The Coachella star who played an anti-Trump administration video to festivalgoers grew up a rich kid in New York City and socialized with the president when he was younger.
A 1991 photo shows The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas standing behind Trump and his daughter Ivanka with a VIP guest badge pinned to his chest.
The photo was taken by celebrity photographer Ron Galella at the Maybelline Presents Look of the Year event at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.
At the time, Casablancas was a privileged child who led an lifestyle fit for elites. His father, John Casablancas, was the founder of Elite Model Management and his mother Jeanette Christiansen was a former Miss Denmark.
Trump wasparticularly linkedwith his father and was closely involved with Casablancas’ Elite’s Look of the Year competition.
John was also linked with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein ina 2019 lawsuit, which alleged he sent a underage model to him.
The younger Casablancas attended elite schools in New York City and Switzerland before forming the band in 1998.
Casablancas life forms a stark contrast with the political message he showed to fans at Coachella over the weekend. As the band played finished its final song, a video montage played.
The montage depicts a school being blown up, captioned “last university standing in Gaza.” Then the members got up and left the stage while the clip continued playing.
