A lot of celebrities supported Hilary Clinton during the recent US presidential campaign. Names like Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Sigourney Weaver and many more were seen publicly advocating for the Democrat candidate. Not so many stars endorsed Donald Trump, but now we know two major celebrities were on the elected president’s side: Paris Hilton and Kanye West.
The 35-year-old socialite-and-businesswomen has shared her political views in the wake of the America election result earlier last week. Whilst many celebrities have rallied for Clinton since the result, the blonde beauty has said she backed Trump, 70, because he’s a family friend to the Hiltons.
Speaking on Australian television show ‘The Project’, Paris said: \"My mother always told me not to talk about politics or money.
\"I’ve known him (Trump) since I was a little girl, so, yes [I voted for him].\"
And Paris did not rule out running for President herself. When asked about the possibility of running for office one day, she said: \"Sounds good. I like the ring to that. President Paris. I like that.\"
Kanye West on the other hand, did not vote any of the candidates, but he said at a show he \"would have voted for Trump\" if he had cast a vote on November 8.
He said on stage in San Jose: \"I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I were to vote, I would have voted for Trump.
\"I just said that I would have voted for Donald Trump and then I did a song and y’all sang it at the top of your lungs. That doesn’t mean that you’re a Trump supporter. That just means you OK with a celebrity having their own opinion. Or that someone else is OK to have their own opinion. That might not be your opinion but you can still like that person or still like that person’s music.\"
