Kim Kardashian, 44, is making headlines again. This time, it’s not for her beauty empire or reality TV drama. Instead, she’s diving into politics—at least on Instagram.
On Monday, Kardashian shared a photo of Melania Trump from Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration. The post showed Melania in a sleek black suit and matching hat. Fans immediately erupted on social media, sparking debates about Kim’s political stance.
Social media goes wild
Kim’s followers wasted no time reacting. Many assumed the post revealed her true allegiance. One fan wrote:
“Kim Kardashian posted a photo of Melania Trump? Yeah, it’s clear who she voted for.”
“She’s been waiting to let that out!”
“Here come all the closet MAGA celebrities now that it’s safe.”
“Why are people surprised? She’s a billionaire. Of course, she’s supporting the right.”
However, some defended Kim. Supporters commented:
“That was a great idea. Kim has a good taste for class and beauty.”
“Congrats on coming out of the closet, but we knew.”
“Love them both!”
Kim’s connections to Trump
Although Kardashian has never openly endorsed Donald Trump, her ties to him are undeniable. In 2018, she visited the White House to advocate for prison reform. Trump granted clemency to several non-violent offenders after Kim’s meeting.
Fast forward to the 2024 election. Kim stayed silent about who she voted for. But she’s known to have close ties to Trump supporter Elon Musk, who now heads the Department of Government Efficiency. She’s also friends with Ivanka Trump.
Adding fuel to the fire, Kim’s ex-husband Kanye West remains one of Trump’s most vocal celebrity supporters.
A complicated political history
In 2020, Kim hinted at supporting Joe Biden. She posted a photo of Biden and Kamala Harris with blue heart emojis after their win. However, her recent post of Melania Trump suggests she may have shifted her stance.
Donald Trump himself has taken jabs at Kim. In November 2023, he called her “the world’s most overrated celebrity.”This was after a claim surfaced that Trump asked Kim to bring football stars to the White House in exchange for more prisoner commutations. Kim tried to fulfill Trump’s request but failed. Football players reportedly wanted nothing to do with Trump during the final weeks of his presidency.
Trump fires back
Trump denied the story on his social media platform, Truth Social. He slammed Karl as a “Failed ABC Fake News reporter” and called the claim “fake news.” Trump wrote, “Kim Kardashian would be the last person I’d ask to bring football players to the White House.”
Despite the drama, one thing is clear: Kim Kardashian knows how to keep the world talking. Whether it’s her fashion, her family, or now her political moves, she’s always in the spotlight.
