WASHINGTON, DC: Nancy Sinatra is once again pushing back against claims that her legendary father would have admired President Donald Trump. The 85-year-old singer took to X on Friday, December 5, after seeing a viral video of ICE officers confronting construction workers, writing that the scene was "not my father's America." 



When a commentator insisted that Frank Sinatra would have supported Trump, she swiftly corrected them, saying, "Do some homework before you make a fool of yourself, my father 'LOATHED' Trump." 



Sinatra has repeatedly emphasized that Trump's values, tone, and conduct stand in direct contrast to what her father believed in.

Nancy Sinatra's latest comments came in response to a video showing ICE officers harassing construction workers, an incident that sparked widespread criticism online. She reacted with visible frustration, writing, "This is not my father's America. He would be devastated. Trump is so wrong in so many ways." 

Shortly after, a user pushed back, claiming, "Your dad would have loved Trump." Sinatra, on her X account, corrected the assertion, replying, "Do some homework before you make a fool of yourself, my father 'LOATHED' Trump."

This is far from the first time she has clarified her father's views. In public comments dating back to 2020, she emphasized that the Rat Pack icon had no affinity for Trump's personality or politics. Earlier this year, when another commenter suggested Frank would have backed Trump, she responded that there was "not a chance" her father would have voted for him.

Nancy Sinatra's defense of her father also comes in light of Trump's repeated efforts to associate himself with the iconic singer. Trump has frequently referenced Sinatra's music and even suggested the performer once offered him advice stories that those close to Sinatra have treated skeptically.

In fact, Sinatra's former manager, Eliot Weisman, detailed in his autobiography a tense moment involving Trump during contract negotiations. The account described Sinatra responding sharply after Trump attempted to renegotiate terms, reportedly telling him to "go (away) himself" using much harsher language.

The exchange has long been cited as evidence that Sinatra had little patience for Trump's style or behavior. 

While debates about celebrities' political legacies are common, especially for public figures as iconic as Frank Sinatra, Nancy Sinatra remains steadfast, clarifying that her father's values, relationships, and worldview were fundamentally incompatible with Donald Trump's.
