Taylor Swift has accused US President Donald Trump of “stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism”.

The singer criticised Mr Trump for his response to violent protests in Minneapolis over the death of a black man who died while being arrested.

In a tweet which tagged the President, Swift said: “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?

“‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’?

“We will vote you out in November.”
