He appeared in a 2025 episode, Jason Oppenheim Opens Up About Childhood Trauma, LA\u2019s Collapse, &amp; Finding Real Love.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1980\">Jason described himself as an &#8220;independent,&#8221; overall but also said he used to be a Democrat, and even said he had canvassed for Barack Obama in the past.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1980\">He said he had never voted for a Republican and that his views shifted during the Covid era, while still describing himself as socially liberal and more conservative on fiscal issues.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1980\">Jason explained: \u201cI\u2019ve been a Democrat\u2026 I would say I\u2019m independent now&#8230; I lean more conservative on fiscal issues, probably more progressive on social issues, but I consider myself independent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1980\">Speaking of Trump, he said: \u201cEverything that Trump does on Fox News is excellent and everything Trump does on CNN is terrible. In fact, about half the things Trump does land somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1980\">\u201cPutting aside Trump, because he can be very antagonistic, there are clearly some things Democrats were doing that people used to agree on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1222\" data-end=\"1980\">It explains why some previously assumed he wasn\u2019t a Trump supporter, or at the very least not someone who would publicly defend Trump&#8217;s talking points.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1982\" data-end=\"2362\">There were other clues before that, too.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1982\" data-end=\"2362\">In January 2025, Jason criticised California leaders over crime and policing and said he regretted voting for Governor Gavin Newsom, which already had some saying his politics were moving rightward, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/reality-star-realtor-slams-california-officials-defunding-police-regrets-voting-gavin-newsom\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1e8y32n\" data-start=\"2364\" data-end=\"2414\">Jason Oppenheim is now publicly defending Trump<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height: 500px;\" data-embed-height=\"740\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SellingSunset\/comments\/1rq5x52\/can_we_call_it_a_wrap_on_this_show_and_jason\/\">Can we call it a wrap on this show and Jason \ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab<\/a><br \/>\nby<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Narrow-Statement9010\/\">u\/Narrow-Statement9010<\/a> in<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SellingSunset\/\">SellingSunset<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"3031\">What really sent some into detective mode was a social media comment attributed to Jason in which he defended Trump\u2019s controversial Greenland stance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"3031\">In the screenshot being shared on Reddit, Jason argues that Trump\u2019s interest in Greenland is about American strategy, not ego, and points to Arctic naval passageways, limiting Russia and China\u2019s positioning, defence bases on Greenland, and mineral and processing rights.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"3031\">He also says people may look back in 20 or 30 years and be grateful for Trump\u2019s efforts, which isn&#8217;t a vague remark. It reads like a full defence of Trump\u2019s reasoning.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3033\" data-end=\"3655\">Jason is tapping into a real policy conversation, even if people strongly disagree with Trump\u2019s &#8220;approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><a
