Beyonce? Springsteen? Trump Fans Feel Both Anger and A-List Envy
Briefly

"Trump's rivalry with celebrity figures like Beyonce illustrates his strategy of capitalizing on celebrity hatred to galvanize his supporters against what they perceive as elite forces. His crowd's booing response to a mention of Kamala Harris enjoying a dance party with Beyonce shows how he manipulates this sentiment to unify his base, painting stars as part of a larger elite threat that they believe they must fight against."
"The frenzy of famous personalities endorsing Kamala Harris serves to deepen the division, showcasing a clear contrast between the Trump supporters who find solace in disparaging elites and the Democrats who motivate their base through celebrity reverence. Each side inadvertently reinforces the other’s narrative, with Trump’s supporters viewing celebrity endorsements as elitist machinations meant to alienate them further."
