Country star Shania Twain is Canadian, but if she had the chance to vote in the 2016 American presidential election, she would have supported Donald Trump. She made the declaration this weekend in an interview with The Guardian and, as expected, she got plenty of hate for it.
"I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest," Twain said. "Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn't be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don't want bullsh-t. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent. And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?"
Sadly, like many high profile figures who have dared to show even an ounce of support for the current president, Twain apologized for her innocuous comment.

We respectfully ask you to Shut Up & sing! ...Hey?
LOL!
Now I’m done with her too. Too bad she just didn’t shut up and sing. Lost all interest in Faith Hill too for the same reason. Two more beautiful entertainers whom I’ve crossed off my list.
Too bad. She should think before she tells us her politics.
Not very Canadian of her. She must have missed the memo where she’s supposed to hate Rob Lowe now.

Dumb ol’ Shania thought that she could appease the liberal fascists by simply adding the “even though he was offensive” part.
She thought wrong.
As is almost ALWAYS the case, they don’t get political until AFTER they’ve got zillions in the bank.
With a perky posterior much can be forgiven
We have to acknowledge that we must make allowances, in all professions, when judging success, whether entertainers or politicians, for those who are both successful, and lack character, and permanent fundamental convictions.
Sir Perksalot? LOL!
Not Guilty
I haven’t liked her in years. Had a relative who was chosen to sing with her at a concert. Twain didn’t meet or thank her afterward. Just took off. Very rude.
Ain’t so perky anymore.
Pardon me while I go put on a Tammy Wynette record.
I’m pretty sure that apologies such as that from Shania are a necessity for their careers, though it likely was not a heartfelt apology. She still would have the same thoughts about Trump, and she probably should have kept her mouth shut to begin with, just like all singers and actors and celebrities should too.
Crickets.
If you look at his policies and what's happened, there's nothing to bitch about, so they go after personal traits about him. In one year he did more for blacks than Obozo ever did...just look at their unemployment rates now versus the previous eight years. True, he jacked up transfer payments to the unproductive by 32% during his reign, but which is better: a handout or a job? Believe it or not, most prefer a job. "Hope and Change"? What a crock...worst years under that clown since Carter.
Just think if he manages a peace treaty with the norks after all these years with just a cease fire in place. Nice.
