Trump Targets Celebrities with Prosecution Calls over Alleged Endorsement Payments
In a series of late-night rants on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump has called for the prosecution of several high-profile celebrities, including Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump alleges that these figures engaged in illegal activities by accepting significant payments for endorsements during the 2024 campaign. He specifically accuses Harris of paying millions to celebrities, including Beyoncé, to boost her political support, claiming that this constitutes unlawful behavior. Trump has doubled down on these accusations, arguing that if the alleged payments are proven true, all involved should face legal consequences. Critics have characterized Trump’s remarks as a distraction from ongoing legal issues, with many emphasizing the bizarre nature of his claims about celebrity endorsements. This controversy has sparked significant public debate and reaction on social media.
