Kim Kardashian made headlines earlier today for brushing aside talk of a feud with Taylor Swift. In an interview with Wonderland Magazine, Swift acted all sweet and innocent and coy and said she never threw any shade in Swift’s direction . It was a pretty absurd declaration, which is why it was the main focus of most celebrity gossip outlets after excepts of the interview went viral. But we admit that we were among the outlets that appears to have buried the lead in this story, because Kim said something even more absurd and noteworthy to the publication: She may vote for Donald Trump in November. For real. For President of the United States. In August of 2015, Kardashin and Kanye West attend a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at Scooter Braun’s home in Los Angeles. Kim snapped a selfie with the Democratic nominee at the time, Tweeted it to followers and wrote as a caption: “I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country! #HillaryForPresident.” Two months before to this meet, greet and promote, Kardashian was asked at a forum in San Francisco about Clinton possibly becoming the first female president of the United States, to which she replied: “I hope so!” But this is what Kim said to Wonderland for its latest cover story: “At first I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’m so Hillary,’ but I had a long political call with Caitlyn [Jenner] last night about why she’s voting Trump. “I’m on the fence.” Is Kim allowed to change her mind? Of course. Just because she was going to vote for Clinton before does not mean she can’t decide that Trump is actually the better candidate. We’re just curious: Which lie or which racist statement by Trump was the deciding factor here? As you might expect, the Internet has not reacted well to Kim’s pro-Trump stance. Or her semi-pro-Trump stance. Whatever you want to call it, the Internet has not reacted well to Kardashian giving any consideration whatsoever to Donald Trump as the most powerful man on the planet. And, as one astute user points out below, the truly troubling thing is this: Kim Kardashian actually does hold sway over millions of people. She gets them to buy her clothing. She gets them to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online . She can make or break an entire company with a Tweet. It’s depressing, but true. Fortunately, however, we’d have to imagine (pray?) that most people who can be influenced by Kim Kardashian are under 18 years of age. Would you lose respect for Kardashian is she voted for Trump? Would you lose respect for anyone if he or she voted for Trump? As you can see below, he does have his share of famous supporters out there. Does Kim want to join this company?
