Kim Kardashian caused a stir by posting a photo of Melania Trump during Donald Trump’s inauguration. The post, showing Melania in a black suit and hat, sparked mixed reactions online, especially given Kardashian’s ties to figures like Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump.
Some criticized Kardashian for her apparent support of Trump, while others praised her for highlighting Melania’s elegance. Kardashian’s past White House visits for prison reform also fueled speculation about her political leanings.
Kanye West, her ex-husband, has been a vocal Trump supporter, and despite Trump’s win, tensions remain between him and Kardashian. In 2023, Trump criticized her on social media after a failed attempt to recruit athletes to the White House.
Kardashian’s actions have disappointed some, with critics questioning her stance given her identity as a mother of Black children.
