Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman Republican presidential candidate, has a different sort of celebrity and also a different level of media savvy than his political opponents. That goes for the other Republicans he climbed over to get the nomination as well as the Democrats. Trump is a firebrand and has made his share of enemies as he made his name in business and later, in the entertainment realm. But he has no shortage of allies and supporters, even some you may not have known about.
“The Donald” may not have the type of notoriety that Hillary Clinton does, but that’s because he hasn’t been under felony investigation by the FBI, a status that carries its own type of ‘fame’.
Now we present for you this slideshow of some of the surprising entertainment celebrities who have spoken up in support of Trump. Some of them are particularly astonishing, coming from an industry not known for supporting Republicans!

Rocky and Hulk Hogan are not alone. Long-time Hollywood icon, Clint Eastwood is yet another example.

From his famous early films, such as “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” “Hang ’em High,” and “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” to his later successes as director and producer of movies such as “Gran Torino,” and “The 15:17 to Paris.” Eastwood also won a landslide victory when he was elected mayor of his home town of Carmel, CA, with a whopping 72% of the votes!
Known for his no-nonsense style and conservative attitudes, it’s no surprise Eastwood supports Donald Trump. “I’d have to go for Trump,” he told Esquire in an interview. He praised Trump for being forthright, saying, “What Trump is onto is he’s just saying what’s on his mind. And sometimes it’s not so good. And sometimes it’s… I mean I can understand where he’s coming from.”
Eastwood also pointed out what many other Trump supporters know: “Secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up. That’s the kiss-a** generation we’re in right now.”
Although the mainstream media likes to focus on the anti-Trump screeching of leftist celebrity darlings, Clint Eastwood isn’t the only entertainment star who publicly supports Trump. Here are 13 more outspoken celebrities who agree!

And of course, this list would really be incomplete without Chuck Norris. Plus, he might do a roundhouse-kick to this article if we failed to list him!

The legendary Chuck Norris has a well-earned reputation as a fearless, yet decent celebrity. After serving his country in the U.S. Air Force, Norris went on to gain fame as a martial artist, eventually founding a school to train others. His charisma and martial arts talent landed him film roles with Bruce Lee and a host of others. Later, he appeared on TV as “Walker, Texas Ranger,” and is also a spokesman for the NRA. Throughout his career, he’s had a rare reputation as a humble and moral person.
After the RNC, Norris declared his support for Donald Trump, stating in an article, “There is no doubt about it: A ‘no’ vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary. Any way you boil it down, that’s the end result. And every last person across America needs to sincerely reflect upon the fact if they want to vote for Hillary by merely staying home on Election Day. That is what she is hoping for.”
“I would like to encourage every Republican – whether establishment, moderate, liberal or conservative – to come together and unite for the good of our country. Actually, I would like to see independents and Reagan Democrats join us as well to help ‘Make America Great Again.’”
Norris is not the only celebrity to speak out in support of Trump. In an industry that seems to be full of unthinking Socialist sentiment, it’s good to know that Chuck and others stand with the President.

Love it!!!
The Democrats will be blown away in November when we, the people, cast our votes.
Don’t forget hottie Kurt Russell!
None of them surprised me..
These are two winners
Not really a surprise. People who work, save, and invest are supporting Trump. People who are, more or less, feeding off the trough are supporting Bernie and Hillary.
United? Really??
I heard a lot of booing on Monday. Lots of protest by Democrats, some were even on TV saying they plan to vote Republican for 1st time in their life.
United?

Trump Is Not Conservative, He’s A Pragmatist
By Mychal Massie on January 19, 2016 in Daily Rant, Race & Politics 5
We recently enjoyed a belated holiday dinner with friends at the home of other friends. The dinner conversation was jocund, ranging from discussions about antique glass and china to theology and politics. At one point reference was made to Donald Trump being a conservative to which I responded that Trump is not a conservative.
I said that I neither view nor do I believe Trump views himself as a conservative. I stated it was my opinion that Trump is a pragmatist. He sees a problem and understands it must be fixed. He doesn’t see the problem as liberal or conservative, he sees it only as a problem. That is a quality that should be admired and applauded, not condemned. But I get ahead of myself.
Viewing problems from a liberal perspective has resulted in the creation of more problems, more entitlement programs, more victims, more government, more political correctness, and more attacks on the working class in all economic strata.
Viewing things according to the so-called Republican conservative perspective has brought continued spending, globalism to the detriment of American interests and well being, denial of what the real problems are, weak, ineffective, milquetoast, leadership that amounts to Barney Fife Deputy Sheriff – appeasement oriented and afraid of its own shadow. In brief, it has brought liberal ideology with a pachyderm as a mascot juxtaposed to the$#%&!@*of the Democrat Party.
Immigration isn’t a Republican problem – it isn’t a liberal problem – it is a problem that threatens the very fabric and infrastructure of America. It demands a pragmatic approach not an approach that is intended to appease one group or another.
The impending collapse of the economy isn’t a liberal or conservative problem it is an American problem. That said, until it is viewed as a problem that demands a common sense approach to resolution, it will never be fixed because the Democrats and Republicans know only one way to fix things and the longevity of their impracticality has proven to have no lasting effect. Successful businessmen like Donald Trump find ways to make things work, they do not promise to accommodate.
Trump uniquely understands that China’s manipulation of currency is not a Republican problem or a Democrat problem. It is a problem that threatens our financial stability and he understands the proper balance needed to fix it. Here again successful businessmen like Trump who have weathered the changing tides of economic reality understand what is necessary to make business work and they, unlike both sides of the political aisle, know that if something doesn’t work you don’t continue trying to make it work hoping that at some point it will.
As a pragmatist Donald Trump hasn’t made wild pie-in-the-sky promises of a cell phone in every pocket, free college tuition, and a $15 hour minimum wage for working the drive-through a Carl’s Hamburgers.
I argue that America needs pragmatists because pragmatists see a problem and find ways to fix them. They do not see a problem and compound it by creating more problems.
You may not like Donald Trump but I suspect that the reason people do not like him is because: 1) he is antithetical to the “good old boy” method of brokering backroom deals that fatten the coffers of politicians; 2) they are unaccustomed to hearing a candidate speak who is unencumbered by the financial shackles of those who own them vis-a`-vis donations; 3) he is someone who is free of idiomatic political ideology; and 4) he is someone who understands that it takes more than hollow promises and political correctness to make America great again.
Listening to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talk about fixing America is like listening to two lunatics trying to “out crazy” one another. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio are owned lock, stock, and barrel by the bankers, corporations, and big dollar donors funding their campaigns. Bush can deny it but common sense tells anyone willing to face facts that people don’t give tens of millions without expecting something in return.
We have had Democrats and Republican ideologues and what has it brought us? Are we better off today or worst off? Has it happened overnight or has it been a steady decline brought on by both parties?
I submit that a pragmatist might be just what America needs right now. And as I said earlier, a pragmatist sees a problem and understands that the solution to fix same is not about a party, but a willingness and boldness to get it done.
People are quick to confuse and despise confidence as arrogance but that is common amongst those who have never accomplished anything in their lives and who have always played it safe not willing to risk failure.
