Former AEW TNT Champion Dustin Rhodes (Goldust in WWF/E) has drawn backlash from fans after revealing that he voted for Donald Trump in the U.S. Presidential Election last year. The election, contested between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, saw Trump return to office as the 47th President of the United States in January 2025.
In the months since, the political climate in America has been very heated due to various issues. There has been a major divide between the left and right wings.
One left-leaning Threads account recently posted a message criticizing Trump voters, urging them to “own” the current state of the country rather than blaming past Democratic administrations.
Rhodes responded to the post and said he voted to make America great again and that, in his opinion, things have indeed been great under Trump’s leadership.
Many fans were not happy with the AEW star’s comment. You can read some of the reactions he got below:
“Dustin, you just lost a 20+ year fan. Be accountable. What a joke.”
“This is absolutely disgusting but also not surprising. Your brother is outwardly MAGA also. It’s sad really your gimmick was a cross dresser man…like what a f**king hypocrite.”
“So being an ally was just performative huh?”
“Your transgender child is secretly ashamed of you.”
“Wow. You are a f**king scumbag piece of sh*t if you are happy with what he’s doing. Hes a pedophile rapist that’s kidnapping people off the street. Shame on you you f**king loser”
“Thank you for telling me as an autistic fan of @aew that you are not a safe wrestler to cheer for, or ever meet in the future. After this regime just decimated special education for disabled students, and consistently targets my community, the fact you think that’s great is abhorrent.”
“Congratulations, you just made all of your fans hate you. Good job.”
“I hope you explain to your son why you voted for a man who has repeatedly done everything to remove their rights”
