Donald Trump isn’t exactly shaking it off when it comes to Taylor Swift’s big Kamala Harris endorsement.
The former president dialed into "Fox & Friends" after the heated Presidential debate and Taylor Swift's recent headline-grabbing support for the current VP, and while he tried to keep it cool, you could tell he wasn’t thrilled.
Taylor Swift's endorsement of Kamala Harris comes after her close gal pal, Brittany Mahomes, subtly showed her support for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump Comments On Taylor Swift's Endorsement For Kamala Harris
Following the debate, Donald Trump made it clear that he’s not losing any sleep over missing out on Taylor Swift's backing, saying he's not even a fan of hers to begin with.
He added, "Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better," per TMZ.
Trump's latest comments come after he shared a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, expressing his gratitude to Brittany Mahomes, noting it was “nice” to see the “beautiful” Brittany “strongly defending” him and saving the United States “from DOOM.”
"I want to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me, and the fact that MAGA is the greatest and most powerful Political Movement in the History of our now Failing Country," he wrote at the time. "With Crime and Illegal Immigration totally out of control, INFLATION Ravaging all Americans, and a World that is laughing at the stupidity of our hapless 'leaders,' it is nice to see someone who loves our Country, and wants to save it from DOOM."
Brittany Mahomes Subtly Supports Donald Trump
As The Blast reported, the former soccer star reportedly liked—and then very quickly unliked—a post from the Republican candidate on August 13, which was all about “The 2024 GOP Platform.”
Brittany later appeared on the “WHOOP” podcast to address the backlash, talking about how her hubby, Patrick Mahomes, has been her rock when it comes to navigating the ups and downs of fame and public scrutiny.
“I think the main thing that he always told me is like, ‘Stop caring about what people think, especially the people that don’t even know you,'" she explained to the listeners before admitting that “social media used to get me a lot” but now she doesn’t “give a f-ck about what people have to say about me anymore."
“And I think he’s helped me get to that point where I’m strong in who I am, I’m confident in who I am and I’m confident in mine and his relationship -- and I’m confident in our life," she continued. "So, why does what other people say have to matter at all?”

The "22" singer, who has grown a relationship with Brittany after she began dating Travis Kelce, took a different approach when it comes to the upcoming Presidential election, endorsing Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris.
"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most," Taylor wrote in her lengthy Instagram caption shortly after the debate ended. "As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."
"I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election," she announced. "I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them."
