00:00President Donald Trump resurfaced a two-year-old news article about Lady Gaga's father over the
00:04weekend, sharing it on his social media platform, Truth Social. On March 1st, Trump reposted a
00:102024 headline from the New York Post that read,
00:12Lady Gaga's father endorses Donald Trump in 2024 race, talks migrant crisis, he's a patriot.
00:18The article covered comments made by Joe Germanotta during a September 2024 appearance
00:22on Fox & Friends, where he publicly backed Trump's presidential campaign. Germanotta,
00:26a New York City restaurateur, stated during that interview,
00:29I endorse Donald Trump. I endorse his policies. He cited immigration, economic conditions,
00:34and public safety as key reasons for his support. At the time, national polling showed immigration
00:39and cost-of-living concerns ranking high among voters' priorities during the election cycle.
00:43In the interview, Germanotta described Trump as abrasive, but said he supported policies he
00:47believed would lower fuel and food prices, reduce interest rates, and strengthen law enforcement.
00:52He also referenced the financial performance of his restaurant, saying business conditions
00:55had shifted compared to pre-pandemic years. The resurfaced article appeared alongside several
01:00other posts from Trump, highlighting reactions to his recent State of the Union address. The
01:05president did not provide additional commentary explaining why he chose to spotlight the 2024
01:09endorsement. Germanotta has previously said his political views are independent from those of his
01:13daughter. Lady Gaga publicly supported Democratic candidates during the 2024 campaign and appeared at a
01:19rally on its final day. In an interview with Rolling Stone after the election, she said she focuses on
01:23maintaining her personal relationship with her father, despite political differences.
01:27Germanotta has described himself as an open-minded Republican, and has emphasized his support for
01:31LGBTQ communities. He has stated in past interviews that his New York restaurant regularly hosts drag
01:37performances and events. Neither Lady Gaga nor her representatives publicly responded to Trump's
01:42recent post. The president continues to use Truth Social to share endorsements, media coverage,
01:47and commentary related to his administration and political agenda. Drop your thoughts in the comments,
