'Ewwwww': Internet erupts after 'Trump gets weird' about Taylor Swift in interview
June 26, 2024
Many wish they could unhear former President Donald Trump, who just turned 78, gush about mega star Taylor Swift by involving the word "beautiful" five times.
Trump was captured in a new recording fawning over the 34-year-old Swift.
"Yeah, I think she's beautiful," he said in the recording played on CNN's "Out Front" with Erin Burnett. "Very beautiful. I find her very beautiful.

"I think she's liberal; she probably doesn't like Trump. But I hear she's very talented. But I think she's very I think she's very beautiful, actually. Unusually beautiful."
The recording was conducted by "Apprentice in Wonderland" author and Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.
The response to the physical looks of the musician who is nearly 50 years his junior had some convulsing.
Peter Henlein was disgusted by the remark, but then questioned whether it stood up to remarks the 45th president made about his grownup daughter Ivanka.
"Trump gets weird talking about Taylor Swift and how beautiful he thinks she is," according to his tweet. "But this is way less weird and creepy than when he talks about his own daughter. At least he doesn’t say he wants to f--- Taylor Swift."
His aides at one time accused Trump of marveling over "Ivanka’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted [ex-aide John] Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, wrote in his book "Anonymous."
Legal expert Bradley Moss also was grossed out. "So cringe," he wrote on his Twitter/X account. "He’s giving me the ick."
"I didn’t have Trump crushing on Taylor Swift on my 2024 BINGO card," writes Crazy Fenaker.
@CatsforPeace2 tweeted: "He is so freaking creepy."
"He's a dirty old man," reads the response from @luckyblue2022. "The way he was talking about her was revolting."
@SherryRoush59 also felt sickened: "I needed a bleach shower after i first heard."
Perhaps it was Julie Zebrak who viscerally channeled what many couldn't in one word: "Ewwwww."
