Former President Donald Trump expressed his strong disapproval towards one of Kamala Harris’ prominent supporters, Taylor Swift, in a series of impassioned posts on his social media platform, Truth Social, on a Sunday morning.
In a vehement tirade against affluent backers of Harris, Trump stated, “I DESPISE TAYLOR SWIFT,” criticizing those who support the Vice President.
He went on to label them as foolish for backing Harris, particularly highlighting her proposal for a tax on capital gains, which he claimed could lead to an economic downturn akin to the 1929 Depression.
Trump even suggested that such a tax implementation might trigger calamity, albeit benefiting appraisers and accountants.
This outburst stands in stark contrast to Trump’s earlier nonchalant demeanor during an interview with Fox News following Swift’s endorsement of Harris.
During the interview with Fox & Friends, he remarked, “It was inevitable.
She wouldn’t endorse Biden.
When you look at Biden, it’s impossible to endorse him.”
Trump characterized Swift as a staunch liberal who consistently supports Democratic candidates, implying that she might face consequences for her political affiliations.
Despite stating that he is “not a fan” of Taylor Swift, Trump’s campaign took advantage of the situation by releasing merchandise modeled after Swift’s Eras tour t-shirts.
Swift, who had maintained silence throughout most of the 2024 election cycle, broke her silence after Trump shared a falsified AI-generated image of her endorsing his campaign.
Expressing her concerns about misinformation and artificial intelligence, Swift clarified her stance by announcing her support for Harris in an Instagram post.
She emphasized that she was voting for Harris due to their shared advocacy for important causes and rights that require a strong advocate.
The clash between Trump and Swift underscores the intense political polarization in the current landscape, where even popular figures like Swift are not immune to criticism and scrutiny.
Trump’s explicit denouncement of Swift’s support for Harris reflects the deep-rooted divisions and animosities that persist within the political sphere.
