Lady Gaga’s dad, Joe Germanotta, has thrown his chef hat into the ring for the 2024 presidential race—no, he’s not running for office, but he’s definitely running his mouth. The 67-year-old restaurateur, who serves up both pasta and political hot takes, is back at it again, serving Trump-flavored opinions hotter than a freshly baked pizza. Appearing on Fox News (because where else would one go to dish out a political tirade?), Joe doubled down on his support for former president Donald Trump, sprinkling in a few reasons why he’s voting for him, like parmesan on a plate of spaghetti.
“They’re two totally different people,” Joe said, clearly inspired by his days of crafting restaurant menus. “One of them is pure, you know? A real patriot. The other one… well, she’ll say whatever she needs to get elected. I’m tired of hearing about her neighbor’s lawn.” Ah yes, the classic political critique: too much lawn talk, not enough patriotism.
Joe continued, as if narrating the world’s most unusual infomercial, “I’m not voting for people, okay? I mean, Donald’s abrasive, like an undercooked meatball, but he’s a patriot! And his policies? Right on target for me. I like low fuel prices, cheap groceries, low interest rates, and a solid economy. Pro-police, too. Let them do their job! Law and order! And for goodness’ sake, stop letting people burn down businesses like they’re roasting marshmallows at a campfire.”
“Keep the jobs here!” Joe exclaimed, probably while envisioning a pizza assembly line. “If you stack Trump and Kamala side by side… I don’t know what the hell she’s talking about.” It was a rhetorical side-by-side comparison that felt more like comparing a deep-dish pizza to a salad, with Joe firmly on team deep-dish.
Back in 2020, Joe wasn’t shy about his Trump love, even though the former president was too busy tossing shade at his daughter, Lady Gaga, for supporting Biden. But, hey, Joe’s loyalty apparently doesn’t waver for anyone—not even for his daughter, who’s known for poker faces and a voice as powerful as her politics.
Recently, Joe’s been making the rounds on Fox News like a political food truck, serving up piping hot takes about Trump, one cable news show at a time. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that Joe Germanotta loves his politics like his pizzas: controversial, well-done, and with a side of spice.
