Many fans were excited about X post and shared their excitement in the comments
People discussed how this endorsement could reflect a changing political climate, with one commenting, “People are no longer afraid to come out and support Trump, and I’m here for it.”
While others got a different take-away from the X-post.
‘Sexy girls like Trump! That’s all you need to know, folks!!!,” one person wrote.
Another fan said: ‘Amazing. You have great taste.’
But not everyone was amused by the choice, as many skeptics also voiced their opinions.
“You’re not even relevant. Because of decisions like this,” one user said.
Another agreed: “Maxim hasn’t been relevant in 20 years.”
“I’m so glad I’ve never bought a copy of this magazine,” someone chimed in.
MAXIM released its endorsement just as Harris’ voter support appears to be waning.
Trump has rocketed to a 17 percentage point lead in the betting markets and a one-point lead in the key battleground states.
