In a twist that could rival any daytime soap opera, Michael Rapaport, the man who’s never shied away from speaking his mind (and let’s be honest, sometimes we wish he would), has thrown us all for a loop. In a recent chat that left jaws on the floor and probably some coffee spit out in surprise, Rapaport declared that voting for Donald Trump is “on the table” for him now. The same guy who once had nothing but choice words for Trump, is now considering him over Joe Biden.
Now, Rapaport, a staple of Hollywood who’s as New York as they come, has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with President Biden, particularly criticizing his stance on Israel and border security. In a world where showing your ID at the airport feels like an episode of “Survivor,” but crossing the border is as easy as a stroll in Central Park, Rapaport’s frustration is palpable. And let’s not even get started on the whole anti-Israel vibe. That’s a hard no from him.
But here’s where it gets juicy. Despite his colorful nicknames for Trump (which, let’s face it, are too spicy for this article), Rapaport admits that if it comes down to “Pig D*** Donald Trump” and “Smokin’ Joe Biden,” he might just have to side with Trump. Why? Because, in his words, “we need to get this whole f****** situation under control.” And honestly, who can blame him for wanting a bit more order in this chaos?
This revelation comes amid a backdrop of increasing concern for safety in New York City, highlighted by recent attacks on police officers. The funeral of Officer Jonathan Diller, which saw Trump in attendance while Democratic leaders were given the cold shoulder, only adds to the narrative of a city yearning for a return to law and order.
Meanwhile, Trump’s rising poll numbers against Biden are causing a stir, and celebrities threatening to leave the country (again) if Trump reclaims the presidency is the icing on this political drama cake. Even sports legends like Stephen A. Smith are suggesting Biden might want to consider retirement.
So, what does this all mean? Well, for starters, it shows that the winds of political preference can change direction faster than a New York minute. It also highlights a growing disillusionment with the current administration’s handling of key issues. As for Rapaport…only time will tell if he’ll actually cast his vote for Trump. But one thing’s clear – in politics, never say never.
