Bette Midler urges Taylor Swift to take action against Donald Trump over his 'dangerous' commentary

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Donald Trump’s social media tirade has once again stirred controversy, this time targeting pop sensation Taylor Swift.

Bette Midler, the iconic 'Hocus Pocus' star, took a stand against the former president's aggressive commentary, labeling it "dangerous" and calling for Swift to take legal action, as reported by Newsweek.

Betty Midler defends Taylor Swift after Donald Trump's 'dangerous' rhetoric

On the morning of September 15, Trump made waves on his social media platform, Truth Social, with a shocking post aimed directly at Swift.

In all caps, he wrote, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!" The post was seen as a reaction to Swift's public endorsement of Kamala Harris for president.

This endorsement followed a series of events where Trump had previously used AI-generated imagery to fabricate an endorsement from Swift, which she promptly denounced.

Trump’s disdain for Swift isn't new. His criticism dates back to 2018, coinciding with Swift becoming more outspoken about her political beliefs.

According to Rolling Stone, Trump has frequently taken jabs at the 'Mastermind' singer, often reacting to her political stances with hostility.

Midler, known for her sharp wit and outspoken nature, did not hold back in her response to Trump's tirade.

The actress took to X to express her concern and disapproval of Trump's post. In her message, she described the post as not just dangerous but also "illegal."

"#Trump rage-tweeting his hate for #TaylorSwift is not just dangerous, it’s illegal. He is putting out a hit on her, and we all know it. He wants his minions to do his dirty work, and you know they will," Midler wrote.

She added, "If she is hurt, he will deny that he knows anything about it, as he always does, “I don’t know, I haven’t heard.” She should sue the diapers off him, and I hope she does."
