Vonn, who watched Trump’s swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol building with other prominent influencers and business leaders, told Fox News Digital that being at the ceremony made him realize how much he appreciates being in a free country.
“I felt lucky to see the graduation, it was inspiring, and God allowed me to live in a country where I have the right to vote,” he said.

Vonn mentioned to Fox that he considers himself “pretty centrist,” but shared that he echoed one of the main messages of Trump’s inaugural address.
“It’s time to put America first,” the comedian said, referencing Trump’s words that every day his administration would “simply put America first.”
The comedian pointed to two things he thought Trump would push for in his second term: relief for the Palestinians in Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
“I think Trump plans to help rebuild Palestine after the genocide there. I pray that we help those people,” he said.
Vaughn also said he wants to see “hospital and health care pricing transparency” going forward.

The comedian has gone viral for comments he posted on Tuesday about former President Biden’s departure from Biden. Vaughn expressed his condolences to the elderly ex-president and reprimanded his supervisors.
“Praying for Joe Biden’s comfort and health this morning,” he wrote. “May he find the rest and peace and rest that he deserves. Imagine being a puppet for the selfish needs of a cognitively stressed old man. That’s clearly what’s happening to me. It’s painful and heartbreaking.”
He added, “If someone did that to my father or my grandfather, I’d rather be alive (s—) than them. I hope the world knows that most of us Americans are better people than that. We do not treat the elderly this way, but we were powerless to stop it.
Asked about X’s post, Vonn told Fox: “It wasn’t really political. I’m pretty centrist. I never knew Biden. I don’t know what he’s like.”
“I think it was just a human thing. I’m glad he had a more peaceful existence. He’s free now.”
