JUST IN: U.S. President Donald Trump Demands Criminal Prosecution of Taylor Swift, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Oprah Winfrey, and Others in Explosive Phoenix Rally Rant
In a fiery and unrestrained address delivered over the weekend at a political rally in Phoenix, Arizona, United States President Donald J. Trump issued a stunning call for the criminal prosecution of several of the nation’s most prominent public figures. The speech, which quickly ignited controversy across social media and cable news networks, marks one of Trump’s most aggressive rhetorical escalations to date as the 2025 election cycle intensifies.
Before a crowd of thousands of enthusiastic supporters, Trump rattled off a list of names that included not only leading political adversaries, but also celebrities and cultural icons with whom he has previously clashed. The list featured pop megastar Taylor Alison Swift, sitting President Joseph R. Biden Jr., former President Barack H. Obama, Vice President Kamala D. Harris, media mogul and philanthropist Oprah Gail Winfrey, civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton, rock legend Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, late-night comedian Stephen Tyrone Colbert, and global superstar Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.
“These people think they’re untouchable,” Trump declared, his voice rising as chants of “Lock them up!” echoed from the crowd. “But their time is coming. We’re going to hold them accountable — every last one of them.”
Although he did not specify the exact legal charges he believes should be brought against the individuals, Trump alleged widespread corruption, media manipulation, abuse of power, and “anti-American propaganda” as reasons for his demand. He accused several of those named of conspiring to undermine his presidency and weaponizing the legal system to target him and his allies.
The remarks follow recent legal developments in Trump’s own ongoing investigations and indictments, leading many political observers to interpret the rally as both a distraction tactic and a preemptive strike against critics.
Reactions to Trump’s comments have been swift and polarized. While his supporters praised his willingness to “speak truth to power,” critics condemned the speech as dangerous, authoritarian, and reckless.
“Targeting private citizens and political opponents for prosecution without evidence is the stuff of dictatorships, not democracies,” said a spokesperson for President Biden’s reelection campaign.
Meanwhile, representatives for Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and other named individuals have not yet issued public responses.
As the 2025 race heats up and tensions rise nationwide, Trump’s Phoenix speech may mark a new phase in his political strategy—one that leans heavily on spectacle, vengeance, and confrontation with the cultural elite.
