Former President Donald Trump claimed that he hates pop superstar Taylor Swift following her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in a post shared on his Truth Social account Sunday (September 15) morning.
"I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" Trump, 78, wrote in all caps.
Swift, 34, shared a lengthy post announcing her anticipated endorsement of Harris shortly after the vice president faced Trump in a presidential debate last Tuesday (September 10), having previously shown support for President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election," Swift wrote. "I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she 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. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
"I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice. Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered! I also find it’s much easier to vote early. I’ll link where to register and find early voting dates and info in my story. With love and hope,
"Taylor Swift
"Childless Cat Lady."
Trump called into FOX News' morning show FOX & Friends last Wednesday (September 11) and claimed the debate "was three on one" after he was fact checked by ABC News moderators Linsey Davis and David Muir several times.
"I thought I did a great job," Trump said.
“It was a rigged deal, as I assumed it would be, because when you looked at the fact that they were correcting everything and not correcting with her,” he added.
“It was a three-on-one — that’s OK, I’ve had worse odds before, but never so obvious,” Trump said of the moderators. “They’re dishonest. I think ABC took a big hit last night … They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.”
Davis and Muir corrected Trump a total of four times, which many Republicans perceived as a lack of impartiality, yet the former president still believed he had a strong performance.
“I’ve been told I’m a good debater,” Trump said. “I think it was one of my better debates, maybe my best debate.”
