US President Donald Trump reignited his long-standing feud with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift during a trip to the Middle East, where he was being feted by leaders and wealthy CEOs. The exchange began when Trump shared a post on Truth Social claiming that Swift had lost her “hotness” after publicly endorsing Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The criticism comes at a critical time for Trump’s domestic agenda, as his “One Big Beautiful Bill” faces opposition from Republicans in Congress who are skeptical about its scope and spending. Despite the challenges, Trump seemed to be preoccupied with Swift, having previously criticized her support for Harris and welcomed the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House.
It is unclear why Trump chose to re-engage in the feud now, but it appears he remains opposed to Swift’s public endorsement of Harris. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between Trump and his critics, including celebrities and politicians who have publicly disagreed with him.
