Trump Declares Hatred For Taylor Swift After Harris Endorsement

Former President Donald Trump spent his Sunday morning on social media blasting those supporting Vice President Kamala Harris for president in November  including pop superstar Taylor Swift.

I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT! the Republican candidate posted on his Truth Social platform, immediately after another post where he calls rich, job creating people who support Harris STUPID.

Swift, who was once known for avoiding public talk about politics, announced her much-anticipated endorsement of Harris just minutes after ABC News presidential debate ended Tuesday night. The endorsement came in the form of an Instagram post featuring the 14-time Grammy Award winner with one of her cats  a nod to Trumps running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), who received widespread backlash after trying to belittle Democratic women who dont have kids as childless cat ladies.

In her massively influential endorsement of the Democratic ticket, the singer said Harris fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.

I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos, Swift continued, adding that she was heartened and impressed that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was chosen to be the candidates running mate because she said he has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF and a womans right to her own body for decades.

Swifts Democratic endorsement was partly in response to Trump sharing AI-generated images of women wearing Swifties for Trump T-shirts. Because her team didnt condemn the images at the time, the public  including the singers fiercely loyal fan base wondered if Swift would dodge endorsing a candidate altogether this year.

Trump initially reacted to Swifts Democratic endorsement last week by claiming he never even liked her , despite once telling Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh that the superstar is unusually beautiful and talented with great star quality.

I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time, the GOP candidate told Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy on Wednesday. She couldnt, you couldnt possible endorse [President Joe] Biden. You look at Biden, you couldnt possibly endorse him.

But shes a very liberal person, he continued. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and shell probably pay a price for it in the marketplace.

Swift endorsed Biden for president in 2020.

Voters know All Too Well how dangerous Trump and his Project 2025 agenda will be if he wins. This November, we can make sure this is The Last Time we have to deal with his End Game of jacking up taxes on the middle class and ripping away Americans freedoms, Harris-Walz spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in a statement filled with references to Swifts discography.

Together, we can turn the page on the Trump Era and write a new chapter where all Americans Breathe easy knowing we have strong, steady leadership at the helm, she continued. We can make sure The Story of Us is one of progress  and show Donald Trump we are not going Back to December of 2020. Like ever.
