Yes, Afroman ran as a right-wing Libertarian candidate for the US presidency in 2024. Trump is a rival for Afroman (since Trump is also interested in getting those same votes, he also tries to pick up the right-wing Libertarian vote). Afroman wants to draw some of the same voters (and attract the same audience in terms of his business interests).
This is not like friends who become apolitical and then eventually Republican - this is a guy who is already Republican-adjacent and demonstrates plenty of right-wing commitments.
My point is that based on a single photo of Afroman with Trump, people on Lemmy are now claiming Afroman is a Trumper, but given the facts we have, we can't really support that claim (as far as I am aware, at least - still wonder if he might eventually get on the Trump train).
That doesn't mean Afroman isn't a reactionary piece of shit who supports the very political culture that has victimized him.
