Kim Kardashian, who always makes headlines, recently surged to the top of social media trends following a post about Donald Trump’s presidency.
On her Instagram Stories, she shared a photo of Melania Trump dressed in a black outfit with a hat that obscured most of her face. This post garnered significant attention, as Kardashian has historically remained apolitical, never publicly supporting any political figure. This move has led many to speculate about her political inclinations.
The post quickly stirred reactions across various platforms, including X, formerly known as Twitter. Many users expressed surprise and disappointment, with comments ranging from accusations of her being a Republican to criticisms of her seeking attention. Comments like “We have been known she is a Republican,” “Karma will get to her eventually,” and “Kim Kardashian being a Trumpie is not shocking but insanely disappointing and disgusting” were prevalent.
Kim Kardashian’s Connections with the Trump Family
Speculation about Kardashian’s relationship with the Trump family has increased due to her associations with Kanye West, Elon Musk, and Ivanka Trump. West, Kardashian’s ex-husband, was a vocal supporter of Trump during his presidency. Musk, the owner of X, maintains a friendship with Kardashian, and Ivanka Trump has been a long-term friend, potentially serving as a bridge to the Trump family.
Despite these connections, it’s essential to note the complex nature of Kardashian’s interactions with Trump. In November 2023, Trump described Kardashian as “the most overrated celebrity in the world.” However, Kardashian had previously engaged with Trump politically, advocating for the pardon of non-aggressive criminals following their 2018 meeting at the White House.
Journalist Karl reported that Trump proposed a deal pardon in exchange for Kardashian bringing celebrity footballers to the White House, an assertion Trump later denied on his platform, Truth Social, labelling Karl as a “fake news journalist” and dismissing the story as false.
This incident underscores the intricate and sometimes contentious aspects of Kardashian’s engagement in political discourse and her complicated ties with individuals like Trump. It illustrates the wider obstacles celebrities encounter when addressing political matters.
