The social media post has generated divided reactions from the public.

Vaughn has previously described himself as having libertarian political views, stating in a New York Times interview that he believes in 'allowing individuals to make choices.' This is not the first time the actor has been connected to Trump, as he received criticism in 2020 after being seen chatting and shaking hands with then-President Trump at a college football championship game.
In response to previous criticism about his interactions with political figures, Vaughn has emphasized his willingness to be cordial with politicians across the political spectrum. He noted that he has met with various political figures including Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic strategist James Carville. Vaughn has suggested that strong reactions to such interactions come from a 'small percentage' of people, while most do not take such meetings as seriously.
