Nancy Sinatra has once again made it clear where her father stood on Donald Trump. In a brief but sharp reply on X (formerly Twitter), the singer corrected a fan who claimed that Frank Sinatra “would have loved Trump.”
Nancy’s answer left no room for debate. She wrote:
“Do some homework before you make a fool of yourself. My dad LOATHED trump.”
The post was made from her official account, and the exchange can be seen here:
The comment came in response to a thread discussing Trump and immigration policy. Nancy had reacted to a video that appeared to show immigration officers targeting Latino workers, saying that what she was seeing was not the kind of America her father believed in. When a user jumped in and tried to claim Sinatra would have supported Trump, she fired back with the “loathed” line that has since been picked up widely by news outlets and social media pages.
This is not the first time Nancy has pushed back against attempts to link her father to Trump. Over the years, whenever people have tried to position Frank Sinatra as a natural Trump supporter, she has repeatedly stepped in to correct the record, often reminding followers that her father’s values and experiences led him to see Trump very differently.
Part of the story goes back to a famous clash in 1990. Sinatra had been booked to perform at the opening of Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City. After the executive who negotiated the deal died, Trump reportedly tried to reopen and change the terms. Sinatra was said to be furious and chose to walk away from the engagement altogether, taking his show elsewhere. According to his former manager, the singer told Trump exactly what he thought of the new offer in very explicit language.
Frank Sinatra’s politics moved over time, from strong support for Democratic figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy to later backing Republicans like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. That shift has sometimes led people to assume he would have lined up behind Trump as well. Nancy’s message pushes back against that idea, suggesting that whatever his party alignment, her father judged Trump on character and behavior, not just on which side of the aisle he stood.
Nancy herself has been openly critical of Trump for years, saying in past interviews that she struggled to understand those who voted for him. Her latest post continues that line and adds one more clear statement to the public record about how, in her view, Frank Sinatra really felt.
In an era where fans often project modern politics onto long-gone legends, Nancy’s reply is simple and pointed. When it comes to Donald Trump, she says, there is no mystery about her father’s opinion: he did not admire him, he did not quietly support him, he “loathed” him.
