Trump’s shocking accusations exposed.
Donald Trump just fired off a Truth Social post about celebrity endorsements that’s rattling the internet — and the names he’s dragging are nothing short of bombshell.
History of celebrity endorsements highlighted.
For decades, politicians have leaned on celebrity backing — from Sinatra for JFK to Springsteen for Obama.
Federal law bans unreported or quid-pro-quo financial incentives tied to public political support.
Kamala Harris leaned heavily on cultural icons during the campaign, especially in battleground states.
Trump previously asked what Harris “paid” Bono and Bruce Springsteen, lumping them into the same narrative.
According to The New York Times, the Harris campaign broke records with enormous fundraising totals.
In addition to direct donations, Harris benefited from huge outside support — nearly double what Trump pulled.
Trump’s own campaign raised $464 million, with about $989 million from external PACs and donors.
Trump’s fiery post revealed.
The Saturday post began by slamming former Vice President Kamala Harris, then quickly named her alleged celebrity co-conspirators.
Trump claimed the Harris campaign made illegal payments to celebrities, and insisted that “they should all be prosecuted.”
“These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records,” Trump wrote, citing campaign finance law violations.
“YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO,” Trump added, raising the stakes.
The Truth Social post dropped while Trump was overseas on a four-day tour of the United Kingdom.
Some political watchers believe the post was a deliberate diversion from Trump’s own legal troubles.
He’s under scrutiny for PAC misuse, super PAC coordination, and questionable donation channels.
At the time of writing, Harris has remained publicly silent on the latest round of accusations.
The alleged payouts explained.
According to Trump, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Rev. Al Sharpton all received large payments in return for Harris endorsements.
He said Beyoncé was given $11 million “for an endorsement,” while Oprah supposedly took $3 million.
Trump called Sharpton “a total lightweight” and accused him of pocketing $600,000.
“She never sang, not one note,” Trump posted about Beyoncé. “She was actually booed off stage.”
“They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump concluded.
Timeline of events traced.
Harris held a rally in Houston where Beyoncé briefly appeared onstage — no performance, just presence.
Around the same time, Oprah hosted a virtual town hall in Michigan that was widely livestreamed.
Rev. Sharpton’s National Action Network received funds reportedly tied to get-out-the-vote efforts, especially in Black communities.
According to Deadline, public filings listed $165K to Beyoncé’s company, $1M to Oprah’s, and $500K to Sharpton’s group.
Trump’s claims of $11 million and $3 million aren’t supported by publicly available documentation.
The funds were labeled as payments for production, livestreaming, and travel — not endorsements.
So far, there is no legal proof anyone was paid directly to endorse Kamala Harris.
Winfrey told reporters she was never paid for her support — only for livestream production expenses.
The celebrity endorsement debate persists.
Trump’s explosive accusations have reignited debate over the blurry lines between campaign events and celebrity endorsements.
Whether the payments were illegal or just politically inconvenient remains to be seen — but the noise isn’t dying down anytime soon.
And with Harris staying quiet and Trump doubling down, this celebrity-political drama is far from its final act.
