Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson Supported Donald Trump in September. Has he changed to go with Phil Robertson’s support of Cruz?

From Wikipedia’s page of presidential endorsements under Trump:

Willie Robertson, businessman, CEO of Duck Commander, star of Duck Dynasty[646] (previously endorsed Bobby Jindal)

Looks like he’s changed his mind.

regarding Willie’s supposed ‘endorsement’ of DJT:

The Duck Commander CEO was at the fair grounds here in Oklahoma City the same day of a Trump rally there and was called to the stage by the Donald. Being put on the spot in front of a large gathering Willie said, “I love me some Trump”. He did not say “..and I endorse him for president of the United States.”

You can watch it on YouTube. I saw it there from a link in a thread posted here on FR at the time. I did not understand the exchange to be an endorsement as much as a polite gesture by a Christian man not wanting to unduly embarrass another person. YMMV

I have seen other candidates for political office claim even flimsier mentions as endorsements so it does not surprise me that this is viewed as such.

Willie just happened to be there at same time. Do not think he has endorsed anyone.

Need to get your facts straight.

Willie Robertson does NOT support Trump.
