The singer Charli XCX with her amusing, exhilierating, up beat music has driven her fan base to become almost as big as the democratic political voting class after Charli tweeted "Kamala is brat". Brat is a concept made by Charli XCX from her music, the concept of being a super model, maturity, and standing up for yourself. Trump does not understand this concept of "brat", instead he probably assumes Charli XCX called Kamala a brat with the intention of insulting her when it was the exact opposite.

There is no clear evidence that Donald Trump has ever expressed dislike of Charli XCX publicly. Charli XCX has, however, signaled support for his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 election. Donald Trump has also previously expressed frustration with celebrities who do not endorse him, as when he proclaimed to "hate" Taylor Swift. Perhaps Trump has privately expressed discontent with Charli XCX, but there is no public evidence of this.

Nice job on pointing out the lack of evidence between Donald Trump disliking Charli XCX. In addition, it was smart to bring up Trump's history of disliking other celebrities who don't support him. I think this is a solid responses that recognizes the lack of grounded evidence but also how people may assume Donald Trump doesn't like Charli XCX.

After reading this article I learned that everything in it was indeed factual, however, it has no mention of Donald Trump. This article talks about popstar Charli XCX’s involvement in Kamala Harris‘s campaign, and explains “what the rebrand is all about“. It has nothing to do with Trump’s opinion on Charli XCX. It could be assumed that Trump does not like Charli XCX, however there is no proof of that, so that claim is false, though the rest of the article is true.

There is no evidence from any of his rallies, interviews, or other things of the like that Donald Trump dislikes Charli XCX. Charli has also not publicly endorsed either candidate, though she has made comments hinting that she supports Kamala Harris (https://x.com/charli_xcx/status/1815182384066707861?lang=en).

This appears to be false/speculation. Charli XCX did make a tweet saying "kamala is brat", signaling her support for the Vice President in her campaign for the presidency, but did not even officially endorse Harris. There is no evidence of Donald Trump even mentioning Charli, it is unclear if Donald Trump even knows who she is.

This article is truthful and has a short description of the events that led the singer to be associated with Kamala Harris. However, there is no mention of Donald Trump. While it can be assumed that he does not like her based on her association with his opponent there is no evidence anywhere of the claim and the article has no real connection to the claim.

There is no evidence anywhere that Trump has made any sort of statement about Charlie XCX. The article linked discusses Kamala's endorsement from the artist, stating that she even changed her HQ instagram profile and stated "Kamala is brat," both correct claims that can be verified by looking at the Vice President's social medias. While one might be able to infer that Trump doesn't like Charlie XCX due to her endorsement of his presidential component there is no factual evidence that says so.

While Charli XCX did tweet "kamala IS brat" in July, Donald Trump has never reportedly commented on the British pop singer nor the brat phenomenon. This article focuses on the lime-green "brat" trend which has been embraced by the Kamala Harris HQ campaign strategy, but does not mention Trump at all. The statement that Trump does not understand the concept of "brat" is an assumption on the basis of lack of information either confirming or denying, so this statement is misleading.

Donald Trump has never outwardly expressed hate towards singer, Charli XCX. This article  is true in the sense that singer, Charli XCX has shown her support to Kamala Harris through twitter. Source: https://x.com/charli_xcx/status/1815182384066707861?lang=en

The article provides a robust amount of information on the connection between Charli XCX, Kamala Harris and the Brat phenomenon. The issue is that there is no evidence or connection to support the claim that Donald Trump dislikes the artist Charli XCX. The only support provided from the article provides insight into the connection between Charli XCX and Kamala Harris.
