Why did Donald Trump call Taylor Swift a ‘fake liberal’? What else did he say?

Former US President Donald Trump has once again targeted popular singer Taylor Swift and labelled her as a ‘fake liberal’. This comes years after the two crossed swords in 2020 ahead of the Presidential elections in which Trump lost to Joe Biden. These comments have been made in an upcoming book which is set to be released soon. The former president has suggested that the singer’s political views are “just an act”. Taylor Swift is yet to respond to these comments. The upcoming books explores the contributions of Trump and his views on a variety of subjects.

Trump’s views:
In the book titled “Apprentice in Wonderland” which has been authored by Ramin Setoodeh, Trump questioned if Taylor was legitimately liberal? He even asked if this was act by the singer to appear liberal in her political views? He added that he was surprised that someone like the singer can be successful despite being a liberal. He went to praise the singer for one reason despite her fake beliefs. He added that she was beautiful and unusually beautiful.


Taylor’s views on Trump:
In a documentary titled ‘Miss Americana’ which was released in 2020, the singer is seen fighting with her team to break her silence on various political issues. She went on to support the Senate candidate from the state of Tennessee in the 2018 elections. This candidate belonged to the Democratic Party. She had supported the candidate and even asked her 95 million supporters on X (formerly Twitter) to support the candidate.

In 2020, she went on to accuse Donald Trump of stocking the fires of white supremacy and delivering an ineffective leadership that increased racism in the society. Trump had dismissed her views and labelled her as ‘disloyal’.
