Donald Trump can’t seem to keep Taylor Swift’s name out of his mouth.

The President of the United States took another bizarre jab at the pop superstar this week, posting yet another bizarre Truth Social post - this time, appearing to attack Swift’s looks.

The post comes eight months after the POTUS declared he "hates" the 'Look What You Made Me Do' singer after she voiced her support for Trump's political and presidential rival, Kamala Harris, amid the election race.

Now, it looks like Trump believes his comments have had a deeper impact on Swift.

“Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’” the 78-year-old posted Friday (May 16), setting social media ablaze - with critics slamming Trump over the comment.

"Imagine being such a bitter piece of s**t that you feel the need to tweet this out," one X user wrote.

A second echoed: "Really? You’re an 80 year old man concerned about the popularity of someone half your age?"

"No, she's still hot, but you're not," a third tweeted, with another adding: "I love that Taylor lives rent free in your mind!! Taylor sold out arenas around the world!"

It was just the latest in a string of personal insults Trump has hurled Swift’s way — some in speeches, others online — many of them seemingly fueled by his frustration over her increasingly vocal political influence.

From “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” to “How did that work out?”

Trump first declared his distaste for Swift in September 2024, blasting her on Truth Social just hours after she announced her support for the Harris/Walz ticket.

“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” he wrote in all caps.

At the time, he claimed Swift’s political leanings would damage her brand. “She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace,” he alleged.

Days later, he doubled down during a Fox & Friends appearance, saying: “I was not a Taylor Swift fan. It was just a question of time. ... But she’s a very liberal person.”

By February, his attacks had spilled into public events. During the Eagles' post-Super Bowl visit to the White House, Trump made sure to remind everyone he and Swift were both at the game where the Chiefs — led by Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce — were defeated.

“I was there along with Taylor Swift,” he told the crowd, before twisting the knife: “How did that work out?” He repeated the line as the audience laughed. It marked the first time a sitting US president had ever attended a Super Bowl in person.

Obsession on repeat

Swift’s high-profile appearances at Chiefs games throughout the NFL season sparked endless political commentary. Fans questioned why the spotlight was on her rather than the games themselves.

At the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans, where both Trump and Swift attended, Eagles fans were seen booing the singer.

Trump wasted no time jumping on the moment. He reposted a screenshot from the Libs of TikTok account showing crowd reactions to both him and Swift, with the caption: “Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed – The world is healing.”

Shortly afterward, he trolled her again — this time with a doctored image showing Swift holding a flag that read: “Trump won, Democrats cheated!”

Even months into his second term, Trump was still fuming over her influence.

Springsteen Gets Dragged Too

Swift wasn’t the only celebrity in Trump’s firing line this week. Just 40 minutes after his latest jab at her, the President set his sights on Bruce Springsteen, who had recently blasted Trump’s administration during a concert in Manchester, England.

“I see that Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States,” Trump wrote.

“This dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that’s just ‘standard fare’. Then we’ll all see how it goes for him!”

Earlier in his post, Trump had also ripped the singer as “a pushy, obnoxious JERK,” “dumb as a rock,” and “not a talented guy.”

He accused Springsteen of backing “Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL,” and claimed the U.S. “would have been GONE by now” if he hadn’t won the election.

Springsteen had told the Manchester crowd: “The America I love, the America I've written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.”

Swiftie Family Ties

Despite Trump’s ongoing attacks, not everyone in the Trump family is anti-Swift. Ivanka Trump and her daughter Arabella are self-declared Swifties. The pair were spotted at a Miami stop of the Eras Tour, and Arabella recently celebrated her 13th birthday with a Taylor Swift-themed party.

“Best cake for my favorite Swiftie,” Ivanka posted alongside a heart-shaped cake decorated with lyrics from Swift’s song 'Blank Space'.

The irony hasn’t gone unnoticed.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has spoken about her 32-year age gap with her husband, just days after President Trump praised her during a televised interview.

Leavitt, 27, became the youngest press secretary in U.S. history after Trump appointed her to the role during his second term.

She married Nicholas Riccio, a 59-year-old millionaire real estate developer, in January, just before Trump’s second inauguration.

In a recent appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, Leavitt addressed public curiosity about her “atypical” relationship.

“He is my greatest supporter, he's my best friend and he's my rock,” she said of Riccio. “He's built a very successful business himself, so now he's fully supportive of me building my success in my career.”

The couple met during Leavitt’s 2022 congressional run in New Hampshire, which she lost to Democrat Chris Pappas.

“A mutual friend of ours hosted an event at a restaurant that he owns up in New Hampshire and invited my husband,” she explained. “I was speaking. We met and we were acquainted as friends. And then we fell in love.”

While she admitted to hesitating over the age gap initially, Leavitt said the relationship has been nothing but rewarding.

