Donald Trump took to Truth Social this week and dropped some accusations aimed at former Vice President Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, and Rev. Al Sharpton.
According to Trump, the Harris campaign paid $11 million to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah, and $600,000 to Sharpton for campaign “endorsements”—and he says it’s all illegal.
He claimed Beyoncé didn’t even perform, “not one note,” and left the stage to a “booing and angry audience.” Trump’s rant went on to say that those celebrities broke the law by accepting endorsement money and should be prosecuted.
Let’s be real—Trump’s post is loud but light on receipts.
• Public records show no $11 million payment to Beyoncé. Reports say her company was paid around $165K—most likely for production or event-related costs.
• Oprah’s team says she wasn’t paid to endorse Harris and that her production firm was only reimbursed for event expenses.
• As for Sharpton, there’s no confirmed $600K payout for endorsement purposes.
And legally? Federal campaign finance laws allow for production and event costs to be covered—what’s not allowed is direct payment for a public endorsement without reporting it properly. So far, no laws have been proven broken.
Trump’s rant could be more about distracting from his own legal heat—especially with recent headlines linking him to Epstein case files.
Still, Trump says Kamala, Beyoncé, Oprah, and Sharpton need to “face the consequences” for these so-called endorsement deals, even though no credible evidence supports his claims.
