AceShowbiz - On Sunday morning, September 15, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to launch a verbal assault on several individuals and organizations. In a series of all-caps tweets, he expressed his hatred for Taylor Swift, labeled the New York Times as "failing," and criticized Kamala Harris' tax plan.

Trump's tirade against Swift appears to stem from her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz in the 2024 presidential election. This followed a fivefold increase in voter registration after Swift's social media post, potentially indicating that voters driven to register based on her support are unlikely to support Trump.

Trump's dislike for Swift has been a topic of discussion for several years. In 2018, he claimed to like her music "25% less" after she endorsed a Democratic candidate. In 2019, Swift criticized Trump's handling of abortion rights and his presidency, while in 2020, she expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement and criticized Trump's attempts to dismantle the U.S. Postal Service.

Trump also turned his ire towards the New York Times, describing it as "failing" despite data indicating steady growth in subscriptions, particularly among paid digital-only subscribers. His criticism of Harris centered around her plan to tax unrealized capital gains, which, according to Mother Jones, is unlikely to pass Congress and would only impact those with substantial wealth.

Trump's tweets have sparked mixed reactions. Jon Favreau, a former Obama speechwriter, responded with a reference to a Swift song, calling Trump the "smallest man who ever lived." Swift herself has not yet publicly addressed Trump's latest attack, but his "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" post sparked the hashtag "I HATE DONALD TRUMP" to trend on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
