Trump expresses disdain for Taylor Swift in his post.
Awhile ago, Donald Trump was attempting to convey that Taylor Swift's fans were backing him. But it appears that Trump was deeply hurt by Swift's public endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, as he took to his Truth Social platform to vent his frustration in all caps.
Following Taylor Swift's declaration of support for Harris on Instagram, Republican Donald Trump unleashed his anger on the social media site in capitals. "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" he posted on his Truth Social account, which serves as a megaphone for the Donald Trump presidential campaign and was co-founded as a substitute for Twitter.
Swift voiced her support for Harris shortly after their debate earlier that week, where the two confronted each other for the first time. Swift publicly announced her intention to vote for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, in the upcoming November 5th election. With a staggering 284 million followers on the platform, Swift has a significant impact on her fanbase.
Before venting his frustration on Swift, Trump expressed his disdain for "rich, job-creating people" who support Harris through all-caps messages on Truth Social. On Sunday morning (local time), the account repeated its criticisms, asserting: "The failed New York Times is a real danger to democracy."
Trump had initially responded to Swift's endorsement with annoyance. "She always seems to support a Democrat," he stated. "And she'll probably pay a price for that in the market," he added. Prior to his public criticism, Trump had also posted AI-generated images on Truth Social that appeared to suggest Taylor Swift and her fans were backing him, which Swift cited as one of the factors motivating her to make her political stance known.
At the time of publishing, the authenticity of the Swift post on the Truth Social account was yet to be confirmed independently.
Trump continueed his criticism of Taylor Swift on his Truth Social account, posting, "I CAN'T STAND TAYLOR SWIFT!" following her public endorsement of Kamala Harris. Despite initially trying to portray Swift's fans as backing him, it seemed Donald Trump was still heavily affected by her support for the Democratic presidential candidate.
