Celebrities who support Donald Trump (32 person items)

"Simmons a former contestant on the Celebrity Apprentice said “I believe Donald Trump is a good man. … He’s in it to win it. … You can hate the guy, but you don’t think for a second that there’s a guy sitting there (typing) ‘Here’s what you say, Donald.’ He’s his own man.” He went on to say that although Trump has been “ungentlemanly” at times, he is “better and smarter” than the rest."
