Music legend’s absolutely brutal Trump statement

Following Taylor Swift’s Kamala Harris endorsement, another Grammy winning icon has shared a fiery statement targeting Trump.

Legendary musician Linda Ronstadt has written a scathing letter directed at former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Instagram.

The Grammy-winning singer slammed the former president on Wednesday before his campaign visit to her namesake music hall in her local American hometown.

“I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something,” she wrote. “It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit.”

The singer denounced the Trump administration for “systematically ripped apart migrant families seeking asylum” across the US southern border, adding: “There is no forgiving or forgetting the heartbreak he caused.”

Ronstadt, whose father was of Mexican descent, continued: “Trump first ran for President warning about rapists coming in from Mexico. I’m worried about keeping the rapist out of the White House.”

Ronstadt also announced that she would be “voting proudly” for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz.

“P.S. to J.D. Vance,” the singer captioned alongside a photo of her cat. “I raised two adopted children in Tucson as a single mum. They are both grown and living in their own houses. I live with a cat. Am I half a childless cat lady because I’m unmarried and didn’t give birth to my kids? Call me what you want, but this cat lady will be voting proudly in November for @kamalaharris and @timwalz.”

Her remarks follow Taylor Swift, a self-declared “childless cat lady”, and one of the world’s most popular and influential stars, endorsing Kamala Harris for president of the United States.

Swift broke her silence Tuesday, voicing support for Harris over Donald Trump, and calling the Democratic candidate a “steady-handed, gifted leader.”

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” she wrote on Instagram.

The post landed in the minutes following the televised presidential debate that saw the two candidates face off for the first time, which the singer said she tuned in to.

“I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them,” Swift said.

“I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.”

She signed off her Instagram post by dubbing herself a “childless cat lady,” a swipe at a much-mocked sentiment expressed by Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance, which he had wielded in a bid to insult Democratic women.
