Country Music Star And Wife Show Support For Trump After Conviction
Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany are still huge fans of Donald Trump.
The former President and current Republican candidate for POTUS was convicted by a jury Thursday in a Manhattan court of 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. The case stemmed from a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump now faces a maximum sentence of 136 years in prison when he's sentenced July 11th.
The conviction set social media on fire late Thursday afternoon with people all over the political spectrum weighing in.
Many of Trump's supporters are making it clear the conviction means nothing to them. That's exactly where Jason and Brittany are at.

The "Try That In A Small Town" singer posted an upside down American flag, which is viewed as a sign of distress and danger to a person's life or property.
"Scary times in our country right now, man. When a former POTUS gets treated like this by our justice system, what does that mean for the rest of us??? If there was ever a time to speak up, ITS NOW! Make no mistake…. We are in trouble," Aldean wrote.
The viral post has more than 378,000 likes as of Friday morning.
Brittany also took to Instagram to show her support. Jason's wife posted a photo of them with Trump and the caption, "WE LOVE YOU @realdonaldtrump
Both posts generated plenty of reactions. You can check out some of the responses below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com:
- I did not serve for almost 21 years for this. My brother and brother-in-law did not die in Iraq and Afghanistan for this. This clown show is not the representation of America. We need to stand together now more than EVER, as we've seen that the left is willing to do anything to stay in power and continue destroying this country.
- Still voting for Trump button
- November will be the real verdict! Trump 2024
- Can’t wait to vote for Trump for the third time this November
- Thank you for speaking up for him on your platform! Trump 2024!!
- Love to see you and Brittany standing behind Trump. Real Americans right there. Let’s f*cking go
It's clear that opinions on the verdict are all over the place, but judging from the overwhelming support for Trump that's flooding social media, it's hard to imagine his most loyal supporters are swayed by this verdict. No matter what, it appears Jason and Brittany are riding with Trump through November and they're not afraid to say it publicly.
I'm sure they're definitely not alone in that belief and stance.
