September 15, 2024 TruthUSA

Donald Trump has expressed his dislike for Taylor Swift – shortly after the pop star endorsed his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris.

In a post on his Truth Social media account, Mr Trump wrote: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

Shortly after the Trump-Harris debate, Swift announced to her 284 million Instagram followers that she would be voting for Ms Harris. She stated it was “because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them”.

Initially, Mr Trump dismissed Swift’s endorsement of his rival by stating he was “not a Taylor fan“.

However, as polls show Ms Harris gaining ground on Mr Trump in the upcoming presidential election, the former president has intensified his criticism against the successful recording artist.

Swift’s endorsement of Ms Harris has received over nine million “likes”, leading to speculation that it could positively impact the Democrat’s chances in the election.

Nevertheless, some argue that celebrity endorsements do not significantly influence US elections, as much of Swift’s fanbase likely already supports the Democratic party.

In response to Mr Trump’s online tirade, the Harris campaign playfully teased him in a press release filled with puns referencing Swift’s songs.

“Mr. Not-at-all Fine has spent this week working through his feelings, whining about his Champagne Problems, and spending exactly none of his time addressing the issues facing the American people,” the statement reads.

It further states: “His rambling, yelling and constant conspiracy theories have many asking if The Man is ‘too emotional’ to be president.

“Call it What You Want, but it’s Nothing New for the Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”

Referring to his debate performance, the release continues to highlight the tensions within the Trump campaign as they struggle to “Shake it Off as the Bad Blood between Trump, his running mate, and his own party boils”.
