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.”
Simon Cowell
It’s difficult to be a conservative in a liberal industry as Simon Cowell has found out. He and fellow X-factor judge Cheryl Cole went so far as to not speak to each other for a year after a particularly heated political debate. Simon Cowell’s political views are conservative, and some say the reason may be purely for selfish reasons. When the Conservative Party in Britain announced they were planning to give a tax break to the wealthy Cowell became a supporter, stating, “I’m proud of being British and don’t have a problem paying taxes. If you want some of the big entrepreneurs to stay in the country, then you have to lower the tax rate a bit. Otherwise,
you will find them going out of the U.K. and working elsewhere.”
Bobby Knight
The former Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 election saying, “There has never been a more honest politician than Donald Trump,” and he “is the most prepared man in history to step in as president.” However, some say that Knight likes him because he is just like Trump in his abusive, misogynistic, and insensitive ways. Matt Viser from The Globe said, “If Donald Trump coached basketball, he’d be Bobby Knight. And if Bobby Knight ran for president, he’d be Donald Trump.”