“I mean, it's a very atypical love story, but he's incredible,” she shared. “He's the father of my child and he's the best dad I could ever ask for... I say, ‘I walked into your life and it's been a circus ever since,’ but God bless him because he's fully on board.”

Leavitt and Riccio got engaged over Christmas 2023 and welcomed their son, Nicholas Robert “Niko” Riccio, in July 2024.

“My heart has grown bigger than I ever imagined possible,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Babies are the ultimate blessing, and I’m bursting with gratitude for our beautiful, happy, healthy boy.”

Just days after giving birth, Leavitt returned to work on Trump’s campaign following the July 13 assassination attempt on the president.

“I looked at my husband and said, ‘Looks like I’m going back to work,’” she told The Conservateur in October.

Despite maintaining privacy around her personal life, Leavitt’s public profile continues to grow, in part thanks to her boss's now-viral comments.

During a Newsmax interview on August 1, Trump lavished Leavitt with compliments after she declared he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. “She’s a great person, actually,” Trump said. “But she’s - I don’t think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline. She’s been amazing.”

Then came the remarks that sparked widespread backlash: “It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.”

Reactions were swift and polarized. “Ewwwwwwwwwwww. Why are we speaking about women like this?” one user posted.

Others called the remarks “cringe” and “deeply inappropriate,” while some defended the statement as a metaphor for Leavitt’s rapid-fire press briefings. “She’s a star,” Trump added. “She’s become a star.”

Leavitt has not responded to the comments directly. Her focus appears to remain on her family and her work.

“It’s true when they say there’s nothing comparable to the love you feel for your child,” she wrote after Niko’s birth. “I’m bursting with gratitude.”

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship has long drawn scrutiny, but Trump biographer Michael Wolff has now made a further claim, alleging the two men were once involved with the same woman.

Speaking on The Daily Beast's Inside Trump’s Head podcast, Wolff said that during the early 1990s the pair were so close that they shared a girlfriend, describing the situation as part of a wider pattern in their social lives at the time.

Claim Relates to Early 1990s Friendship

According to Wolff, the alleged relationship dates back to around 1993 or 1994, a period when Trump was beginning a relationship with Marla Maples, whom he later married in 1993.

“This is the moment in which Epstein and Trump are sharing a girlfriend,” Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles, claiming the woman was a Norwegian model.

He went on to describe the situation as a “shared joke” between the two men, adding that he believed the arrangement reflected how close they were socially during that period.

Epstein Email Referenced in Files Release

Wolff pointed to a 2015 email from Epstein, released last month as part of a wider document dump, which he says appears to reference the same woman.

In the email, Epstein reportedly included a link to Norwegian cosmetics heiress Celina Midelfart, followed by the message: “My 20-year-old girlfriend in ’93, that after two years i gave to donald.”

The email has been cited by Wolff as supporting his account of the alleged shared relationship.

Birthday Letter Raises Further Questions

Attention has also been drawn to a sexually suggestive birthday letter to Epstein that was published by the Wall Street Journal in September.

The letter, which was illustrated and signed with Trump’s name, included references to a “wonderful secret” shared between the two men.

“There must be more to life than having everything,” the letter reads, before continuing with a back-and-forth exchange that ends: “Happy Birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Trump has consistently denied writing the letter.

However, Wolff suggested the “secret” mentioned could be a reference to the alleged shared girlfriend.

Reputation as High-Profile Social Figures

Both Trump and Epstein were known in social circles at the time as wealthy, high-profile figures with reputations as playboys.

In a 2002 interview with New York magazine, Trump described Epstein as a “terrific guy” who was “a lot of fun” to be around, adding that Epstein liked “beautiful women” and that “many of them are on the younger side.”

Wolff said the pair “lived in this world in which there was no pretense and no value at all to domesticity,” describing their lifestyle as centred around the constant pursuit of women.

Pregnancy Changed the Dynamic, Wolff Claims

According to Wolff, that dynamic shifted when Marla Maples became pregnant with Trump’s daughter, Tiffany, in 1993.

He claimed Trump returned to Epstein seeking advice, describing conversations between the two about how to handle the situation, including discussions about abortion.

Wolff characterised those conversations as revealing a lack of emotional understanding.

Ultimately, Trump married Maples, they had their daughter, and later divorced.

The two split in 1997 and finalised their divorce in 1999. Trump went on to meet Melania in 1998.

White House Responds to Claims

When asked for comment, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson criticised Wolff directly, saying: “Why isn’t the Daily Beast concerned with their own employee – Michael Wolff – closely corresponding with, and even offering advice to Jeffrey Epstein, in addition to spreading countless lies?”

The claims made by Wolff remain allegations and have been strongly disputed by Trump and his representatives.

