Who knew Donald Trump was such a Miley Cyrus fan?

In the days following the 2013 MTV Video Music Awaards, it seems everyone has weighed in on the 20-year-old singer's controversial performance. Including Donald Trump.

Yep. The real-estate mogul took to Twitter on Thursday, Aug. 29, and posted a Vine video defending the pop star.

"Miley, don't let them get you down. They're jealous," Trump said.

The Donald captioned the video, "A message for my hotel guest."

Trump isn't the only one who has spoken out in support of Cyrus.

During a radio appearance on Fresh 102.7 in New York City earlier this week, Justin Timberlake said, "I like Miley. I like her a lot. I think, you know, she's young. She's letting everyone know that she's growing up."

He added, "I just think it's the VMAs. It's not like she did it at the Grammys. Let her do her thing."
