Former President Donald Trump’s ongoing feud with the “Hollywood elite” has once again come to the forefront, this time with the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove him from the state’s 2024 ballot. The court cited his alleged incitement of the January 6 Capitol riots as grounds for disqualifying him from running for president due to the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause.
This ruling sparked outrage among Trump’s celebrity fans, with actors James Woods and Rob Schneider, MMA fighter Jake Shields, and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner criticizing the decision as a travesty of justice and election interference. They took to social media to express their disapproval of the court’s ruling, with some even calling for the judges to be removed from their positions.
On the other hand, some celebrities, like Bette Midler, praised the court’s decision, hailing Colorado as the first state to throw Trump off the ballot. The decision was made in light of Trump’s indictment for his alleged involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and inciting the Capitol riots, facing multiple felony charges as a result.
Despite these legal battles and his removal from the Colorado ballot, Trump continues to lead in the Republican presidential primaries, polling at 62 percent. The former president’s ongoing legal struggles and popularity among Republican voters highlight the divided opinions surrounding his political future.
