Streisand went off on Trump and his 'dictator' behavior after he took to Truth Social to claim he made Swift 'so much money' by signing the Music Modernization Act in 2018.

Legendary singer Barbra Streisand went off on former President Donald Trump and his "dictator" behavior after he claimed he made pop star Taylor Swift "so much money" by signing the Music Modernization Act in 2018, which updates copyright law "to make statutory licensing more fair for creators and more efficient for digital music providers," according to the U.S. Copyright Office.

Earlier, Trump targeted Swift and speculated about her potential endorsement of President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election. In characteristically self-promoting fashion, Trump claimed credit for Swift's financial success, citing his involvement in passing the legislation.


Trump argued that Swift should acknowledge his contribution and labeled supporting Biden as "disloyal." He said there is "no way" Swift "could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money."

Streisand criticized Trump's outburst in a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing:

"Trump is telling Taylor Swift that she’ll be disloyal if she supports Biden! Can you imagine? This is what a dictator is like. He’s really flipped his lid now."

Many echoed her criticisms.



Streisand has remained a vocal critic of Trump's, highlighting much of his criminality in posts to her followers.

Last year for instance, she took a jab at his fundraising tactics, specifically targeting the way he solicits donations from his fanbase to cover his fines and legal fees. She noted that Trump, who is reportedly a "billionaire" who "lives in luxury, [and] flies around in his own plane" and yet "thinks his followers should pay all his legal expenses."

Previously, she addressed the former President's destabilizing influence on the country, referring to him as a "one-man weapon of mass destruction" who "prefers to blame others when he is at fault" and "takes another swipe at the pillars of our democracy," saying he cannot be allowed "to irrevocably change this country."

Ralph Fiennes Got Absolutely Shredded For His Next Film Role—And Fans Are Impressed

You really have to hand it to method actors: when they commit to a role, it seems like there's nothing they won't do to become the character they're portraying on the screen or stage.

Ralph Fiennes, for example, is no stranger to method acting. Back when he worked on Schindler's List as Amon Goeth, Steven Spielberg commented on his commitment to the part, both studying historical documents and published diary entries and gaining weight for the part.

In a recent interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, director Chris Columbus admitted that Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2 has turned into something of a “curse"—one he now regrets. Columbus revealed he had considered cutting the scene entirely but ultimately left it in after test audiences responded well to the brief appearance.

New Wax Figure Of Viola Davis Leaves Fans—And The Oscar Winner—Stunned By Its Accuracy

Usually when one of Madame Tussauds' new wax sculptures makes headlines, it's because the sculpture in question looks nothing like the person it's meant to depict, and instead some uncanny valley horror show.