A radio host and former aide to President Donald Trump has been slammed for making a joke about teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg’s body.

During an interview on Sebastian Gorka's radio show America First with Sebastian Gorka, author Andrew Klavan struggled to pronounce the Swedish teen's last name.

"You know, these are people who will defend Greta Thun - whatever her name is," Klavan says. "What is her name? Greta Thunberg?"

To which Gorka suggests, "Thunder thighs Greta Thunberg."

Check out the moment below:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/QR7eusZ0-sKUnNGKf.mp4||QR7eusZ0]]

Klavan then went on to say about Greta:

"They will lay their bodies down to defend any 16-year-old who stands up for a left-wing cause. And suddenly, you know, if you say anything at all about them, you're an evil child molester."

Unsurprisingly, people didn't take to kindly to Gorka's thunder thighs remarks on Twitter.

"She is 17 years old. What the actual f*ck," one person wrote.

"The disgusting Sebastian Gorka follows the toxic Trump playbook, calling Greta Thunberg "thunder thighs." These assholes love to attack females, especially young ones. Thunberg turned 17 four days ago," wrote another.

Thunberg has not been without her share of criticism and vitriol. In fact, when she was named Time magazine's Person of the Year last month, Trump responded to the decision by branding it "ridiculous" and suggesting that Thunberg has an anger management problem.

"So ridiculous," Trump tweeted. "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!"

It seems that the 17-year-old is not taking any backlash against her activism personally though.

“Those attacks are just funny because they obviously don’t mean anything,” Thunberg said in a BBC radio interview. “I guess of course it means something - they are terrified of young people bringing change which they don’t want - but that is just proof that we are actually doing something and that they see us as some kind of threat.”

Donald Trump has been caught on camera making comments about a woman's body while riding in a golf cart with his 17-year-old grandson.

The president, who turns 80 in June, was filmed at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Sunday, and the clip has quickly gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

What happened in the video?

Trump was driving through his Florida golf course with his grandson, Donald Trump III - Don Jr's 17-year-old son - sitting beside him when he spotted a woman.

Without missing a beat, the president began shouting compliments about her physique from the moving cart.

"She's in great shape!" he said, driving with one hand as he pointed at the woman.

"She's in great shape, look at her."

He then pulled over, got out of the cart - leaving his teenage grandson behind - and fixed his belt before calling the woman over.

"You want a picture?" he asked.

"Come on over here."

Still apparently fixated, he added: "Is she in good shape or what?"

Trump then put his arm around the woman, who appeared to be a member at the club. He grabbed her hand as a crowd began to form around them, before asking: "You're all members, right?"

He then put his arm around her once more and asked: "Is that your husband?" - pointing towards the person filming.

Who is the woman in the video?

The woman has been identified as Nina Coates, a golf content creator from Taiwan who is based in Miami.

Coates responded to the attention on social media with good humour, posting a clip of the encounter on TikTok alongside the words 'Yes I'm married' and a laughing face emoji.

How have people reacted?

As you might imagine, the clip hasn't gone down well with everybody.

Critics online were quick to share their thoughts, with one writing on X: "This is disgusting behaviour from a sitting president. His grandson is right there."

Another added: "Nearly 80 years old, commenting on a woman's body like she's a show horse. Embarrassing."

Others were more blunt. "Imagine being 17 and watching your grandad do this," one user wrote, while another simply posted: "This man is the President of the United States."

There were also those who drew comparisons to Trump's long history of making public comments about women's appearances.

The clip comes just weeks after Trump was criticised for complimenting Fox News host Dana Perino's looks on live television while she was asking him about whether Iranians had access to food and water during the ongoing conflict.

"Do you remember when we had lunch years ago at the base of Trump Tower? You haven't changed," Trump told Perino, before adding: "You may be even better looking, OK?" as reported by The Mirror.

The president was also found liable in 2023 for sexually abusing columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, and infamously boasted in the leaked 2005 'Access Hollywood' tape about grabbing women without consent.

Supporters, meanwhile, have largely brushed the golf course clip off as Trump being Trump - arguing that complimenting someone's fitness is hardly a scandal.

Trump's golf habit continues to raise eyebrows

The incident comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Trump's time on the golf course.

A HuffPost analysis released late last month found that the president's golf outings have cost the taxpayer at least $101.2 million in travel and security expenses since he returned to office in January last year.

All three of Trump's wives have been younger than him. His current wife, First Lady Melania Trump, is 55 - some 24 years his junior.

His first wife, Ivana Trump, passed away in July 2022 at the age of 73.

Whether you see the clip as harmless fun or deeply uncomfortable viewing probably depends on where you already stand on Trump.

But either way, it's hard to imagine too many grandfathers behaving like that with a teenager sitting next to them.
