Trump Wonders If Taylor Swift Is Just Pretending To Be Liberal
HuffPost
“She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal," the former president asked in an interview.
Former president Donald Trump has a lot of thoughts about Taylor Swift, including whether she’s just pretending to be a liberal.
According to an upcoming book, “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,” Trump thinks the singer is “beautiful,” but has problems with her politics.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful,” Trump told author Ramin Setoodeh in an excerpt shared by Variety. ”I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
But Trump’s praise of Swift stops at her looks. He told Setoodeh, who is the co-editor-in-chief of Variety, that he “[doesn’t] know [her music] well,” and also expressed dismay at her politics.
Swift famously called out Trump in 2020 for “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism” during his entire presidency, and also endorsed Joe Biden.
