Daniel Lawrence
The comedian Daniel Lawrence Whitney, better known as Larry, the Cable Guy, was a supporter of Presidential nominee Donald Trump in the 2016 election. In an interview, he told Rare Country, “I think he’s going to do a great job. I think it’s about time we ran this country like a business and not put people in positions of power who bought the position. Donald Trump is putting people… I mean he’s even considering people he doesn’t agree with because he feels he is best for the job. You need somebody like that.”
Jackie Robinson
Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play major league baseball. What might be surprising is that as an African American in 1960 he was a Republican and campaigned for presidential candidate Richard Nixon. He supported the Republican party because of the long tradition of blacks giving their support to the party of Lincoln. Robinson also challenged John F. Kennedy on his dithering of black equality. Kennedy listened and met with Robinson to address his concerns. It was partly because of Robinson that Kennedy delivered his landmark speech in 1963 that spoke of inequality.
Stephen Baldwin
Actor Stephen Baldwin is a fan of President Trump and supporter despite being fired twice on The Celebrity Apprentice. In an interview with Don Lemon, he said he nothing but love for the then-presidential candidate, “I think he’s fantastic. I love him. I think he’d make a great president. He’s not a politician, and he doesn’t care what anybody thinks. And that’s why he’s surging in the polls.” And, although he thought his brother Alec Baldwin had Trump’s voice down for the Saturday Night Live impersonations, he wasn’t supportive stating, “I don’t want to be a party pooper here, but I don’t think it’s very funny.”
