Does Charlize Theron support Donald Trump?
Theron has repeatedly spoken out against Trump’s inauguration.
“The reason it feels like the world is on fire is because it is,” she said at Charlize Theron’s Africa Outreach Program block party in June 2025, according to Variety. “Here in Los Angeles, in the United States, and around the world, we are rapidly moving backwards.

She also participated in the Women’s March protests in 2017, according to Associated Press archives. USA TODAY reached out to a representative from Theron’s organization for this story.
