Square Garden campaign rally for Mr Mr Trump. At the rally on October 27, Dr McGraw said he was “not here just to stand up for Donald J Trump. Lord knows, he doesn’t need me to stand up for him. He’s tough as an old army boot. He’s got lots of enemies, different groups that are scared and, between them, they have impeached him, indicted him, raided him, railroaded him, shot him and sued him. And where is he? He is still standing.”.
He said voting for Mr Trump would be “a pretty good guess” and added: “I know what it'll be like if we let her in and that ain't good. Miserable track record, appalling track record. No policies to speak of. And she's got the IQ of a fence post.”.
