Jake Paul threw his support behind Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. Presidential election in a passionate video posted Oct. 31.
Paul acknowledged that he couldn’t actually vote himself, after rescinding his right to do so when he moved to Puerto Rico. He noted that his inability to vote “doesn’t mean I can’t present my 80 million-large audience with proper facts, numbers and data to encourage them to vote in the proper direction to quite literally save America,” he said.
Paul went on to quote stats that read strongly in Trump’s favor, and he knocked Harris’ celebrity endorsements.
Paul began by noting he was prepared for the backlash after sharing his political views.
“Uh nervous, scared to make this video because of what it means in terms of my career, my life, people coming after me — more accusations, more turmoil, more
division, potentially,” he said. “However, I just want to provide information to the potentially undecided voter the things that I have seen over the past couple of
years that have led me in a certain direction as to who I am supporting in this presidential election.”
Paul brought up how the economy, the border crisis and gender ideology were all issues that have swayed him in favor of Trump.
He reiterated that he expected backlash for presenting his views in the video but declared he was not scared of the “liberal left media.” He then encouraged his fanbase to see through the celebrities that endorsed Harris. (Stream Daily Caller’s latest documentary ‘Cleaning Up Kamala’ HERE)
“Do your own research, and base that research in the truth, not just reckless propaganda, or your favorite pop star telling you to vote a certain way and you believing them because you love their song,” Paul said.
“Most of your favorite celebrities, athletes, all of them are secretly conservative because the left has created a world where conservatives like me speaking out have major, major consequences,” he said.

Paul clarified that the comments made by Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico were not uttered by Trump himself, and put the focus back on Trump’s accomplishments, compared to Harris’ failures. He pointed to the fact that inflation has been worse under the Biden Administration than during the Trump years.
Kamala has ” basically no accomplishments” while in office, Paul said,

“Do I think Donald Trump is a perfect human being? No, I don’t think anybody on this planet is a perfect human being, myself included. Don’t judge people off of a character that the media has portrayed them to be,” he said.
“To be frank, I’m not concerned with Donald Trump’s character flaws or what he’s done in the past — what I’m concerned with is how good of a president he is, because that is his job and that is what’s going to affect the people of This Nation.”
Paul criticized the current dynamic of conservatives not being able to voice their opinions without major backlash from the left.
“That’s only going to get worse unless people like myself stand up and say fuck the system.”
“I can’t sit back and watch this blasphemy unfold in front of me any longer,” Paul said. (RELATED: Usher Creates Cringe Video With Kamala Harris After Saying He’s Staying Out Of Politics)
“Even if you hate me for making this video, my message to you is, I love you even if you are lost. Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, I have love for all of the people of America.”
“Do the right thing and vote for Donald Trump.”
