Gardner apparently received some negativity from his fans who dislike Trump. He responded to them by saying “Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, I love you. Most importantly, I love my life.”

Gardner then questioned those who judged his post supporting Trump.
“In all honesty, I never voted before and am unfamiliar with politics, but I do think it’s odd to judge people based on who they vote for. Maybe it’s not odd and I just don’t understand because I’m not familiar with it. Somebody fill me in,” he wrote.
