Trump Goes After Miley Cyrus After Praising Her Dad Onstage
Donald Trump took aim at pop icon Miley Cyrus during a speech in Nashville Saturday, immediately after heaping praise on her father, Billy Ray.
“Billy Ray Cyrus is here. Where is Billy Ray? He's around here someplace, and he's great. He's a conservative guy. I said, ‘How did you get such a liberal daughter?’ How had that happened, Billy Ray?'” the former president said to a laughing crowd at a Bitcoin conference in a clip posted to X.
Billy Ray’s appearance at the conference comes on the heels of a leaked audio tape in which he cursed out his soon-to-be ex-wife Firerose and called his second wife and Miley’s mom, Tish, a “skank.”

His daughter Miley has not minced words about Trump in the past. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the grammy winner called him a “f—ing nightmare” on Instagram ahead of his first presidential win and tearfully took to Twitter, now X, to lament his victory in 2016.
Ironically, Trump appeared to be a fan of the pop star in the past. “I am a defender of @MileyCyrus, who I think is a good person (and not because she stays at my hotels), but last night's outfit must go!” Trump posted to X in 2013. He also reportedly enjoyed her much-talked-about 2013 VMA performance with Robin Thicke. “I was staying at the Trump Hotel and Donald Trump literally called and said, basically, ‘I know everyone’s talking about it, but I loved it.
