The post Donald Trump Calls Taylor Swift Unusually Beautiful, Questions If Shes Actually Liberal appeared first on Consequence.
If theres one celebrity who can single-handedly derail Donald Trumps bid to return to the White House in 2024, its Taylor Swift. Perhaps aware of this, the former president struck an unusually conciliatory, albeit weirdly creepy tone towards the pop star in a recent interview with Variety editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.
Discussing Swift in a November 2023 interview, Trump said: I think shes beautiful very beautiful! I find her very beautiful
I hear shes very talented. I think shes very beautiful, actually unusually beautiful!
Having largely avoided commenting on politics throughout her career, Swift broke her silence in 2018 when she endorsed Tennessee Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen for the US Senate and Jim Cooper for the House of Representatives. She then publicly endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ahead of the 2020 presidential election. The change we need most is to elect a president who recognizes that people of color deserve to feel safe and represented, that women deserve the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and that the LGBTQIA+ community deserves to be acknowledged and included, she told V Magazine of her decision at the time.

He really is a creepy guy, the kind of little dude we expect to see on neighborhood watchlists, prevented from living too close to schools or playgrounds.

(5,020 posts)"Even so, in his interview with Setoodeh, Trump questioned whether Swift was actually liberal. She is liberal, or is that just an act? he asked Setoodeh. Shes legitimately liberal? Its not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal.

(2,332 posts)Ever hear of Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Garth Brooks, you jizz-headed numpty? Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and The (Dixie) Chicks? They're among the biggest names in country music of all time.
Some more country stars who are liberal, or at least lean that way:

(38,813 posts)His comments about her appearance are creepy (as are his comments about pretty much any woman).
The comment about her politics is in connection with being able to be liberal and a successful country star.

Still obnoxious, but not as creepy as if he directly tied her appearance to politics.

(8,103 posts)He's so stupid. Those comments alone will cause them to vote against him. He's a married man who famously said he could grab pussy, no sweat.
I wish she would come out and endorse Biden. She ain't stupid. After all that crap Trump said during football season, he's dumb enough to think a few compliments will do it for her. Trying to walk it back, Donald?
Go, Swifties!
