In a surprising turn of events, model and TV personality Amber Rose took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to endorse former President Donald Trump. Rose's unexpected appearance on Monday night drew significant attention, as she passionately criticized the media's portrayal of Trump and urged Americans to support his presidential campaign.

Rose's endorsement came shortly after Trump, the Republican nominee, arrived in Wisconsin following an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania the previous week. Addressing the crowd, Rose shared her journey from being a Trump critic to becoming one of his supporters, emphasizing the importance of truth and the need for better lives for future generations.

"I’m here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United States,” Rose declared, as reported by The Independent. As a mother of two, Rose spoke from a personal perspective, expressing her concerns about the current state of the country.

Rose admitted that she initially believed the "left-wing’s propaganda that Donald Trump was a racist," which influenced her earlier criticisms of him. However, over time, she realized that Trump's supporters were inclusive and diverse, welcoming people of all races and orientations. This revelation shifted her perspective, leading her to question the media narratives she had once accepted.

Discussing the economic challenges facing Americans, Rose remarked, "When you go to the store to buy food for your family, you’re shocked; when you fill up your gas tank, you’re p***ed, I know I am, and when you turn on the news, you are just exhausted. Inflation is out of control." She expressed frustration with the current economic situation and highlighted the need for change.

Praising Trump and his base of supporters, Rose concluded, "And that’s when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong.” Her heartfelt endorsement marked a significant departure from her stance during the 2016 US Presidential elections, when she called Trump an "idiot" and hoped he would not become president.

Rose was one of several notable speakers at the RNC on Monday night, joining the ranks of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Alabama Sen. Katie Britt, all of whom endorsed Trump. Her unexpected endorsement added a unique and intriguing dimension to the event, capturing the attention of both supporters and critics alike.
