Amber Rose has reaffirmed her support for Donald Trump, attributing what she sees as a media-driven effort to misrepresent the former president and his policies. This stance has sparked significant backlash from the LGBTQ community, with many condemning her for aligning with a politician perceived as hostile toward their rights.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Rose shared a video of Trump claiming he “doesn’t mind” gay marriage, using it to argue that Americans have a misguided perception of him. She urged her followers to “stop believing the propaganda” and “start having bigger conversations instead of staying on one side of the fence.” Rose also posted a photograph with Trump and his wife, Melania, on May 20, captioned “Trump 2024” with three American flag emojis, signaling her support for his potential run in the upcoming election.
The response from Rose’s followers was swift and intense. Critics lambasted her for supporting a politician known for his anti-LGBTQ stance, particularly regarding same-sex marriage and transgender rights. One commenter wrote, “Imagine being an advocate for women’s rights and endorsing Trump and his party who reversed Roe V Wade. Wild.” Another added, “You’re a Bisexual woman of color that runs a movement that stands up for Women’s rights and their power against anyone that abuses it…that’s literally OPPOSITE of what he supports.”
Rose addressed the criticism by asserting that the media manipulates public opinion against Trump. She wrote, “Lmaooo y’all think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do ur research. I did. I’ll ALWAYS put women first. Y’all want biological men in women’s sports [rolled-eyes emoji] Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion. Stop being brainwashed cuz WE’RE ppl of color. Make your own decisions.”
