It's not every day that young celebrities rush to the defense of President Trump. Most of the time, he's roundly criticized for his blustery leadership style, aggressive Twitter tactics and history of unsavory remarks—none of which stopped him from getting elected president.
If you still count Lindsey Lohan a celebrity — "Mean Girls" fans probably hold to a lifetime commitment — then the Fourth of July brought a rare show of Trump enthusiasm from a pop culture icon. In a bizarre plea on Twitter, Lohan, 30, asked her fellow Americans to "stop bullying" the president.
THIS IS our president. Stop #bullying him & start trusting him. Thank you personally for supporting #THEUSA

The tweet came days after Trump's own account shared a WWE video of him pummeling a man with the CNN logo edited over his head.
Lohan's politics are hard to pin down. The Obama-Biden campaign rebuffed her offer of support in 2008 because a source reportedly described her as "not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us."
That was about a year after Lohan's two DUI's and three stints in rehab.
Four years later, Lohan was a Mitt Romney supporter.
In 2016, Lohan half-heartedly endorsed Hillary Clinton, only to advise fans to "join" Trump during a February Facebook Live Q&A session.
The irony of Lohan's anti-bullying message, as Rolling Stone pointed out Wednesday, is that Trump once spoke unbecomingly about the actress during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show."
"She's probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed," Trump said, having already disparaged Lohan's freckles. "How come the deeply troubled women, you know, deeply, deeply troubled, they're always the best in bed?"
In response to Lohan's Independence Day appeal, many on Twitter were left scratching their heads, while others became fans for the first time.

Lindsey Lohan is smart. That's what the the media is doing - bullying.

Rather tiring when the Right who cant insist Leftist celebrities shut up about politics, jump up and down with excitement over Lindsey Lohan

As compelling as Lindsey Lohan advice might be, I might have to wait for Paris Hilton and Corey Feldman to weigh in.

I must say it's a surprise coming from Lindsey Lohan. Maybe she did turn over a new leaf. Good for her! #MAGA.
