Trump’s Battle for Celebrity Validation

Wait 5 sec.

New York Times: “Seventeen months after he made that observation, Mr. Trump’s pop culture capital appears to be on the wane. And while many athletes and some stars (Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj among them) have been happy to associate with him in his second term, lots of others won’t let their brands near his. It’s been a problem for a president who can’t help but politicize and put his name on just about everything he touches.”“A trio of frustrated social media posts he made on Friday and Saturday showed how little power he has to force cultural figures to fall in line. Celebrities are harder to control than politicians. You can’t primary them.”
