The legendary American singer and songwriter Barbra Streisand has openly criticized Donald Trump's recent remarks about Taylor Swift, describing them as "immature and vindictive" behavior from someone unfit to ever run for the presidency of the United States.
"When Trump posts something as silly as 'I hate Taylor Swift,' it sounds like a teenager who couldn't get tickets to her concert. But he's a 78-year-old immature and vindictive man who should never become president of the United States," Streisand stated on her profile on X.
The actress's observation comes amid a growing controversy between Trump and the pop star, following Swift's endorsement of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the upcoming elections. The Democratic campaign is leveraging Swift's support to mobilize young voters, a crucial demographic in the electoral race.
Following Swift's endorsement, more than 400,000 people visited the voter registration site, vote.gov, within 24 hours. However, data on the actual impact of this action remain mixed.
A recent survey by ABC News/Ipsos shows that only 6% of voters believe Swift's endorsement makes them more likely to support Harris, while 13% say it decreases that likelihood. The remaining 81% claim Swift's stance does not influence their decision.
Trump, by referencing Swift's comment, has kept the issue in the headlines, although an apparent second assassination attempt has shifted media focus away from the dispute.
As of now, the young singer has not responded to Trump's attacks on social media.
