Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse stopped supporting Donald Trump for president… for about 12 hours. After fierce backlash and a conversation with Trump’s team, Rittenhouse hopped back on the Trump Train with an apologetic post on đť•Ź.
Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights.
My comments made last night were ill-informed and unproductive. I’m 100% behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back to the White House.
Rittenhouse has posted earlier on Friday that he would be writing in Ron Paul.
“Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisers making him bad on the Second Amendment, and that is my issue. If you cannot be completely uncompromisable on the Second Amendment, I will not vote for you and I will write somebody else in. We need champions for the Second Amendment or our rights will be eaten away and eroded each day.”
All đť•Ź posts criticizing Trump were deleted.
Reactions to his reversal were mostly positive from conservative Trump supporters.
I was harder on you than anyone – but I can't hold a grudge when a man apologizes.
Just remember, when it was political poison to take your side, Trump and MAGA was there for you during your lowest point.

That was the wildest rollercoaster ride I've ever seen, and the funny thing is it didn't even last 12 hours hope you learned your lesson because you lost over 42,697 followers with that little announcement. Yikes

Good. I’ve been very hard on you today, as harsh as can be, because you needed it.
Stay with MAGA. That’s where you belong and you’ll continue to belong so long as you don’t say completely insane shit like you did yesterday.

Good move Kyle. I'm glad you listened to the feedback. I respect Ron Paul a lot and I think it's great that you are a supporter of his, but the best way forward to protect the Second Amendment is through Donald Trump. The alternative is worse than you can imagine.

Thank you Kyle. You’re a bigger person than I gave you credit for. Welcome back.

Glad you came to your senses.
Trump 2024.
A vote for ANYONE else is a vote for gun-grabbing Kamala.
Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.

It’s OK to disagree with Trump.
But we have to think big.
We have to win this election.
We can have policy debates all day, so long as the general consensus is that we need to save this country.

In other words, I was losing followers faster than Stacey Abrams can devour a McDonald's Happy Meal, so I'm rejoining Team MAGA because I don't want to get a real job.

Rittenhouse is very young. Like so many youthful “influencers” he isn’t sure what he believes and is often guided by others around him. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly he matures.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies.
