Joe Germanotta also gave Trump credit for making his restaurant "successful," not his famous, Oscar- and Grammy-winning daughter.
Joe Germanotta is giving us a million reasons to hate him...
Lady Gaga's father, restaurateur Joe Germanotta, has been making appearances on Fox News in order to endorse Donald Trump for president in the upcoming election.
"I endorse Donald Trump. I endorse his policies," Germanotta said during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Thursday.
"They're two vastly different people. One of them is pure, and he's a patriot. The other is just going to say whatever she needs to say to get elected. That's basically what I hear, and I'm tired of hearing about her neighbors' lawn."
He specifically mentioned the economy and immigration as two areas where he trusts Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris.
"Six years ago, I was going to have the best year we ever had at Joanne (his restaurant) before COVID," he said. "And when I say best year, it was 25 percent more than any other year."
That might have had more to do with Gaga's 2016 album Joanne, which shares a name with the restaurant, and the fact that Gaga starred in A Star is Born six years ago, than anything that Trump did.
Germanotta called the current Biden administration's immigration policies "an invasion as far as I see it."
"We don't have secure borders anymore. There's no more legal immigration," he said, before pivoting to talk about his restaurant again. "My clientele, my customers, the ones that used to come once a week, now they come once every three weeks. They're not coming to New York City."
"The real foundation, I"m not voting for people," he said. "I mean, look, Donald, he's abrasive. But he's a patriot and his policies are there. They're on target for me anyway. I'm into low fuel and food prices, low interest rates, good economy, pro-police, let the police do their job, law and order. Don't let these protestors burn down our cities and the small businesses. Keep the jobs here in the United States."
"You can't get worse than it is now," he said. "I endorse Donald Trump. I endorse his policies. I endorse freedom of speech. Thank you Elon Musk, that's all I've got to say."
