Kim Kardashian Under Fire For ‘Disgusting’ Melania Trump Inauguration Post
Kim Kardashian is under fire after sharing a photo of Melania Trump from Donald Trump‘s Presidential Inauguration on Monday.
Trump, sworn in Monday as the 47th President of the United States, was joined by Melania and their son Barron.
The 44-year-old reality star posted an image of the new First Lady, dressed elegantly in a black suit and hat, on her Instagram story, igniting widespread reactions on social media.
Although Kardashian has not publicly endorsed any candidate in the 2024 Presidential election, which saw Donald Trump defeat Kamala Harris, her actions and associations have drawn speculation.
Notably, she has ties with prominent Trump supporter Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, and maintains a close relationship with Ivanka Trump.
One social media user reacted to her post, stating: “Kim Kardashian posted a photo of Melania Trump? Yeah, it’s clear who she voted for.”
Others chimed in, saying: “She’s been waiting to let that out!”
Further commenters branded her post ‘disgusting.’
Kardashian has previously visited the White House, including in 2018, to discuss prison commutations, aligning her with justice reform initiatives during Trump’s first term.
Fans and critics had varied responses to her post.
Some praised Melania’s fashion, commenting: “That was a great idea. Kim has good taste for class and beauty.”
Others were more critical, remarking: “Why are people shocked a billionaire supports the right? That’s textbook.”
Kanye West, Kardashian’s ex-husband, remains a vocal Trump supporter, having endorsed him again in 2024.
Despite Trump’s reelection, past tensions linger.
In November 2023, Trump used Truth Social to label Kardashian as ‘the world’s most overrated celebrity’ after reports surfaced about her efforts to rally sports stars for the White House, per Mail Online.
The report, from Jonathan Karl’s book Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party, claimed Trump offered to commute prison sentences in exchange for Kardashian using her celebrity influence to bring football stars to meet him.
Although she attempted, Karl noted the players declined due to Trump’s controversial reputation.
In response, Trump called Karl a ‘failed ABC Fake News reporter’ and denied the claims, stating Kardashian would be ‘the last person I’d ask to bring football players.’
He boasted about having hosted numerous sports teams during his presidency.
