"I am 100 percent a Trump supporter. I believe in his message, I believe he will run this country like he runs his life, successfully. I stand as a proud American and I stand for a unified America that is tolerant of each other no matter who we voted for. I stand behind our President because that's the American thing to do. I believe in love, above all." -Joy Villa to Fox News.

Miss Villa, a self-described singer-songwriter and vegan-bodybuilder, stormed the red carpet wearing a "Make America Great Again" dress.
The jaw-dropping, star-spangled ensemble also included a train emblazoned with President Trump's name.
"Sometimes you just gotta be free to express yourself," she wrote on Twitter.
It was a truly remarkable moment of diversity and inclusion in Hollywood—one that will surely land the relatively unknown performer on the Worst Dressed List.
My Fox News colleague and resident millennial Caleb Parke gave Miss Villa's ensemble a thumbs-up.
"I don't care what your politics are, this girl is bold—and might I add, beautiful," he said.
She did look stunning—and patriotic.
The dress was designed by Andre Soriano, a Filipino immigrant who came to our shores in search of the American dream.
"I've never been in the political area," Soriano told The Hollywood Reporter. "However, it's just so crazy that people are getting beat up because they voted for Trump."
Mr. Soriano was inspired to create his masterpiece after watching the "Nasty Woman" protest in Washington, DC.
"I am an American," he told THR. "I moved here from the Philippines and I highly believed in the trueness of what this country can bring. It's about bringing people together, that's the message." (Screengrab via Fox News)
It's worth repeating that Mr. Soriano came to America legally.
Unfortunately, the red, white and blue dress is not available at Nordstrom's, Sears or TJ Maxx. Sorry, fashionistas.
Liberals suffered a near melt-down on social media. Much of the vitriol is simply too vile to share in a family-friendly column...
I will say this about Miss Villa—she's got moxie—either that or she's slap crazy.
Wearing a Donald Trump dress at the Grammys? Sweet mercy, America. That's like showing up at a PETA protest eating a cheeseburger.
[According to a Fox News report, Joy Villa's new EP sales are soaring since wearing the dress!]
