Vice President Harris' campaign team ridiculed former President Trump in a press release on Sunday after he expressed his distaste for pop star Taylor Swift on Truth Social.
“We feel pretty confident and safe to say that Donald Trump's week has hit him hard,” Harris' campaign said in a statement Sunday from spokesperson Sarafina Chitika on the social media platform X, which referenced several Swift songs.
“Mr. Not-at-all Fine has spent this week working through his feelings, complaining about his champagne problems, and spending absolutely no time addressing the problems facing the American people,” Harris' campaign continued. “His bluster, his shouting, and his constant conspiracy theories have many wondering if The Man is 'too emotional' to be president.”
The release included a Sunday post from Trump about the “Is It Over Now?” singer in which he said, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Swift endorsed Vice President Harris earlier this week following a debate between her and Trump, saying on Instagram that she believes the vice president “is a steady, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”
“Donald Trump's week of whining and conspiracy theory spouting has voters on both sides of the aisle ready to forget he even existed,” Chitika said, again referencing multiple Swift songs. “The American people want to emerge from the chaos and division of the Trump era, leave behind the void of Trump's broken promises, and start fresh by electing Vice President Harris to ensure America's future of opportunity is long lived.”
On Wednesday, Trump dismissed Swift's endorsement of Harris in an interview with “Fox & Friends.”
“I was not a fan of Taylor Swift,” Trump said.
“It was just a matter of time. There was no way she could support Biden. … But she’s a very liberal person,” the former president continued. “She always seems to support a Democrat, and she’s probably going to pay a price for that in the marketplace.”
In an email to The Hill, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung linked to a post on X from the “Trump War Room” account that appeared to reference a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll that found 6 percent of respondents said Swift’s public support for Harris makes them “more likely to vote for Harris for president.”
