Popular content creator and former outspoken critic of Donald Trump, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, has officially endorsed the former president in his bid for the White House in 2024. Known for his viral pranks and comedic videos, Vitaly has amassed millions of followers across social media platforms.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Vitaly reflected on his past opposition to Trump, stating, “Back in 2016, I used to be a Never Trumper. Honestly, I didn’t know why. I even streaked the NBA finals with ‘Trump sucks’ written across my chest.”
In 2016, Vitaly made headlines when he interrupted the final minute of Game 4 of the NBA Finals by running shirtless onto the court, with “Trump Sucks” written across his chest and “LeBron for President” scrawled on his back.
Security immediately tackled him to the ground, resulting in an arrest.

Living in LA had me brainwashed believing he was a racist.
