Probably more than a few men in their late 70s would proudly say they’re „Swifties“—as in fans of pop singer Taylor Swift. However, former President Donald Trump isn’t one of them, not by a long shot.
In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, the former president wrote, „I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT“, without going into any specific reason, although her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris last week likely is what spurred Trump to make his view clear.
The question, however, is why he waited several days to make the statement, but also what—if anything—he expected he sought to get from airing his personal opinion about the recent Grammy Award winner. Last Wednesday, he told Fox & Friends that he „was not a Taylor Swift fan“, and expected that she would endorse Harris.
„She’s a very liberal person. She seems to always endorse a Democrat and she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace“, Trump said, suggesting that her public endorsement might drive away Conservative voters.
That fact may be true as there have been some on social media who have said they’re through with the pop singer, but the story seems to have passed. Now Trump’s post may have only served to energize the masses of Swifties—but likely not in his favor!
„Trump clearly understands her influence—and his ‚I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT‘ post could be interpreted as a defensive or one-dimensional move aimed at influencing his followers.
