When you hear about the latest celebrity endorsing a candidate, it’s typically no surprise that they lean left. Hollywood’s elite has long aligned with the Democrats, bolstering candidates like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris with their star power. But every once in a while, someone breaks from the pack and catches the public’s attention. In this case, it’s Joe Germanotta—father of pop icon Lady Gaga—who’s making headlines for endorsing Donald Trump for president.
Unlike many in his social circle on the Upper West Side of New York City, Germanotta isn’t shy about his political leanings. He has openly praised Trump’s policies, specifically in areas like the economy, immigration, and law enforcement. And while Lady Gaga has stayed noticeably quiet on the 2024 election, her father’s public endorsement of Trump hasn’t seemed to cause any visible tension between them.
A Stark Contrast: Trump vs. Harris
Joe Germanotta’s reasoning for supporting Trump is clear. He’s a businessman, and his focus is on what works. In an appearance on Fox & Friends, Germanotta didn’t hold back in praising Trump for delivering the kinds of policies that resonate with him.
“Look, they are two vastly different people,” Germanotta said, contrasting Trump with Kamala Harris. “One is pure, you know, and he’s a patriot, right? The other just says whatever she needs to say to get elected.”
That’s the sentiment many of us have echoed for years. While Harris has been busy making promises that seem more geared toward securing votes than actually improving the country, Trump has been consistent in his commitment to law and order, supporting the police, and putting America first.
And it’s no wonder Joe feels this way. As a restaurateur, he knows firsthand the devastating impact of poor leadership on small businesses. During Trump’s administration, Joe Germanotta’s restaurant, Joanne Trattoria, was thriving. According to Joe, they were set to have their best year ever in 2019 before the pandemic hit, with revenues up 25 percent. That’s not small potatoes for a local restaurant in one of the most expensive cities in the world.
The Economy: Trump Policies Delivered Results
Germanotta’s main reason for backing Trump? It’s simple—results. He’s a businessman who cares about the bottom line, and Trump’s policies worked for him.
“I’m into low fuel and food prices, low interest rates, good economy, pro-police,” Germanotta explained during his interview. “Let the police do their job. Don’t let the protesters burn down our cities and the small businesses. Keep the jobs here in the United States.”
And Germanotta isn’t alone in thinking this way. Many small business owners across the country felt the same way during Trump’s time in office. Under Trump, we saw record-low unemployment, economic growth, and a real focus on keeping jobs here in the United States.
But when you look at Harris and what she’s offered so far—well, it’s not hard to see why people like Germanotta aren’t sold. Harris’s economic ideas, from higher taxes to a push for social programs, feel like a recipe for disaster. These policies would only serve to stifle economic growth and discourage investment, something America desperately needs right now.
The Immigration Crisis: “It’s an Invasion”
Germanotta didn’t just stop at the economy. He also made it clear that immigration is a key issue for him. As someone who has seen the effects of unchecked illegal immigration on local businesses and communities, Joe was upfront about his concerns.
“We don’t have secure borders anymore. No more legal immigration,” Germanotta lamented during his interview. “It’s been an invasion, as far as I see it.”
That’s not hyperbole. That’s the reality many Americans face every day, particularly those who live and work near the southern border. But instead of addressing these concerns, Harris and her allies continue to ignore the problem or, worse, push policies that would only make it easier for illegal immigrants to flood into the country.
Meanwhile, Trump’s tough stance on immigration worked. His administration made great strides in securing the border and cracking down on illegal immigration. That’s why Germanotta—and many Americans—are eager to see Trump back in the White House, where he can finish what he started.
Lady Gaga’s Silence: Playing It Smart or Playing It Safe?
Now, what about Lady Gaga? She’s one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, and she has a massive platform. But so far, she hasn’t publicly endorsed anyone for the 2024 election. Some might say that’s surprising given her history of performing at Joe Biden’s inauguration, but maybe it’s a smart move.
As part of Hollywood’s elite, Lady Gaga likely faces immense pressure to back the left’s preferred candidates. In an industry where being vocal about conservative views can lead to public backlash and even blacklisting, it’s not hard to see why she’s keeping her cards close to the chest.
It must be difficult, though, when your father is not just a Trump supporter but someone who is vocal about it on national television. But credit to both Joe and Lady Gaga—there haven’t been any public spats or drama between them because of their differing political views.
That’s something we could all learn from. In today’s polarized climate, it’s refreshing to see a family that can have different opinions without tearing each other apart. Joe Germanotta is unapologetic in his support for Trump, and Lady Gaga continues to focus on her music and career.
A Stark Choice for 2024
As the 2024 election heats up, the stakes couldn’t be higher. On one side, you have Donald Trump—a man with a proven track record of boosting the economy, securing the border, and standing up for American values. On the other side, you have Kamala Harris, who has offered little more than empty promises and a political platform that seems more focused on pleasing the progressive left than actually helping everyday Americans.
Joe Germanotta made it clear that his choice is Trump. And while some in his social circle may find that surprising, it’s not hard to understand why.
Trump’s policies delivered results—plain and simple. Whether it’s the economy, immigration, or law and order, Trump has shown that he’s willing to make the tough decisions to put America first. And that’s something we desperately need as we head into 2024.
Final Thoughts
Joe Germanotta may not be a Hollywood star like his daughter, but he’s a man who knows what works. His endorsement of Donald Trump isn’t about personality—it’s about policies. Policies that make sense for business owners, working families, and everyday Americans.
And while Lady Gaga may not have thrown her support behind anyone yet, it’s clear that there’s room for political differences even within the same family. That’s something worth celebrating in today’s divided world.
