Zachary Levi endorses Donald Trump for president

Zachary Levi has offered a public endorsement of Donald Trump.

The Shazam actor had been supporting Robert F Kennedy in his bid to be the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election, but after he dropped out last month, the 44-year-old star has now given his backing to the controversial former president, who previously held office from 2017 to 2021.

He appeared at a campaign rally in Michigan over the weekend and told the crowd: "I'm not gonna take too much time, but I did just wanna just give you a little context about why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these various things.

"I grew up in my family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in. My parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan.

"Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.

"And for a long time, I was like, 'Man, I really want to find a politician that represents all of the things that I want and I want to see in a presidential candidate.'

"And this year, I found Bobby Kennedy, and I thought, 'Man, this guy is it. He's the real deal.' And in a perfect world, whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby.

"But we don't live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one, we live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff. And we want to stop that, right?

"We're here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again. And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump.

"Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there. And he's gonna get us there because he's gonna have the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge and the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr and former representative Tulsi Gabbard."

It seems Zachary has had a change of heart as he has previously blasted the former Apprentice star.

Back in 2016, he tweeted: "But please, don't vote for Donald Trump or Hilary Clinton. I believe with all my heart that neither actually cares about anything but power…"

And four years later, he posted: "I am no fan or supporter of Trump, and I find his behaviour to be vulgar, callous, narcissistic, and lacking empathy. And while I'm not a Conservative, I know many who backed 45 not because they liked him, but because he was the only candidate they felt cared about their needs."
