Swift slams US politics and Trump’s ‘autocracy’

Bloomberg

Taylor Swift said US President Donald Trump probably thinks of the US as an “autocracy” and that she has become disillusioned with the state of American politics
in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.
The criticism of the president is unusually pointed for the singer, who for years declined to publicise her political beliefs. She now says she regrets remaining quiet during 2016 presidential election, and that she would have endorsed Hillary Clinton.
“The things that happen to you in your life are what develop your political opinions. I was living in this Obama eight-year paradise of, you go, you cast your vote, the person you vote for wins, everyone’s happy!” she said. “This whole thing, the last three, four years, it completely blindsided a lot of us, me included.”
