After doing her research, meeting President Donald Trump’s supporters, and speaking to her veteran father, “I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re black, white, gay, or straight; it’s all love. And that’s when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong,” model, rapper, OnlyFans star, and author of How to be a Bad B**** Amber Rose said during her speech at the Republican National Convention last night.

Rose represents one archetypical Trump voter: the voter who was wrong and realized she was wrong about the former president only after he left office. American families were better off under Trump’s presidency, Rose said last night, and she’s since had a political awakening. The model is likable, funny, attractive, and has a cultural sway that Trump probably thinks will help him among young black voters. She’s not a typical RNC speaker. But this year, Rose became a staunch MAGA-ist, posting her support for Trump all over social media and criticizing Joe Biden’s presidency. Her loyalty has earned her a spot at Trump’s table and an RNC platform.
