00:00 "Former President Donald Trump is sharing his opinions on Taylor Swift's looks and
00:04 suggesting her liberalism is simply an act."
00:08 It's no secret that there's a fair amount of bad blood between Donald Trump and Taylor
00:12 Swift.
00:13 While Taylor Swift was previously rumored to be a Republican, Swift started speaking
00:17 out about politics back in 2018, advocating for left-leaning politicians and policies.
00:23 Swift also famously tweeted Donald Trump following the death of George Floyd in 2020, writing,
00:28 "After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have
00:33 the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?
00:37 When the looting starts, the shooting starts?
00:39 We will vote you out in November."
00:41 Now Trump is sharing his opinion of Taylor Swift, commenting on her appearance in his
00:45 book Apprentice, writing, "She's liberal.
00:47 She probably doesn't like Trump.
00:49 I hear she's very talented.
00:50 I think she's very beautiful, actually.
00:52 Unusually beautiful.
00:54 She is liberal, or is that just an act?
00:56 She's legitimately liberal?
00:58 Just not an act?
00:59 It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal."
01:02 While Taylor Swift herself has not responded, Swifties are calling out their issues with
01:07 Trump's comments online.
