What are the rules for referencing real life people, places and things in fiction?

For example; Fictional character X feels emboldened to be more confrontational with his racist beliefs now that Trump has been reelected.

Or

Fictional character Y starts his day listening to Metallica to get him hyped up for the gym

Or

Or Fictional character Z is trying to emulate his favorite influencer Logan Paul with his up and coming youtube channel.

Just trying to avoid having to possibly re-write sections or even worse get sued. All info and advice is appreciated, thanks!
