When it comes to specific Trump policies that appeal, adult performers are vague, but it mostly comes down to finances. As OnlyFans stars, many make a small fortune. They don’t want that fortune overly taxed. They also don’t want inflation continuing to cut into their profits. The porn stars I spoke with long for the financial days of the Trump administration.  

But there’s also an aesthetic kinship between porn and MAGA. Porn stars see themselves in Trump, but not in Kamala. Trump tans, we suntan. Trump screams, we moan. The only place where you’ll see more gold than Trump Tower is at the AVN Awards. You don’t need a poli-sci degree or to work as a pollster to know Americans vote on culture and aesthetics as much as, if not more than, policy. When an adult performer looks in the mirror, they look way more like a Trump than an MSNBC wine mom.

More importantly, Trump faces similar public ridicule to the controversies that adult performers face. Trump gets their support partially because of “the relentless attacks,” Love says. “Left and right, the system has tried to destroy this man. When a system hell-bent on driving a wedge between Americans tries to destroy a person for disrupting the system, we should all jump in to support the disrupter.”
