Taylor Swift reacted to Trump's tweets over a chaotic situation in Minneapolis, as violent protests continued in the city over the death of George Floyd.

The pop star on Friday took to Twitter to express dissatisfaction saying that Trump was "stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism," after the president tweeted and threatened to use military force.

"After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?" Swift wrote on Twitter.

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. @realdonaldtrump
