A cavalcade of Trump fans trolled an A-List California enclave filled with lefty celebs such as Oprah Winfrey and Meghan Markle by driving their “Trump Train’’ right through it Saturday.
A series of posts on X showed the succession of flag-waving, sign-holding, horn-honking cars and motorcycles traversing Coast Village Road in Montecito defiantly blaring their support for the president-elect.
The wild display was likely an unwelcome shock to the hordes of limousine-liberal stars — some of the Democrats’ biggest donors — in the Santa Barbara suburb.
Winfrey, Markle and hubby Prince Harry, as well as bold-faced names such as Ellen DeGeneres, Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ariana Grande, Rob Lowe, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, call the Southern California paradise home.
The tony town, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, provides just the right mix of mild weather and scenic seascape for privacy-seeking celebrities with cash to burn.
Harry, 40, and Markle, 43, famously purchased their $14 million Montecito mansion in 2020, seeking refuge 95 miles north of Los Angeles after the couple’s Megxit melodrama.
Winfrey, 70, owns a 70-acre compound comprising three Montecito ranches that she calls “The Promised Land,” — valued at $90 million.
Winfrey, a billionaire several times over, came under fire this campaign season for accepting a $1 million appearance fee for her interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, who she endorsed in the 2024 presidential race.
While Winfrey claims she “was not paid a dime,” her production company, Harpo, cashed the campaign’s check.
The Harris campaign later claimed it was required by federal law to pay “for any ancillary costs for that performance,” including for travel and other costs for Winfrey’s staff — but the whopping price tag prompted a slew of criticism and questions.
As for Prince Harry and Markle, they laid low from political discourse this campaign season, urging fans to get out and vote without endorsing a candidate, calling the 2024 presidential race “the most important election of our lifetime.”
That’s a more tepid take compared with their 2020 message, in which they urged voters to “reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity,” in a video widely seen as a tacit endorsement of Biden.
Their decision to keep quiet this cycle may be due to Trump’s threat that Harry could be deported if he were found to have lied on his visa application about past drug use.
Saturday’s California spectacle was just one of many so-called “Trump Train” processions that have popped up in cities and towns across the US in support of The Donald.
