A few days after American superstar Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, Donald Trump is apparently venting his anger about it. “I hate Taylor Swift!” read a message published in capital letters on his Truth Social account.
Truth Social is the online mouthpiece of Republicans. He co-founded the platform as a kind of Twitter replacement when his Twitter account was blocked. Trump usually runs his Truth Social account himself. There was initially no independent confirmation of the authenticity of the Swift post.
Singer spoke out in support of Harris
Swift immediately spoke out in favor of the Democrat after the televised duel on Tuesday night (local time), in which Harris met Trump for the first time. The singer announced in a post on Instagram that she would vote for Harris and her vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz in the presidential election on November 5. Swift has an enormous influence among her fans and has some 284 million followers on the platform.
Trump’s Truth Social account posted several all-caps messages Sunday morning (local time), including: “The failed New York Times is a real threat to democracy.” The Swift post was preceded by: “Everyone who is rich has jobs ‘support comrade Kamala Harris are stupid.”
Trump appeared angry shortly after Swift’s Instagram post. “She always seems to support a Democrat. And she’s probably going to pay a price for that in the marketplace,” he said, adding that he was not a Swift fan.
A few weeks ago, Trump posted AI-generated images on Truth Social that were intended to give the impression that Swift and her fans supported Trump. The singer has now cited these images as one of the reasons she went public with her political stance.
