Where in the quote does he say that he supports him? It just looks like he is being polite.

Someone that doesn't support him would not be polite like that

 

I can't imagine Rihanna for example saying that

He continued, "I just want people to vote for things that are just, things that are important to people: the right to choose, the right to be who you are, and not let anybody else tell you who to be. And that goes all the way up to the Supreme Court."

 

While John did not explicitly endorse either Kamala Harris or Trump, he asked rhetorically, "I just hope that people make the right decision to see what the future is going to be. Is it going to be fire and brimstone … or are we going to have a much calmer, a much safer place? People can vote for who they like, but as far as I'm concerned, I love love. And I'm a loving person, and I want that to come back to America. I feel it's been lost in the last 12 years."

i don't think that this reads as being trump supporter

Where did he say he was a Trump supporter?
 

Here is more context:

 

Quote

"I laughed, I thought that was brilliant," John told Variety's Ramin Setoodeh in an interview at Toronto Film Festival. "I just thought, 'Good on you, Donald.' … Donald's always been a fan of mine, and he's been to my concerts many, many times. So, I mean, I've always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious. It made me laugh."

You all need to stop acting like saying something that isn't a drag about someone = support. :rip:

Frankly, it just sounds like Elton is a narcissist just like Trump and just praises whoever is nice to him. His entire worldview revolves around himself.

This just proves what you said :

Whilst I don't think it's exactly support, you know full well if this was a pop girl she'd be getting scalped for this :giraffe:

"Hold Me Closer" hitmaker is just being apolitical. Besides, he's a foreigner from Britain
