Donald Trump Reportedly Questions Taylor Swift’s Political Views

Donald Trump’s ongoing comments about 34-year-old pop star Taylor Swift have caught significant attention.

During a meeting with House Republicans on the morning of Thursday, June 13, Trump was quick to criticize Swift’s support for President Joe Biden. CNN Capitol Hill reporter Melanie Zanona revealed on X (formerly Twitter) that Trump questioned, “Why would she endorse this dope?” adding, “He doesn’t know how to get off a stage.”

This remark is part of a broader pattern of comments the 45th president has made about Swift. He has previously described the “Getaway Car” singer as “unusually beautiful” but “liberal” according to an excerpt from Variety’s co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh’s upcoming book, Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.

Trump and Biden are set to face off again in the upcoming presidential election. The 77-year-old Republican, who served as president before Biden took office in January 2021, has faced legal troubles, including being found guilty of 34 charges of falsifying business records connected to a payout to adult film star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election.
