“Donald Trump is not gonna be that bad,” Steve Harvey said on camera in 2017. “Don’t run.”
He then claimed, perhaps in jest: “He’s gonna make Ikea bring they ass over here and start building them desks and stuff in America.”
Worst of all, Harvey then grew louder in volume and cited the campaign slogan: “‘Cause he’s gonna make America great again! Let’s go, Donald Trump.”

As we mentioned, some of Steve Harvey’s defenders have insisted that his words were dripping in sarcasm.
But, clearly, not everyone agrees with that.
From Twitter to Reddit, Steve Harvey’s critics and (former) fans have taken to replies to express their disappointment and disgust.

If Steve Harvey is a Trump Republican, is it really a surprise?
Social media users pointed out that Harvey, a man who was not always there for some of his own children, might not be such a surprising Trump supporter.
Steve Harvey has an estimated net worth in the nine digits. Even if he has less than that, he’s still a mega-millionaire and one of the 1%. Deregulation and financial loopholes from a Trump regime could potentially benefit him, personally.
However, we want to emphasize that — whether Harvey’s 2017 clip was sarcasm or not — he has never formally endorsed the disgraced former president.
In fact, after a controversial meeting with Trump that same year, Harvey insisted that he hoped that the sit-down would promote positive change. Seven years later, and it appears that his hopes were in vain.
It may be more accurate to say that Steve Harvey is guilty of bothsidesism, either out of his own ideology or because it’s easier for his career. When someone has enormous wealth and can remain untouched by the problems that impact most Americans, it can seem easier to say nothing than to “rock the boat.”
