Trump suggests his opinion of Taylor Swift has made her less popular

President Trump suggested Friday his swipe at Taylor Swift last year has hurt her popularity.

"Has anyone noticed that, since I said "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," she's no longer "HOT?"," the president wrote in a Truth Social post Friday, as he flew back from the Middle East to the U.S. after the first major overseas trip of his second term.

A White House official told CBS News: "As a business and entertainment mogul President Trump is highly qualified to comment on the rise and fall of various celebrities," including Swift.
