If you thought you’d heard all of the idiotic and utterly clueless things convicted felon Donald Trump could possibly say, he’s now suggesting that pop star Taylor Swift is merely “pretending to be a liberal” since she used to make country music.
According to Ramin Setoodeh, an editor at Variety who has a new book out, Trump was also quite taken with Swift when it came to her physical appearance.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,” Trump told Setoodeh for his book. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!”
In the book, entitled, “Apprentice in Wonderland,” Trump was far from finished with his assessment of Swift, who is arguably the biggest star on the planet at the moment.
“She is liberal, or is that just an act?” he asked Setoodeh.
“She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.”
So no country music stars are liberal? That’s preposterous, but considering that Trump’s knowledge of nearly every subject is minimal at best, perhaps it should come as no surprise he’d be too ill-informed to have a fully developed view of anything outside his area of expertise: Grifting.
Swift resisted speaking on the subject of politics for many years but changed her mind in 2018 with a post on social media.
“In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she wrote on Instagram at the time, railing against candidate Marsha Blackburn’s voting record. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country.”
After supporting Biden in 2020, speculation is running rampant regarding whether or not Swift will again endorse the Biden-Harris ticket in 2024. If she does, expect plenty of anger on the right and celebrating on the left.
“Apprentice in Wonderland” will be published on June 18.
