'Non-binary' TikToker cries over being featured in Trump campaign ad for 1 second: 'I felt shame' ​

James Rose, a male social media influencer who believes he is non-binary and transgender, posted a video of himself crying to his platforms after he was featured in a Donald Trump campaign video for approximately one second.

As reported by TimCast, Rose was pictured in a Trump campaign ad next to controversial influencer Dylan Mulvaney and reacted to the video by posting a tear-filled introspective over the second-long feature.

“I saw it, and I kind of fell apart," Rose said in the video. “I didn’t want to tell you that because I didn’t want to look weak — and it’s like, oh my God, that’s so stupid, I cry on the internet all the time. Like, why is today any different?" he continued.

Rose has approximately 500,000 followers on his TikTok account, which specifies his pronouns are "she/they" and categorizes him as an "actress."

“I didn’t want to share this either, but I felt shame," he went on. “I felt shame about being public about my transition, being bubbly and fun and loving life, and I thought, ‘Oh, maybe if I were just different, then maybe I wouldn’t have, like, failed my community in this way,'" he said through tears.

"They want to eradicate us," Rose claimed. "If they make examples of people like me and my gorgeous friend Dylan then they are one step closer to that eradication."

Rose then quickly shut off the tears to defend his "community" and said that “this presidential campaign — I’m just predicting it’s going to be horrible."

“Not only for James personally ... but for trans people in general. We are going to have to hold each other in [the] community tighter than ever," he explained. He then stated that transgender people are "beautiful," "wonderful," and "part of the fabric of society."

The Trump ad was titled "Invasion of America" and listed a series of what the campaign views as President Biden's failures. Inflation, war, and transgender ideology were all contested during the ad.

“The global elitists who send your kids to war, who tell you a woman is a man and that a man is a woman, who teach your children their country, their faith, their beliefs, are a lie — they have corrupted every facet of American government, weaponized it against you," the ad's narrator said.

At around the 30-second mark of the video, Rose is shown alongside Mulvaney for approximately one second before the video transitions to a statue being removed and Pride celebrations inside a public school.



Rose thanked Trump in a subsequent video for getting his "d**k wet" as he claimed gay men were reaching out to him after seeing the campaign ad.
