I was scrolling on social media and saw a few posts about Ross Lynch being a trump supporter. I looked it up and I just got an occasional Tiktok or Twitter post about it. I'm not sure if it true or not but would love to know for sure.

I would assume this is just an internet rumor as there is no official evidence. I found no articles, videos, or pictures to insinuate this was true right now.

This is seeming false! and while Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, the website has complied the list of public figures who have supported trump in the past and present with sources for each person and Ross Lynch isn't included! List of Donald Trump 2020 presidential campaign non-political endorsements - Wikipedia

False

Thank you for providing the link to see Trump's endorsements! I'm sure there will be an updated one after the 2024 election as-well.

I also researched and dived deep into this article, and I assume, for the most part, that this claim is seemingly false. I did not find anywhere that states that Ross Lynch supports or has endorsed Donald Trump. This link was super helpful for seeing the names that support Trump, but again Ross Lynch's name was not present.

I did some research through Ross Lynch and his family's social media pages, and I found that he and some of his siblings (Rydel Funk & Riker Lynch) follow Robert F Kennedy Jr. on Instagram. They do not follow Donald Trump or any other politicians, but RFK's endorsement of Trump could have led them to vote for Trump in the 2024 election. There is currently no direct evidence to support the claim that they are in support of Donald Trump, but it might be an easy assumption for Ross Lynch's fans to make.

The link to Ross Lynch's Instagram following list:

Thank you for posting clear evidence to help me better understand the claim because I believe this piece of evidence is more vivid and clear about if he actually supports trump or not.
