Donald Trump has been making fun of Taylor Swift after she was booed at the Super Bowl.
He became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, and given the mixed reception of cheers and boos he seemed to get from the crowd when the cameras were on him, he's rather throwing stones at Swift from a glass house here.
Swift's boyfriend is Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, whose team lost to the Philadelphia Eagles to miss out on winning the Super Bowl three times in a row.
Since she's so associated with the Chiefs when she ended up on the screen, the legion of Eagles fans packing out the stadium started to 'aggressively boo' her, leaving the singer to seemingly ask 'what's going on?' amidst the noise.

Trump has had quite the feud with Swift and once posted 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT' after she said she would be voting against him at the recent US election.
She didn't criticise him in her post last year saying she'd be voting for Kamala Harris, instead writing that she was voting 'for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them'.
In the aftermath of the Super Bowl, it seems that Trump decided the best use of his presidential time was to share posts on Truth Social comparing the crowd reactions they got.
He posted a video of himself getting some cheers alongside a video of Swift being loudly booed, then shared someone else's post that said: "Trump gets massive cheers at the Super Bowl while Taylor Swift gets booed.

"The world is healing!"
Not content to just do that, Trump then went back in for another dig at the singer on his own social media platform, but not before declaring that he didn't want the US to make any more pennies.
On the subject of currency, he wrote: "For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let's rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it's a penny at a time."
Two hours later he returned to the subject of Swift, posting: "The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!"

Trump didn't stick around to watch the end of the game, leaving shortly after halftime and a show in which people think Kendrick Lamar took a chance to make fun of the president.
Samuel L. Jackson dressed as American mascot Uncle Sam welcomed Kendrick onto the stage to perform 'Not Like Us', while Jackson then told the rapper 'he's too ghetto' and then shouting 'Yes! America wants slow chill music' when he changed songs.
