Kyle Forgeard and the Nelk Boys played a big role in getting young men excited about Donald Trump during the 2024 election. Their “Full Send” podcast reached millions of viewers, many of whom weren’t into politics before. By staying true to their fun, edgy style, they made supporting Trump feel cool and relatable instead of stuffy or boring.
The Nelk Boys didn’t plan to be political influencers. They just liked Trump and used their platform to back him. Their interviews with Trump and other conservatives felt genuine, not like scripted TV news. This authenticity resonated with young guys who distrust mainstream media. Their casual, joke-filled approach turned politics into something you could laugh about while still taking seriously.
YouTube tried to shut down their Trump interview in 2022, deleting it after it hit 5 million views. But this backfired. The backlash showed how much people wanted free speech, and Nelk’s audience only grew. By 2024, even YouTube was celebrating Trump content, proving that cancel culture couldn’t stop grassroots support.
The Nelk Boys also built a business empire—like Happy Dad seltzer—that kept their fans loyal. Their merch drops and viral videos created a “Full Send” lifestyle that mixed partying with conservative values. Young men didn’t just buy their products; they bought into the idea that supporting Trump was part of being bold and anti-establishment.
Trump’s team smartly leaned into this vibe. Instead of stuffy rallies, he joined podcasts and hung out with influencers. Forgeard said Trump’s ability to joke and connect with regular people made him likable. This strategy turned unlikely voters—guys who’d rather watch pranks than news—into first-time Trump supporters.
Democrats missed the mark by ignoring platforms like YouTube and dismissing Nelk’s influence. While they focused on traditional ads, Trump’s team tapped into a culture war that framed conservatives as the rebels. Nelk’s mix of humor and politics made voting feel like part of the fun, not a chore.
The result? A surge of young male voters helped secure Trump’s victory. These guys didn’t care about policy debates—they wanted someone who spoke their language and fought censorship. The Nelk Boys proved that loyalty to Trump wasn’t about politics alone. It was about identity and pushing back against “woke” rules.
In the end, this election showed that real influence isn’t found on CNN or in newspapers. It’s in the hands of creators who understand their audience. The Left’s obsession with controlling speech and trendy causes alienated normal folks. Meanwhile, Trump and the Nelk Boys gave young men a team to join—one that values freedom, humor, and winning.
